Mining is well worth the time and effort. Runite is certainly worth more now than ever, in classic it sold for 10k to 12k, now its around 16k. Coal is always a good seller, and easy to level on, maybe not at lvl 60, but 70+ is fairly fast. I went from lvl 72 to 85 in f2p at skele mine in the wild. Sure it took some time, but it was pretty easy to do, and I had a grip of coal when i was finished. I for one am certainly glad that alot of people are discouraged when trying to get to 85, more runite for us ;) *Joke*
