I.

 

Well, since your reading this you're either an new miner or an experienced miner. So I'm gonna let you in on some old miner secrets and tricks I've used since I've joined RuneScape. So first off, you need to get a pick of course. Try picking a world with around 1200 people. This makes the ores respawn faster but it isn't too conjested that you can't mine. Now, to start off go to what I've knick-named "the xp mine". Lame name, I know. But this mine has helped me XP wise since I started mining. This mine is...the Rimmington Mine. If your a member there may be somehwere else, but the Rimmington mine located South of Falidor has never let me down. Few people ever go there, and its got gold, iron, tin, copper, and clay. Making the mine ideal for XP. So go here, and mine a lot of Tin until your high enough to mine Iron. Once you are, mine Iron until you hit level 60 on your mining. A lot of work, a lot of mining, but this is possibly the best way to level up. Make sure you store all that Iron to for a bit more than 10mil.

 

 

 

II.

 

Gaining XP is easy right? Well yea it is, but how good are you at it? The only conflict that you will ever encounter while trying to get more XP is other miners. This is where I yet again, suggest the Rimmington Mine. Few people, and a good amount of ores make this a prime spot. Now time for an old secret...to mine your ores faster, simply click the ore again after the 3rd or 4th hit. This recounts your chances and after 2-3 reclicks, you'll have your ore. This works best on higher level picks and especially Rune being used on Coal. Mining fast means getting XP fast, and getting XP fast, means getting to mine that Rune fast.

 

 

 

III.

 

Making money off your mining is definatley the easy part. As stated in my "Buying, Selling, Merchanting" guide, the best place to sell your ores is in Fally. Now, so you know, ores have a higher value compared to bars, so dont waste your time making bars. Now here's a little price value for up to coal since most people only buy Iron, Coal, and Rune.

 

 

 

Tin - 25 gp

 

Copper - 25 gp

 

Clay - 30 gp

 

Silver - 200 gp

 

Gold - 500-550 gp

 

Iron - 100 gp

 

Coal - 180 gp

 

 

 

Also do note people rarley buy silver, mithril, adaminte, and clay. The biggest money maker is easily Coal but it's suggested you don't mine coal until you are in the mining guild else it will take forever.

 

 

 

IV.

 

Choosing your mining "home" is another way of saying where to mine what. Places closer to banks aren't always the best options as many may think. A slightly farther walk can take you to a more abundant mine with less people, such as the Rimmington Mine. Some mines are better for higher levels though such as the Varrock Mine and Dwarven Mine since they can dominate here as this is most often where level 10's-30's go. You may find yourself outmatched in a mine though in which case you should probably either wait for them to finish, or find another spot. For P2P there is a village where you can mine, then send the cart back filled with your precious ores which is possibly the best place in RuneScape for mining, but for F2P's who don't have access you need to find your own spot. Also when choosing your mine to go to, you need to configure for both world population and mine population. The more people, the faster those ores will respawn but it may mean the mines are crowded in that world. So you should always double check each mine in a few worlds to know which place is best.

a decent guide but i would say to get some pictures in, such a locations of the mining site and such.

 

 

 

do your improving work fast before a mod gets in here as they have a tendency to lock "unfinished" guides.

[phata_elise]

Gold ore is around 500-550. Gold bars are only 200-250.

 

 

 

People buy gold ore to smelt into bars using the goldsmith gauntlets. It's one of the best ways to lvl smithing in the game. Please adjust these prices in your guide. That makes gold ore very interesting to mine indeed ;) As a matter of fact, I don't understand why people mine mith ore at all.

Really bad guide sorry..... Are you really suggesting one should mine iron in Rimmington and bank it in falador!?!?! :shock: :-s

[armybuilder]

a decent guide but i would say to get some pictures in, such a locations of the mining site and such.

 

 

 

 

pictures yes but dont be an idiot and get pictures or ores of something that would be silly .

 

Other than that a poor guide rimmington mine too far away if you mining iron then i would suggest varroc east mine ,also this is a good starting spot for new miners .

[Maxx91]

Rimmington is good when dropping the ores..

 

And when making money mine in the mining

 

guild from lvl 60.

From my expeience this is one of the busier mines and higher levels have a tendency to go there. The rimmington mine is not THAT much farther away, I chose it because it's lower levels and its good for the little bit more distance. I think I've seen 1 person there over the level of 30 mining...ever. And if they lock this ok, I'll repost it soon enough with it being finished. The prices I'm fixing right now to, thanks for telling me that since I guess I was mistaken.

Actully, the rimmington mine is MUCH farther. You can drop the ores, but banking isin't much slower, and get decent profit. Rimmington is for dropping only. Banking in fally takes around 3min back and forth. Mine under fally is under 30 secs.

Las time I cheked there were'nt at LEAST 3 iron rocks next to each other, making it a bad place to powermine once you can 1 hit Iron everytime.
