Brimhaven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring Cammy tele, money (roughly 10k per 1k gold ore), and pick. Charter a ship from Catherby to Brimhaven. Go west, then northeast to the mine. After you mined teleport to Cammy and bank in Catherby. Repeat. :D

3) Where is the best place to mine gold?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Northwest of Brimhaven, and just southwest of the wooden outpost used to get to the realm of the Fisher King during the Holy Grail quest, there are 10 gold ore spawns in the shape of a letter ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅC̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

the arzinian mines (with ring of charos(a)) is the best place to mine gold. The dwarf wont take that much gold ores and you can stay there a while just mining. there is like 140 gold ores/vains.

Agreed.

 

 

 

For best effect, don't wear a glory, it causes gem drops.

 

 

 

Also consider getting goldsmithing gauntlets from family crest. You can pot to 59 magic for that last blast spell

Gah! Take this!

 

 

 

4) Why is mining at Brimhaven better than mining in ®zinia?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you mine in ®zinia a full load is 27 ores, you need to save one space for the golden helmet. Out of those 27 ores the dwarven boatman will take 3. So you will end up with only 24 ores. If you are a low-level smith, this isn't a big deal. But at high levels, the differences are staggering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's say you have level 91 smithing. For you to get to 92, you need to mine 10,933 ores. If you mine in ®zinia you will actually have to mine a total of 12,300 ores to make up for the 3 that the dwarven boatman takes away from each load. That's an extra 1,367 ores you'd have to mine... do you really want to mine an extra 1,367 ores?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's say you're a level 91 smith who wants to at least get to 98 smithing. To get there you need to mine 105,407 ores. If you do all this in ®zinia you will need to mine 118,583 ores instead. That's an extra 13,176 ores you'd have to mine. You will lose 740,491.2 smithing exp and 395,280 crafting exp. That's a loss of over 1 million worth of exp, it literally just disappears into thin air. If you're rich, you can basically just buy exp and none of this matters. But I am not rich, so I can't afford to buy ores or bars. And I would hate to lose over a million exp points.

Those quotes were taken from the official Runescape forums, on a Smithing guide wrote by a level 98 Miner, 96 Smither, and 89 Crafter.

 

 

 

I would trust his experience.
