i'm 78 at the moment, and very unpatient. Every guide i've seen is:-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Mine iron, drop iron, powermine, get runners!"

 

 

 

It took me around 15 minutes to get 5k xp....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't mien granite cause i'm a non-member now... so has anybody got any suggestions to do? I want fast xp, but powermining is so damn boring! Any loations that are good?

Coal and mithril ore. Mine in the mining guild or in the coal mines

MERRYCHRISTMAS

Didn't say you had to! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just wantign a betetr suggestion, thats all..

If the power mining iron wasn't good,people would not suggest you that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power mining iron is the best way mate for an F2P...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck to 85 mining :thumbsup:

i'm 78 at the moment, and very unpatient...

 

 

 

Well, I got level 85 mining in F2P using the 3 iron rocks

 

 

 

along the north-west side of the Al-Kharid scorp mine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My technique was whack the south rock, whack the west rock, then whack

 

 

 

the north rock (no moving required), and then drop, drop, drop.

 

 

 

Spin south, and by that time, the first (south) rock has usually respawned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's very boring but probably the fastest that F2P can do.

 

 

 

It will take you, at most, 46554 rocks to reach your goal.

 

 

 

Use a busy world to lower the respawn times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since you can probably 1 hit the iron and are dropping it,

 

 

 

other players may be happy to get all of that free ore quickly.

 

 

 

Set yourself a goal of a few hours every day and stick to it.

 

 

 

Also, get yourself some headphones and a good CD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps

well, i did your method and this is what i found out although it may or may not be accurate but it's just my guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found out that the process of mining 3 rocks and dropping them while waiting for respawn takes abt 8 sec. i.e. mine 1st, mine 2nd, mine 3rd, drop,drop,drop, spin around.rock spawns = 8 seconds

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you'lll mine abt 21 to 22 iron per minute. Therefore you can mine 1260 to 1320 iron in an hour which is = 44100 to 46200xp per hour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For me, i am lvl 75 mining and i need at least 2million plus xp to lvl 85,

 

 

 

meaning i will need at least 48 hours of gaming-mining time to reach there..... :uhh:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever it is, good luck to ye all who wants to reach 85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PEACEZ~~~

...I found out that the process of mining 3 rocks and ... = 8 seconds

 

 

 

That sounds about right...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...i will need at least 48 hours of gaming-mining time to reach there.....

 

 

 

Yeah, it will take awhile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, when you get to 85, you get to look forward to being ganked by the

 

 

 

Runite ore PKers just waiting to relieve you of your hard earned prize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That what Jagex calls F2P "fun"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Members have another 4 Runite ore rocks that they can mine.

You need patience if you want mining lvl 85... There is no way that gets you to that level in a few hours.

Try goin to Dorgeshun Mines and power mining iron. U can sell the iron ore to goblins down there. Probably easier than dropping as u go.

Powermining is the fastest way already, if you can't stand it already, don't dream about rune :roll:

from his experience.. power mining can make your hand hurt abit

 

 

 

Use a busy world to lower the respawn times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i never knew they respawned faster in busier worlds :-k

well i think most things respawn faster in busier world to so-call "cater" to the needs of so many Scapers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ores, item spawns, monsters etc....

not many people mine in world 1 ....

ok ppllllllllll

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am 42.291558 hours of gaming-mining time away from Lvl 85~~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need 1,953,870 XP more!! Doesnt sound very encouraging huh???

 

 

 

:ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For now, i am abt 41 minutes away from Lvl 76~

 

 

 

:pray:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am gonna go get it now~!!

 

 

 

Dont give up, the rest of you Tippees! Go,go,go,go......... \

Since runescape is about fun, I hate powermining.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure, I want lvl 99 of everything, but the boredom that it takes to get there spoils the fun in the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my opinion, this is what couses a lot of the "i'm so bored I'm gonna quit" threads I see in general P2P. So get it gradually, use the mined ores for smelting/smithing and up your stats or earn some money. You most certainly get it slower, but I'm sure you won't quit half way of boredom or RSI.

i'm sure someone will pipe up - 42 hours, you can do that in 3 days AND Sleep!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But realistically, whenever i am leveling, i mine to the next lvl of either my mining or smithing. That way I can break up the mining (if i want to) with a little of something else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G

42 hours? you could do that in 3 days AND sleep!!!!! :twisted: lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Um, yes power mining is your best chance, well only chance. If you start to bank the ores you'll be there till 2010. Good luck with it

ive got a method that involves smithing and mage (55 to high alch) too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mine some coal and mith in the mining guild and use the spell that makes bars out of ores. next youll need a hammer with you go to the anvils on the othert side of the mine and make into mith 2h then alch the 2h rinse and repaeat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

good mage, smithing, and mining exp as long as you have the mage level and nats

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: just checked youre stats and it looks like you cant high alch or smith mith 2h so i guess this wont work for you sorry

Okay, i've read all the posts. I've found out this is the easiest was to powermine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mine 28

 

 

 

Drop 3

 

 

 

Mine 3

 

 

 

Drop 3

 

 

 

Mine 3 (Until a runner comes...) (If you have one)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With that, i got about 50k xp in an hour.

Right, i've got members now, an mining granite. Seems to be very fast!

Congrats!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may want to keep an open spot in your inventory, when mining,

 

 

 

for the occasional gemstone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Members have 6 runite ore rocks that they can use.

 

 

 

2 in deep wildy

 

 

 

2 in Hero's guild

 

 

 

1 under lava maze

 

 

 

1 in mourner's cave

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps
