| rdfs:comment | - Level: Dragon 2 Spell Resistance: no Grabbing a handful of boulders from the ground and chewing them up, you fire out a barrage of stony bullets at your foes before puking a huge boulder chunk at them. Make a ranged touch attack on any creature within 30 feet, up to 1 creature per 4 levels (Max 5 creatures.) If this hits the creature takes normal damage but the damage is considered bludgeoning.
- Pickaxes can be fixed by Nurmof in the dwarven mines and at Bob's Brilliant Axes in south Lumbridge as well as at the battleaxe shop in Port Sarim. There is no charge for bronze, iron and steel pickaxe repairs, but there is an escalating fee for pickaxes made of mithril and above. Note that only damaged pickaxes can be repaired... a broken pickaxe that has a lost handle cannot be fixed by the NPCs. To remedy this situation, you must use the pickaxe handle (not to be confused with a wood axe handle) on the pickaxe head to fix it.
- Even if the rock was still smoking, and a player had already caused the explosion, there was still a chance that it could explode again, if the player tried to mine it multiple times.

There was no charge for Bronze, Iron and Steel pickaxe repairs, but there was an escalating fee for pickaxes made of Mithril and above (it should be noted, however, that at the time that this Random Event existed, the Dragon pickaxe did not).

- The Exploding rock random event (AKA: "smoking rock" or "gas") was a random event in which a player tried to mine a rock after the point at which it began to "steam/smoke/bubble". After mining that rock for more than a few more seconds, the rock would explode, along with the player's pickaxe. It would also damage the player for a number of Life Points and it could even kill them if their Life Points were already greatly reduced.

To remedy this situation, you had to use the Pickaxe handle (not to be confused with an Axe handle) on the pickaxe head to fix it. This random event was created to ward off macroers by Jagex. It was one of the many counter-bot measures they have placed on activities that require many hours of work, such as Fishing and Woodcutting.
- The Exploding rock random event (AKA: "smoking rock" or "gas") was a random event in which a player tried to mine a rock after the point at which it began to "steam/smoke/bubble". After mining that rock for more than a few more seconds, the rock would explode, along with the player's pickaxe. It would also damage the player for a number of Life Points and it could even kill them if their Life Points were already greatly reduced. Using any low-tiered pick axe on a smoking rock would result in your pick being destroyed and not being able to retrieve it, return to any Bob location to buy back that Pickaxe. This Random Event was coded into the game to prevent macroers. However, players can argue that the rate of this random event should be decreased due to the bubbling rocks being too much of a hassle.

It is one of the many counter-bot measures they have placed on activities that require long work, like Fishing and Woodcutting.
