Giant Mole — Falador Park Nest Money Making
The Giant Mole digs under Falador Park. Enter by using a spade on the mole hills, bring a light source, and farm mole claws / skins. Trade them to Wyson the gardener for bird nests — that nest market is most of the GP. Falador Hard diary (noted parts + locator) roughly doubles efficiency.
Skip if: You will not dig in Falador Park, skip the Hard diary forever, or hate chasing a burrowing boss without a locator.
Dharok ~1M; tbow wiki ~1.5M
Diary locator + cannon for high end
Claws/skins → Wyson (~83% of value)
Easy fight; tracking is the skill
Hard gates
- Spade — dig on mole hills in Falador Park
- Light source — candles/torches can extinguish near the mole; prefer Kandarin headgear 1+, bullseye lantern, or Fire of Eternal Light (Making Friends with My Arm)
- No quest unlock — any member can dig in
Recommended (soft)
- Falador Hard Diary — noted mole claws/skins + Falador shield mole locator (huge KPH)
- 70+ melee for Dharok method, or 85+ Ranged for tbow/cannon safespot
- 43+ Prayer (Protect Melee); 77+ for Rigour on ranged setups
- Dwarven multicannon for ranged methods; stamina for chase-heavy trips
| Method | Budget | Mid / Max |
|---|---|---|
| Melee (Dharok) | Dharok's set, amulet of the damned, strength gear, Protect Melee | Same with better jewellery / torva scraps; stay low HP for max hits |
| Ranged | Blowpipe / MSB + blessed d'hide, cannon | Twisted bow + masori / armadyl, assembler, anguish, Rigour, cannon |
Wear Falador shield 3+ for the locator once Hard diary is done. Bring an unextinguishable light source on the head or as a worn item.
- Spade (always)
- Light source if not using eternal fire / headgear
- Divine ranging or super combat depending on method
- Prayer potions; stamina for dig-chase loops
- Food — Dharok needs careful HP management; ranged needs less
- Cannon + balls for ranged; teleport to Falador / house
- Optional: instance fee cash at NW dig spot if you want a private mole
- Go to Falador Park → dig on a mole hill with a spade (NW hill can open a paid instance).
- Enter Mole Hole with light source on. Protect from Melee.
- Find the mole: follow dig dust, or use the Falador shield locator arrow if diary complete.
- Kill: Dharok at low HP for big hits, or safespot with ranged + cannon so the cannon hits twice while you flick Rigour.
- When she digs away mid-fight, follow immediately — downtime kills KPH.
- Loot claws/skins (noted with Hard diary) → bank or trade Wyson in the park for nests → empty nests later for seeds/jewellery.
- Level 230 boss with a basic melee max hit (~21). No complex specials — tracking is the fight.
- She digs to a new chamber when damaged; locator removes most of the frustration.
- Open light sources can extinguish in melee range — use Kandarin headgear or eternal fire.
- Always drops 1 mole claw and 1–3 mole skins (avg 2) — exchange 1:1 with Wyson for nests.
- Immaculate mole skin is a rarer skin variant; still nest-related value.
Wiki tbow method ~1.5M/hr at ~85 kph; Dharok method closer to ~1M/hr at lower KPH. ~83% of kill value is claws/skins converted to nests. Nest and seed GE prices move the method more than the mole's other drops.
- Stable: mole parts → nests → seeds / rings / bird nest secondary for brews
- RNG: rare drop table, gem table, immaculate skins — minor vs nest volume
- Supplies: prayer, stamina, cannonballs (ranged), Dharok repair — subtract from nest GP
Compare nest prices on GE Tracker; if nests crash, mole GP/hr falls with them.
- Entering without a spade or light source
- Skipping Falador Hard diary and wondering why tracking feels awful
- Selling claws/skins raw instead of Wysoning them when nests are profitable
- Letting the mole dig without following (minutes of dead time)
- Using extinguishable candles and fighting in the dark
