Mining 56-70 on DXP weekend / where to do this?

[mindyabidness]

I'm trying to get in as much as I can from dxp and mining is what I'm doing right now

75 mining is a requirement for the quest I'm trying to do and I was wondering if anyone here knew how to make the most of this weekend when dealing with mining? I have no idea where to start. I know urns are supposed to be pretty good and I'm using them now, but I'm not sure whether I should powermine iron ore / gold / or just do mithril? Please help. Anyone with 70+ mining or close to it, how did you get it? I don't want the suggestion of mining granite, I've done it but I don't feel like going back and forth with porters / waterskins etc. So should I just do iron ore or what? Thanks in advance.

If you don't like granite, the next most efficient option would likely be powermining iron. A spot far away from the bank is good, and ideally you would take almost a full inventory of urns with you. Don't forget to activate them by adding an earth rune. Then you just mine and drop ore, and the urns fill up as you do so, and you can teleport them as you wish.

 

You can also take advantage of Divine Locations and use your daily quota on mining rocks that people place to gain a little more xp, as well as the shooting starts D&D, if those might help a bit. If you are in a clan with a citadel of sufficient tier, you may be able to mine in there, which is semi-afk and also doubled xp over the weekend.

 

It's perfectly possible to do it with mithril or gold ore instead if you like, but it will take quite a bit longer to accomplish.
