Quests
There are no quests to start in the Dwarven Mine.
Dangers in the Dark
Scorpion (Level 14)
These over-sized hunters thrive in dark, damp spaces, making the Dwarven Mine an ideal habitat. Low-level players should treat these scorpions with caution. Be sure to bring a weapon with you when you mine.
King Scorpion (Level 32)
King scorpions love nothing more than attacking unsuspecting miners as they attempt to gather precious ore. These super stingers are very aggressive, and guard the higher-level rocks.
The scorpions' territory covers the area north of the Mining Guild, right up to the most northern coal rocks.
The king scorpions patrol the iron, mithril and adamantine rocks in the area north of the Mining Guild door; and the coal and tin rocks west of the Falador house stairs.
Miscellaneous
You can use the carts in Keldagrim to travel to the Dwarven Mine. Buy a ticket from a cart conductor in Keldagrim and select Ice Mountain as your destination.
If you have an Agility level of 42, you can take advantage of the shortcut between the two main chambers of the Dwarven Mine.
A few words about Runescape's New Year from its official website:
Our first update of the year is actually one we have been talking about for a while – the new Summoning familiar you voted for during the summer. Of course, we could have just produced a simple Summoning creature to follow you around and do the occasional funky trick, but we decided that a legendary creature such as the phoenix deserved the full treatment. So, it will have its own tutorial-style quest, in which you learn how to deal with the unusual nesting habits of the giant, fire-drenched beast, and a repeatable challenge you can take on every day, should you wish.
Once you've helped the phoenix you'll be able to summon a smaller phoenix familiar to help you in battle, just as you would with any other Summoning familiar. Not only will it be able to fight alongside you (dealing Magic damage), it will also have the ability to fire ashes at your opponents, temporarily blinding them and making it harder for them to attack. On top of this, the phoenix will be able to be reborn from the ashes, leaving nearby nastiest scorched by the accompanying flames.
We will also be releasing the next of our Achievement Diaries this month – this time set in the peaceful Seers' Village and its surrounding woods and castles. As always, the intention of the Achievement Diary is to introduce some of the hidden or 'non-quest' activities associated with an area, so expect to be learning all about coal carts, the Piety prayer, forgotten sorcerers, poisoned chalices, pet fish and bull's-eyes! Rewards include additional experience when cutting down maple trees, and a handy flax picker (similar to Bert, who collects buckets of sand for you after the Hand in the Sand quest).
