Mining and banking

[tigershelby2]

So, im looking to train my mining and eventually my smithing. I havent touched these skills in forever, and I was wondering where the best place would be to mine and bank coal. Last time i did this was in F2p and in the mining guild, so ya... :unsure:

[ilovecuttingyews]

I don't know, as I haven't been P2P since free trade, but I would assume that the mining guild there isn't too full so you could do it there. Also, another good place would be the Dwarven Mines resource dungeon. There's ~10ish coal rocks and a deposit box. Another place that comes to mind would be the coal carts by Seers. As I've said, I'm not P2P so I don't know how full they are, but those are the only places that come to mind.

 

Or, as an alternate option you could mine iron ore in the Dwarven Mines and then bank in the resource dungeon which should be more exp/h as well as more gp/h than coal. Another option would be to power mine. Then once you get 77 you can mine concentrated coal in the living rock caverns.

Sounds good to me, though like i said, im mining to work on the smithing in the future, not for the profit. Also, if there is a deposit box close, is it worth it to use urns? lSay get 20ish urns and just bank a little more?

If you've done the seers tasks then coal trucks is gonna be the best bet till u can do lrc. i tend to use a bob and no urns, and have a cammy tele in your inv for a quick way back once the trucks and your inv are full.

They are more or less deserted, not sure if the trucks are too complicated for bots or what O_o

Unless this comment was aimed at the idea of dropping the ores for power mining, Banking the ores (iron) and buying others (coal) is the same idea as mining the coal and banking it.

You lose the option of selling the coal by using it yourself, so it may be easier on the mind (unless you prefer mining one ore over the other) to mine the iron, sell it on the grand exchange and then buy back the coal that you would have mined in the time taken to get the iron.

Not to jack the thread, but why not use urns? Won't they boost experience?

The extra bank runs (seeing as you lose 1 inv per urn and many people start with ~20) may or may not actually decrease exp rates. I don't know because I haven't tested it but I would personally not bother.

This, I haven't really used mining urns, just prayer. The loss of inventory space just drags it out.

Note: That my last post was assuming that you're using a deposit box and not an actual bank. If you are say, mining in the mining guild, it is probably worth while to use 1 or 2 urns per inv since you'll be able to restock when you bank your coal. Don't know why I didn't think of that....

If its just a deposit box you wouldnt be able to access your entire bank, just move stuff from your inv to your bank

That's what I mean. If you're in the mining guild you'll most likely be banking at Fally East bank so you can withdraw urns every trip, but if you're at the resource dungeon or the coal trucks the space taken up by the urns is not worth the extra time it takes to deposit every few owes mined.

If I were you I'd just mine iron ores at dwarf mine and bank em in the deposit box in the resource dung. You'll get alot of iron at a good pace and once you have a large amount you can sell a part of it to buy coal ores.

You'll get alot more XP doing this and in the end you can still smelt/smith. Although tbh I would sell all the iron ores of and just buy gold ores to raise smithing (goldsmithing gauntlets). Since your crafting is low too, you can then make gold bracelets and alch or sell those again to regain cash :)

I've been using Mining urns (the highest level F2P has) and banking iron at the Dwarven Mine resource dungeon deposit box. With 10 urns (the max you can have full at any one time) in my inv it really doesn't slow things down. It takes about 30 minutes to fill them, and then I just send them away and run to the bank for more. The 3250xp 10 urns give more than makes up for the time to go to the bank.

Urns up your exp/hr by almost 20% so unless you're taking 10+ minutes to bank (at which point you have other issues) they are worth using.
