Hmm.. I disagree that enough's been said. For one thing, the best method is going to Zanaris, fairy ring BJR to grail castle with pick in inveotry, get a whistle from ground, blow whistle, mine gold, blow whistle, fairy ring, bank, repeat (also, you can glory to edge and fairy ring from there after mining). Gold is great experience, and it helps crafting. Another great idea is mith bars through the blast furnace. Do it with a team of 2-4. Sell noted coal and get mithril ore from Nokdolan. Make them into mithril bolts and you'll turn a profit. In the long run, the Dwarven mine may add up to experience missed out on but I think it's based more on what you prefer, the method you posted seems too time consuming, imo. It sounds long but it's not
