I was wondering were the best place to mine and bank coal on a free to play world was.

 

 

 

I also would like to know were the best place to mine and bank iron is.

Closest and probably safest place would be the mining guild. But it's way over-crowded there. If you feeling you want to get coal at any cost, and as fast as possible. The skeleton in around level ~10-16 wilderness would be your number 1 choice.

 

 

 

Cons: Pkers, and skeletons.

 

Pro's: Relatively close to a bank, and almost no other miners there. 8-)

 

 

 

Edit: As for iron, south-west of varrok is pretty much the only good place.

relativly close to what bank and with 62 combat will the skeletons be a problem?

 

 

 

I have 52 mining so no guild

It's relativly close to edgeville's bank, less then a minutes good run away. And the skeletons are nothing hard. They shouldn't be a problem, my suggestion would be just run in there with a bronze pick-axe and get a feel for it.

bronze would take ages wouldnt it?

 

 

 

i have rune should i take that or will i be pked

but if you only brought a rune pickaxe and maybe a few food, the only thing you would loose would be ores...

what i do is mine in wild but bring some food not a lot because some times i get attacked so i run back eating :D it worked twice

ok so if i dont wear armor i can take my rune than ill just lose the ore not pic?

i think the best place is the mining guild. it is really close to the bank and every other ore except rune is right there for you to use. then you can maximize your space for ores and not worry about being pked.

take your pickaxe and wear a rune plate and leggs, wont lose anything when you get pked

captindeath if you were have read all posts i dont have the lvl for guild

Just go with a rune pick axe. If you do get pk'd you wont drop it anyway, and with a bronze you'd just manage to drop one less coal if you die.

 

 

 

Being so shallow into the wilderness anyway, if you get attacked, you'd likely have the prayer and health to make a break into low enough wildly to not die anyway.

However, there is a chance of getting skulled if you accidently hit a player instead of rock. So be careful.

 

 

 

PKers can't be so powerful since they are F2P like you. But still, rune is the only good armour for F2Pers. And you wouldn't wanna lose that. :shame:

Amen to that brother you may wanna make a few steel plates, less damage from skellies and a bit of armor should you get attacked. And they're cheap. But yeah, I do recommend a rune pick, the quicker you get in and get out, the less chance of dieing. Just watch for people trying to place themselves between rocks and you so you hit them, I've seen this happen before.
