geesch Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i recently ran out of members (2 weeks before god wars >.<) and i got 70 mining. my question is is how long would it take (how many hours) to get from 70 mining to 85? for f2p i heard the best iron place is the 3 rock spawn in the al kharid mine. is there better or better ways other than iron to train? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean824 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 You could try south east Varrock, that's where I used to train as FTP. Power mine, or just get an army of lvl 5 noobs to run for you, if you want to bank it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMshadow7 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I will warn you, though, 85 mining isn't all that great. Rune rocks are fairly difficult to mine, as it's a multicombat area and they've usually already been mined by someone. That's not to discourage you from doing it; I just don't want you to have too high expectations.

AznSteve Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The 3 iron rocks in the Al Kharid mine are the best to mine for fastest XP. I average around 45K mining XP/hour there. Just go to any busy world you can find that doesn't have someone already mining the rocks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune rocks are fairly difficult to mine, as it's a multicombat area and they've usually already been mined by someone.

I average around 45K mining XP/hour there. Just go to any busy world you can find that doesn't have someone already mining the rocks there.Impressive. Personally I manage about 30-40k/hour there. Which would come out to be approximately 35 hours.

geesch Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 thanks everyone. the reason for 85 mining, as most assume, is to make money off rune rocks. its not for me lol. i just want the lvl so that if, for some reason, i need runite, i can mine it, and its a nice looking number to add to my skills. 35 hours of mining? yay, thats not near as bad as i thought. i might make some money off the rune rocks, but my income most definitely will not be based on that unless what ive heard about rune rocks arent true.

davidium Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 i got my mining to 85 at the hobgobline mine in the wilderness...over there it is less crowded (wait i mean deserted for 98% of the time) and all there are 4 iron rocks all stuck together...the hobgoblins will also stop attacking u after a while so jus bring some food at the start...of course this is at lvl 32-35 wild so jus bring a rune pick, body, leg and kite and u shd be fine...rmb to protect item pray if some pker comes along and u wont lose anything... ive been mining a lot of rune these days as i find it is THE fastest way of earning a steady stream of income in f2p...if the worlds cooperate with me the best ive mined was 21 rune ores in an hour...around 250k worth. be careful of pkers though...im 112 with 99 def and have yet to see anyone kill me solo when ive more than 10 lobbies (i usually bring 13 lobbies, and a teleport spell set) of course ive died before when some clan logs in and piles me...zzz but overall ill say f2p wild is really a pretty safe place haha.... now to mine the rune rocks safely i suggest placing a scout at the other side of the lava maze...the lvl of this scout doesnt matter much. AND place a second scout AT the rune rocks since if you switch worlds immediately you will have to wait a while. i recommend your second scout at the rune rocks to be a mage pure...perhaps jus train till fire bolt. this way not only will u be able to kill any low lvl rune miners, other high lvl ppl will be unable to attack u too...on top of that, if you decide to drop lobbies for more space in order to mine more rune, your mage scout can pick them up... really to be honest, mining rune is one of the fastest if not THE fastest way for a steady income stream in f2p. all that matters is your experience in getting the rocks...ive mined over 500 rune ores already in slightly over a month's time maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transcript80 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 this way not only will u be able to kill any low lvl rune miners, other high lvl ppl will be unable to attack u too...on top of that, if you decide to drop lobbies for more space in order to mine more rune, your mage scout can pick them up... This is drop trading and against the rules! :shame: Anyway, mining in the wilderness is s good option, as well as the most popular spot, al-Kharid. That is most often crowded, just switch worlds or race /annoy the other miner to get the ores. Also, there ar a couple on iron rocks close to each other in the Rimmingto mine.

Gilformen Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Rune rocks are fairly difficult to mine, as it's a multicombat area not true. the immediate area around the rune rocks is single combat zone. a few squares to the west and quite a bit to the east is where its multi. 32,606th to 99 magic || 15,388th to 99 dungeoneering || 12,647th to 99 farming14,792nd to 99 range || 24,954th to 99 herblore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
