- Best place to mine Iron ore (Banking) -

Featured Replies

Hey, I want to get 99 mining, and iron ore is the best method, however, I would like to make some money so I will be banking it.

 

 

 

I need a place which is:

 

 

 

- Preferablly F2P

 

- Close to a bank

 

- Not very crowded

 

- Quite a lot of rocks.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, I look forward to your replys. <3:

Elaborate please? Where in Varrock and where in Yanille.. :-k

If you're a non-member, Southeast varrock is best, but gets crowded at times. It says preferably f2p... well if you are a member, I'm sure the crowd wouldn't be an issue, but if you're f2p and SE varrock is crowded, try southwest varrock. Only two rocks, but similar banking time and much more peaceful in my opinion.

I guess cause I never saw the need. I also felt that if I moved into the version of the game that was always changing that it would in some way invalidate the work that I had already put into my account.

True, but most people know about Varrock east, so there are other miners with a decent level. I'm not talking about the steel pick miners. Have you ever mined there? Usually there's a miner with 50-60 mining with rune pick taking the two rocks (where they don't have to move), and the smart high level miner would instead take the three at the top. Therefore, the other miner often gets the rock that overlaps, and you have to click a lot more using this method, so it can just be easier to mine at Varrock west. Just pointing that out, I still think Varrock east is better.

 

 

 

Good Luck.

Past level 60 or so, you'll be owning most varrok miners and they'll usually leave after saying "go mine something better" or "cmon can i have one rock."

 

 

 

It's a dog eat dog world...

 

 

 

Don't go to yanille by the way. it's starting to get crowded, and you'll actually get some occasional competition there.

Varrock east it is then, I guess! Thanks everyone.

From lvl 85 and up you can start to power mine coal (im lvl 88 and it really goes quite fast). If you find a world without many people, the mining guild is a great place. But also look into the skeleton mine in wild. Its farther away from bank, but no competition.
