What is it?

 

 

 

Mithril is a good, all-around type of metal that is useful for many things. Mithril can be used in the production of various metal armours and weapons, although these are uncommonly used throughout Runescape; mostly by low-mid level players. Where Mithril really shines is with Mithril Plates for High-Alching and mithril darts/bolts/arrows for Ranging.

 

 

How do we get it?

 

 

 

Well, there are a few requirements. To mine mithril at all you will need to first get to level 55 Mining, at which point you learn how to mine the ore. Also, to Superheat the ores you'll be getting, you'll need to obtain level 43 in Magic. As well as a Magic requirement, you'll need the accompanying required level for smelting mithril; 50 Smithing. Finally, you'll need to have completed the The Grand Tree quest, which will grant you access to the mine that you'll be at.

 

 

 

Where do I go?

 

 

 

You'll be headed to the Grand Tree to access the mines. You should know how to get there already if you've done the quest. If not, then you've got a few options.

 

 

 

• 1)Walk northwest from Ardougne.
   
  2)Use a Games Necklace to go to Barbarian Assault and take the rock climb shortcut up the mountain. (37 Agility required)
   
  3)Use a Dueling Ring to go to the Dueling Arena, a Glory teleport to go to the castle in Al-Kharid, or a Home/Lumbridge teleport to go to Lumbridge; then take the Glider near the Gem Trader in Al-Kharid to the Grand Tree.

 

 

 

Once you're there, you're going to need to know the location of three things; the bank, the ladder, and the mine. Starting at the bank, here is a map to get to the Mine. (If you don't know how to get to the bank, it's on the second [American] floor of the Grand Tree, just to the west).

 

 

From the bank, go to the ladder and go down.

 

 

 

From the ground floor, take the trap door down into the mines.

 

 

 

From there, go just to the north of you and push through the vines to get into the mine.

 

 

 

What do I need to bring?

 

 

 

Well, for mining, you don't need much. But since you'll be Superheating the ores, you're going to need the runes required for it. It's advisable to bring weight reducing gear, such as Boots of Lightness and a Spotted/Spottier cape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's what you'll want. A Rune Pickaxe is highly advisable, as it will allow you to get your ores much quicker. A fire staff is highly recommended in the place of fire runes, as it frees one more inventory space and provides unlimited runes. I personally wear an Amulet of Glory to get the extra gems feature that it provides. Nature Runes are for the Superheat ore spell that you'll be casting. If you can't get either of those weight reducing items, you shouldn't worry; they're not completely necessary.

 

 

 

How do I do it then?

 

 

 

Well, it's rather simple, really. Here's the step-by-step.

 

 

 

1)When you enter the mine, head to the west and mine the two Mithril ores that spawn there.

 

 

 

 

2)Head to the far east portion of the mine and mine the two mithril ore located there.

 

 

 

 

3)Mine the coal on this side of the mine.

 

 

[hide=Coal Mining Path]For mining the coal, there is a technique that you can use to speed up the mining process. I've detailed the order in which you will want to mine the coal. "S" symbolizes the starting point, and "F" indicates the finish point. Once you've mined the eighth and final ore on the path, restart at the first coal ore (the mithril shouldn't have spawned yet) and work your way through. The path is excellent because it provides 8 ores; enough to superheat two bars.

4)Superheat the ores.

 

 

 

 

5)Repeat until your inventory is full.

 

 

 

 

Statistics

 

 

 

For every mithril bar that you superheat, you'll gain 280 experience points in Mining, 53 experience points in Magic, and 30 experience points in Smithing.

 

 

 

For every inventory of 18 bars that you make, you'll gain 5,040 experience points in Mining, 954 experience points in Magic, and 540 experience points in Smithing.

 

 

 

For every 100 mithril bars that you superheat, you'll gain 28,000 experience points in Mining, 5,300 experience points in Magic, and 3,000 experience points in Smithing.

 

 

Pros and Cons

 

 

 

Pros:

 

• Nobody is ever here!
   
  Quick and efficient; four mithril rocks and plenty of coal in one convenient spot.
   
  Easy Access, close to a bank.

 

 

 

Cons:

 

• Have to do a quest to get into it.
   
  Mithril ores are spaced in two distant extremes of the mine.

Good guide. Ill have to try it when I go mine some! Also put cash profits and that kind of stuff.

[colin666]

nice guide I'll try it after I finish getting 99wc. Maybe you could add mithril respawn times for when there are 500 people, 1000 people, 1500 people and 2000people in the world.

[tryto]

Nice guide, maybe ill try it when i get mems again. But, you only need 55 mining to mine mithm, but its really slow, so you should have 60.

[Dharockslayer]

Woah, nice guide, completely forgot about that place O.O

[Theoknight2]

moose!! your back! :o great guide i hate how you spread the word about this spot though. Fav mining spot ftw :cry:

[Master_Smither]

Ruin my spot why don't you :cry:

 

 

 

But nice 1 I do mithril/addy while down there. Bascially w/e ore is spawned.

 

 

 

I also use world 2 for faster spawns :-$

[Humus]

Cool! Good idea. I use to mine iron down there when I was trying to get 50 mining.

[phata_elise]

Good guide! Isn't mith lvl 55 mining though?

 

 

 

Anyway, i guess this works ok. However, the jatiszo mines have a great amount of mith rocks and are certainly worth considering. Avoiding the trolls down there isn't that much of a problem and a bank is pretty close by.

[Harrington]

Nice guide. I've used power mining before, I found the key was, patience.

 

 

 

On a side note, I find killing Ankous a method which is almost as quick at collecting mithril ore lol.

[sir_molk]

Smithing mith only requires 50 sithing.

[Harrington]

You should add the new Varrock Diary Reward armour to your inventory list. It gives you a slight chance of mining an extra ore.

[Lunar_Drifter]

I thought this was a good guide.. anyone else?

[lol000999]

You may also want to suggest using Penance gloves they give an extra -4kg.

[Owned_Nex]

Penance gloves are good for this(-4) also, ghostly robes look kewl, but dont reduce weight. Another thing, instead of all green dots, use other colors to show what connects to what.

Bump so some new acquaintances can find this thread :)
