LVL 1-15

If you?re a lower level, the best thing to do is to start out with mining. In the beginning, I suggest that you mine 389 tin and 389 copper and you save this in your bank. Once you achieve this, you will be a high enough level to mine iron. I also suggest that you do Doric?s quest which will give you a head start in this guide.

LVL 15-30

From here, you are going to need to have a lot of patience, because this is where you will be mining for the next 50 LEVELS! Although mining iron can be a tedious task, it will benefit you greatly. The reason that I do not suggest mining coal at level 30 or anywhere after that is because coal is a very profitable business and many very high level players like the profit. You will have a very hard time getting a full inventory due to competition. Once you are a level 55 to 65 mining, I suggest that now you mine coal. Or for better experience, you can try mining for mithril ore at this point. If you banked all the iron, you should have about 12,772 iron. That?s worth 1,277,100 gp!! But if you want to make a lot more money, I suggest that you wait and keep that iron in your bank.

In between, you should buy the pickaxes that you can wield because this will help you out a lot! Buy a rune pickaxe from Nurmof. Otherwise, buy it from other players in just about every bank but if I were you, I would just buy it from Nurmof just to save time. If you buy it from Nurmof, then you should have about 12,452 iron left(if you had to sell your iron). You could also power mine ore which just means to drop the ore that you mine. Do this if you want to be able to get to the required level to 1 hit coal or mine other ores such as gold, mithril, addy, or the granddaddy of them all. RUNE. If you can make it to rune then you will be making millions of gp just for mining. For example, one runite ore will sell for 12,000 gp.

It will take about 12-24 minutes for it to respawn. If you go from world to world, then you will be able to mine a full inventory in roughly 30 minutes(or less). 12,0000 gp times 28(for each ore in each inventory slot) is 336,000 gp. You can make 1 mil in an hour and a half! Otherwise, you can keep on mining coal ore because it will get you lots of money. Once you get to level 60, you should be able to get into the mining guild and mine the rocks there. If you are going to mine coal anywhere it should be there. If you want to mine coal at a lower level like 30, I suggest you go to 1 of 2 places.

The first place is in the shortcut to Edgeville dungeon on the other side of the river of Barbarian village. You will need a brass key to get in. Once you get in, you will see Hill Giants and skeletons. Follow the skeletons until you reach the hobgoblins. When you get past the hobgoblins, you should see all the ores, there are three iron, three silver, six coal, two tin, two copper, one mithril, and two adamantite ores OR, you could go to the Dwaren Mines and mine iron and coal there. The dwarves mines , by itself, has 9 iron rocks and 11 coal rocks-besides the mining guild. At this point, if you need to get to level 65, keep on mining.

Once you get to level 65, You can either, (1). Sell your iron and keep the money that you would get (if you want to make serious money, I won?t suggest this,) or (2) is that you can stop mining iron and mine twice as much coal for the next part of the guide, which is 25,544 coal. This will get you to a level 76 mining level so you can mine adamantite. If doing all this work is too boring for you, just wait until the next guide and see if the amount of money you can make will change your mind! Also, if you still think you couldn?t possibly do this, just mine 100 iron and 200 coal and wait for the next part of the guide. If you would like to keep on going by mining other ores, then you can also mine gold, which sells for 350 to 400 ea, mithril ore, which sells for 300 to 400 ea, adamantite ore, which sell about 1k ea, or Rune? 12- 15k. Otherwise, the next part of the guide will put the mining guide into good use and make all this mining worth while!

how do u power mine do uhave to download it?
#2 by anonyma, Apr 26, 2007
My, no... You simply click on the rock, once, not twice, until a few brown pixels appear where your inventory should be. After that, right-click on the brown pixels, that are called "iron ore". Move the white thing on your screen (use the plastic thing in real life on a pad)which is called a cursor. After you get the hang of it, point the iron ore with the cursor, and click on the far right button of your plastic thing, which is called a mouse.move the mouse and click on the pixels that say "Drop Iron ore". You have powermined an ore!
Good guide =)
