Tink! Tink! Tink! My guide to Power mining

My guide to Power mining

 

Surprisingly, I still haven't found any guides about this yet. (I think) Btw, this is my first guide, so feedback appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

Requirements

 

 

 

20 mining

 

Started Lost Tribe Quest.

 

A bulls eye lantern, or any light source, but i would recommend a mining helm.

 

Any of your weight reducing equipment.

 

Any Varock armor if you have them.

 

 

 

Getting There

 

 

 

Getting there is quite simple, telly to Lumbrige. Then walk into the kitchen and climb down the trap door.

Get your pic axe and light source, then climb through the hole in the wall.

Go South until you see a goblin names Kazgar and ask him to take you to the mines.

The Mining

Ok, once you are there, there will be 12 silver and 9 iron veins.

 

 

 

This is the best place to mine silver.

This is the best place to mine iron.

Methods

 

 

 

There are really only three different types of methods down here.

 

 

 

1.) Mine 27 ores of iron, then sell them to Mistag. This is probably the quickest way to do it, but not quite the best way to utilize the entire mine.

 

 

 

2.) Mine 27 ores of silver, then sell them to Mistag. You get more exp then the iron, but this is slower. Remember, Mistage will buy silver ore for more then 4 times as much as iron!

 

 

 

3.) This method is quite complicated, but once you get the hang of it, its very simple. The i way i do it is go to the very north of the mine, and work your way down, mining all the veins you see. You will only end up with 21 ores, you can sell them to Mistag, or mine iron untill you have 27 ores.

 

 

 

Mistag

 

 

 

talktomistagzd7.png

 

 

 

When you have all the ores you want, Mistage should be located directly south of all the mines, or a little north of the weapons shop.

 

 

 

When your ready to sell, these would be prices he would buy for.

 

27 iron ore=376gp (13.9gp each)

 

27 silver ore = 1620gp (60gp each)

 

15 iron and 12 silver ore = 924gp ( 34.2gp each)

 

 

 

Not to shabby if your going for 99!

 

 

 

 

 

Pros and Cons

 

Hmm...well...the great thing about this method is that you can get quit bit more exp, you don't have you drop anything, and you still make a profit. Also, since there are barely any people down there, your only competition are the mining goblins (They can be killed for ores). The only bad thing is that is gets VERY BORING and lonely :wall: .

 

 

 

Well, if you have any suggestions on what I could improve please post, also since this is my first guide, please rate.

Wish I was P2P...But it seems like a good method. What is the xp/hour and the money/hour?

 

 

 

I would rate the guide 8.5/10. Great pics and descriptions. If you have a good number like at least 35k xp per hour then this is an awesome guide.

100% F2P

Yeah, guide isn't 100% done yet. When I have more free time I'll do all that. Too many tests!!! :-X :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

The only bad thing is that is gets VERY BORING and lonely :wall: .

Ever thought about marketing? ;)

 

 

 

Anyway, It's a nice idea. But you really have to give exp and profit rates for it to be useful. Without these numbers, we can't compare it to other methods.

 

 

 

Keep working at it!

 

 

 

:)

good guide but where is this guy?

 

Go South until you see a goblin names Kazgar and ask him to take you to the mines.

 

 

 

sorry if im blind but...

 

 

 

As for rating the guide its the first one on this site that has actually had something useful and not obvious.

 

9/10
