Hey guys, my mining level is only 52 and i find it pretty painful in general to do. So im hoping someone can give me some advice about the best way to get to 60 without doing iron and a million clicks to drop the full inv everytime?

 

Any advice is welcome!

 

Thanks guys!

Granite and dropping it a hundred thousand times? Beats me.

I'd do iron until 70, using any group of 3 rocks, i.e. Ardougne or Piscatoris.

 

Also, fill your inventory with junk, saving the 3 vertical places in the bottom left. You should mine 3 at a time then drop in quick succession. With practice, you should be able to drop 3x faster than usual.

First: are you F2p or P2p?

 

Without knowing that I would recommend mining iron and use the resource dungeon for the deposit box.

That way you'll have some money to show for your "pain".

Regardless of whether or not you're F2P or P2P, use the resource dungeon Jaffy mentioned above. I made ~3.5m from 60 to 70 with this method, only took about 16-17 hours as well.

Don't mine for money. It's not worth it, not even at rune.

well i want to level it but gather some money aswel..

 

Mining the iron the way I described in my above post or mining coal+mithril and superheating as you do would probably be decent.

Here's another :thumbup:

The opportunity cost of slow exp methods that profit slightly far outweighs the modest monetary gain. See it like mowing lawns for 5 bucks an hour to get strong as opposed to going to a gym and working at 15 bucks an hour at a desk job.

Seriously? Seriously?

 

The fastest xp is granite, and anything other than that is a dramatic loss of xp. Banking iron is what, like 40k xp/hour and 250k gp/hour max?

 

You lose a good 15k xp per hour for a nominal amount of cash.

For some people, 250k/hr is ALOT. Especially considering he's less then 60 mining my guess is he doesn't have alot of cash, or the skills required to make large sums of $/hr.

 

That being said, banking iron at the resource dungeon is faster then dropping it for some people, and in F2P that's the best option.

The fastest xp is concentrated gold.

Anyway, I disagree with the statement that "mining for money is a waste", because it simply isn't, especially not for lower leveled players.

Runite mining also has been one of the fastest money-making methods in F2p for a long time.

 

As for P2p, there is absolutely no reason why someone should grind his way through the "most efficient methods money-wise". <_<

This is a game, not a list of tasks to be completed as fast as possible.

 

 

 

 

Also, I would like to see the person who could achieve this without a supply of money:

Even with no stats you can easily make 400k+/hour.

Trolololol

 

First, which is a bigger number: 55,000 or 65,000? Yes, 65k is bigger than 55k, so granite is more xp then conc gold.

 

Second, the fastest xp is through powermining, and you can earn a lot more money in the time you save.

 

Third, he isn't f2p.

 

Fourth, he isn't anywhere near 85 mining yet, and by the time he is he'll probably have opened up better money making methods.

 

Fifth, he hates mining, so he should try to get it done asap.

 

Sixth, he wants the best way to level 60 from level 52. That is to powermine iron in piscatoris/Ardougne and use the drop pattern I illustrated earlier.

Just throwing it out here, 20 bucks says if he hates mining, he'll hate dropping it as well. Frankly, with the resource dungeon I'd probably bank it because it's (imo) too much of a pain to drop it. I know I'D rather train a skill in a more slow, afk'able way then train something very fast with lots of clicking. I.E. mining iron and dropping it as opposed to banking....

Although I agree that the profit point is probably moot.

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Don't forget it's also much less of a hassle just banking it in stead of dropping.

He says mining is painful in general, which says to me that he hates banking too, which is why he should powermine, because it gets it over with quicker.

 

As been raised by others, dropping is more hassle than quick banking, and the OP asked for a method without dropping.

 

To get back to concentrated gold: less clicking, less paying attention, comparable xp in mining to granite (I believe I get around 60k/hr when semi-afk mining). Add the magic and smithing xp from superheating and there is no need to even consider granite as that demands constant paying attention and clicking (and can offer less overall xp).

 

Also, there is no need to attempt to flame me. Seeing how the "best" methods always are opinions, all you have to do is to agree to disagree. That's fine, but there's no need to be rude.

 

Oh, and while we're on the topic of stupid rhetorical questions, I appear the only one with 99 mining here (aside from izakiwi2), so who do you think has more experience with the skill?

 

 

 

 

To get back on topic, as izakiwi2 noted, star hunting is great for variety, and since you're P2p you might want to use Varrock armour from the Varrock Achievement Diary for faster ores.

Might as well *not* use varrock armor as double ores don't give double xp.

 

I believe you do get xp for every ore you recieve.
