Here are some abbreviations I used:
-ALK: Al Kharid
-RIM: Rimmington
-DWM: Dwarven Mines
-MIG: Mining Guild
Maps
I stole some maps from Tip.It and made clear were the mining spots just are. All P2P ways are tinted
red and all F2P ways are tinted
yellow.
DWM ? Falador
The way to the entrance from bank
The map of the Dungeon itself and in the south the MIG.
ALK
RIM ? Falador
The way for P2P?ers and F2P to RIM and back.
Lvl 1 ? 20
To start mining, there is no other way then mining Tin and Copper. There are 2 places you can do this and there are also 2 methods. The 2 Methods are explained at the end of the guide.
DWM: You can mine both Copper and Tin here.
Pro: Close to bank
Con: Lvl 14 and 32 Scorpions who can kill you fast if not high level?ed
Copper
Tin
RIMM: You can only mine Copper here
Pro: No scorpions
Con: Far from bank and usually very crowded
Copper
Lvl 21 - 70
After the boring Copper and Tin, we come to the fast and jollyfull iron. You can choose from 3 Places to mine now. They are explained in the following chapter.
DWM
Pro: Close to bank
Con: Lvl 14 and 32 Scorpions who can kill you fast if not high level?ed
ALK
Pro: Used to be crowded, not anymore!! ^^
Con: Lvl 14 Scorpions whom are dangerous to lower lvl?s
RIM
Pro: No scorpions
Con: Far from bank and usually very crowded
71 ? 99
You could go from mining lvl 60 in the mining guild, but there are 2 Con?s and no Pro?s. Coal mining goes slow and everyone steals you coal. Too many high lvl?s you must compeat too. There is only one place where you can Mine coal the best, The mining guild of course! You could go into the wild, but it?s far from bank so I don?t recommend that possibility. Well here follows the next Chapter of my guide?
MIG - Coal
Pro: Many coal blocks and you can also mine 5 blocks of mith in there! And you can go to DWM to mine some addy too.
Con: Usually crowded in F2P, For P2P I recommend busy worlds like 53, 54 or 2.
MIG ? Mith
MIG <-> DWM ?Addy
ALK ? Addy
If you want to mine some addy in a less crowded place, you can always go to the Al Kharid mines and mine there. Just change worlds when you mined the addy.
Pro: Almost no one goes to the place. P2P: you can always take duel ring and teleport to the Duel arena to bank there and get back quickly.
Con: Far from bank
The 2 Methods
Well, here i'll explain the 2 Methods of mining, Dropping, and Holding.
1. Dropping Method (Speedmining)
The name says it all, You just drop the ores.
Pro: Fast mining EXP, No boring bank-running
Con: No Smithing EXP, No money!
Recommended for: [
Tin and
Copper]
[Iron up to lvl 41]
2. Holding Method
Here too, the name says everything, you just hold on to your ores and bank them
Pro: Much money after a while, Smithing EXP
Con: Slower, Boring bank-running what makes you lose the excitement for getting 99 mining
Tips & Tricks
1. If you wear a charged glory, you have more chance on gettin a gem. It's great, but not when you are Speedmining.
2. A mining helmet Does noet make you mine better or faster!! It's just a light source that doesnt take an inventory spot...
3. You can't use iron runners anymore wih the new GE update!!
