1. What is Sandstone Mining?

Sandstone mining in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a method to obtain buckets of sand, which are used in crafting and construction. Different sizes of sandstone yield varying amounts of sand.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Sandstone\ Weight \) — Weight of the sandstone in kilograms
• \( Yield \) — Buckets of sand per kg of sandstone (typically 1:1)

Explanation: Each kilogram of sandstone typically yields one bucket of sand, though this may vary with game updates.

3. Importance of Bucket Calculation

Details: Knowing how many buckets you'll get helps plan crafting sessions, especially when making molten glass or training Construction.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the weight of your sandstone in kg and the yield rate (default is 1 bucket per kg). The calculator will show the total buckets you'll receive.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the standard yield rate?
A: Typically 1 bucket per kg of sandstone, but always verify current rates as game updates may change this.

Q2: Where can I mine sandstone?
A: The Quarry in the Kharidian Desert is the main location, near the Bandit Camp lodestone.

Q3: What's the best way to transport sandstone?
A: Using the Grinder to convert to sand on-site is most efficient, or use the Desert Amulet 4 for noted sandstone.

Q4: What are buckets of sand used for?
A: Primarily for making molten glass (with soda ash) in Crafting, or for building in Construction.

Q5: Do different sandstone sizes yield differently?
A: No, the yield is based on weight (kg), not the physical size of the sandstone piece.
