Runescape Mining Guide

by Connor R, Jan 29, 2007

This is a guide to get from level 1 mining all the way to level 99!

First make a runescape account by going to runescape.com, then once you have made an account go through the tutorial and then once you are on the mainland of runescape look on a map to find your way to FALADOR and then go to the EAST BANK. Once you are at the east bank then ask someone to tell you where the dwarven mines are. And make sure you have a bronze pick axe.

0-20 level

Take your bronze pick axe and go into the dwarven mines. Then look for some tin. It is gray like in the tutorial. Weild your pick axe and then mine 28 of the tin ore. Now go back to the FALADOR EAST BANK. Bank all of your tin and go back to where you were in the mines. Now look for copper and mine 28 of that and bank it. Keep doing that until u have 500 of each then you will have at least level 20 mining.

21-30

At level 21 invest in a mithril pick axe and ask some high level players where to find nurmof the dwarf because he sells the different picks or buy one from another player. Now find some iron ore and mine that and bank it until you get lvl 30

31-60

I know its a long gap but it is well worth it. Find a good spot that you know where this is a good amount of iron rocks and mine there and just mine it and drop it (mine a full and then drop it: repeat). until level 60

61-85

You will now want to have a rune pick and be mining in the mining guild ( if you dont know where is then just ask) Now mine all the coal you can and keep banking it and repeating. This will take about 90k coal but don't feel bad because once you get to lvl 70 it goes very very smoothly.

86-99

Congrats! you got to level 86 now just either mine coal or mine iron and drop it or mine rune ore for money and you could sell it for 10k-12k each ore! Thats 1.1m every 100 rune ore! Not that bad. Getting to level 99 is just so mining everything will be smoother so if you want to stop at 85 thats fine. Happy mining!

Tips

Smith all of the ore you got instead of dropping and you could be looking at a very very high smithing to go along with your high mining.

#16 by some person, May 1, 2007

i have 85 mining im going for 99 1/4 of the way there
this guide dosent really help its kinda uncorrected/not-detailed , mining granite is the fastest way to 99

#17 by shit mouth, Jul 19, 2007

hmm..i dunno, it beggins quite good but ends as it would bump in a tree, put a lil more details from 60-99 and it would be awsome. btw i got mining lvl from 50-60 in a few days i think by power mining iron. From 60 i mined 3k coal and 2k iron, those i banked. from 65 to 70 i powermined like 5k-6k coal lol it does get boring btw..-_-

#18 by i like to mine, Jul 19, 2007

ur right about the smoothness of mining on lvl 70 i like this guide but i think u should make it only to 85. 85 is enough for anybody on runescape.

#19 by poopy poopy, Aug 8, 2007

this guide was pretty good i got mine to 93

#20 by Akane, Nov 23, 2007

^^" nice guide, but it could have been better. its going to take forever to reach by doing this.

#21 by Zezima, Dec 16, 2007

i would like to say that i used this guide and i have 99 mining dont i.. exactly. it took me 3 weeks from 51 for 99.

so every 1 dont say this guide sucks or ull regret it.

#22 by teza g, Dec 19, 2007

#23 by zezima, Dec 20, 2007

#24 by lol, Dec 20, 2007

guide stinks

your probably lv 20 or less mining.

#25 by Exodus122, Dec 26, 2007

Pretty good but I'm pretty sure iron is the fastest.

Doing all these steps for mining will take forever. Just visit my web site rsmoneyandmore.piczo.com for ores, money, armor, and more!

#28 by acid1259, Feb 4, 2008

Does anyone really think thats Zezima?

I dont,but it could do but also um idk...ummm...well the guides ok but could have more detail.

P.S.Thats my real rs name.

#29 by brandon, Feb 4, 2008

sweet i'm ganna have to try this

#30 by bddd11, Feb 12, 2008

I just wanted to say that I think the best way to lv mining for a non member is to power mine iron. Also I think the best way for non mem miner lvs 40-60 is to mine gold(I mined 5000 gold and sold it for 2.5 mil, although it took me a very long time it was worth it in the end). Gold sells for about 490gp a ore.

My Runescape usuer name is bddd11 ADD ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(my combat lv is 75 and want to join a professional non-noob clan)

#31 by Rusty ru2, Feb 17, 2008

This is the worst guide ive ever seen...even at lvle 70 mining, u can mine gold at the crafting guild just as fast as coal and u cas sell it for 500ea at the GE

#32 by ben dover, Feb 23, 2008

Is there an easier way to drop iron rather than dropping each one by right clicking and pressing drop. Its easy to mine but takes for ever to drop XD

#33 by brad, Mar 3, 2008

omg i dont like this guide like i want like lv 99 mining but i need money and u shouled say ok mine iron drop all 100k of them dont bank ull just drop 1mil no!!!!!! god just mine like caol than mine iron than smelt and keep doing it than sell steel bars and make money doin that and exp smelting u dontwant 99 mining and like 25 smelting

#34 by omg, Mar 4, 2008

noob

#35 by Jo mama, Mar 7, 2008

dude you should mine copper instead of tin. copper sells for like 50-60 in the GE.

#36 by taking 4ever, Mar 10, 2008

thats a good guide but....would take 4ever....but doesnt it go for all non members???

#37 by Daentjevb, Mar 13, 2008

Awesome this guide ive measured it and between lvl 32 and 33 was exactly 5 minutes and 39 seconds!! Im going back to mining now;)

#38 by eul's scepter, Mar 24, 2008

Indeed a basic guide, but very effective for f2p. If u want to have 99 mining, 2 things r only needed: Passion and determination. If u don't have one of these things, then u won't succeed at ur goal. Even if takes months 2 achieve it, but the payoff is really good. Nice guide ^^

#39 by Leason, Mar 30, 2008

Powermining iron is good, but if you have done lost tribe, go to mines in dorgeshuun caves under Lumbridge Castle. Theres loads of iron ore rocks here, and its usually empty, also you can sell your invo to Mistag for 350gp ish, so you dont have to spend time to drop it. Doing this I got from 38 to 50 mining in 2 hours

#40 by U R all idiots, Apr 3, 2008

stop being ze idiot ye already r

1-20 rune ess. not kidding. it mines much faster than copper or tin
-benefit: u can look at other sites while ur noob is mining
30-40
-iron. bank it if u are smart. otherwise drop
40-55
-gold or coal. this makes alot of money especially gold.its a good idea 2 bank. and if u have done the knights sword /or ur already about lvl 30 than make steel from coal (use the iron u saved with it unless ofcourse u are an idiot)

55-85
coal is a good idea. until lvl 60, just mine that. at lvl 60 mine mith (save dat coal!). if ur smith is lvl 50(and have the coal), make stuff for xp or sell otherwise. u can mine addy if u want but think about these things:

-the wildi mine is really far away from bank and
reverants/other monsters/especially reverants like eating addy ore(jokes... they like eating ppl with high mining lvls!)

-the mine in lumb swamp has only 3 hard addy rock,
it respawns reeaaaaaallllly slowly, but is less
dangerous (unless goblins pose a threat to u)
and is far away from bank

85+
do what u want.noob.

#41 by woot woot, Apr 3, 2008

i agree with U R all idiots

except for the fact that powermining should be mining only

try smithing after u have reached ur goal and dont want to sell ur ore that u had from the bank

Ben is an idiot. ofcourse, i do believe ppl that are pretending to be zezima are also challenged in intellegence

#42 by 134879, Apr 9, 2008

this is so freaky. This guide sucks to hell. WTF?

#43 by evil devil z, Apr 22, 2008

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yor all noobs.
i no the real way how 2 make muny.
its not hard 2 find out.
duh.
i dont really have a thukin clue wot yor on about.
but its the most idiotic conversation eva.

#44 by ¢, May 3, 2008

My god, most of your have an IQ of around 10.
Is it so hard to type out your damn words? On topic, no this guide isn\'t the FASTEST way to gain mining levels.

The fastest way is to powermine granite. Case closed.
If you do want some cash along the way, this guide isn\'t bad to follow. Also take in mind of the date of this guide. Jan of 2007.

#45 by Spartan4569, May 8, 2008

This guide is exactly right! i'm getting 99 mining!!!!!

#46 by wow sad, May 19, 2008

nub

#47 by Average, May 22, 2008

its pretty average imo becasuse a)its not detailed b)there are TWO ways to get from 60-99 mining im f2p so i do powermining iron its best imo but from money AND experience point coal in mining guild is best as for mems idk

#48 by oww fulla rangi whetu, Jun 3, 2008

this guide is alright at the start but then theres massive gaps which need filling..bad for the higher lvls

#49 by crazy jay115, Jun 4, 2008

ppl who say it sucks are dumb and probly havn\'t treid it or keep taking a break from mining...

also it is a good way to make money for the ppl who say it isnt. so pretty much good guide dumb comments.
oh and ppl r saying mine granite but thats for members
and U R all idiots sed mine rune ess at mining lvl 1-20 wtf
i might try to get a party hat with this |\/\/\/|

#56 by ????????, Jun 17, 2008

This guide is straight forward, which is good. However, it could use more detail like some people have already stated.

To all you haters, nobody cares if you like the guide or not, if you don\'t like it, you can do two things. One, shut the hell up and go away. Two, tell the maker how he can make the guide better.

To the people who pose as Zezima, QUIT! Zezima does not exist, he\'s a character created by the makers of RS for two purposes maybe more.
1. To give people someone to look up to in game
2. Challenge, to keep us players on the competition to the top.
The makers take turns playing him, which is why Zezima is considered in the UnG as non existent because he\'s not one person but many.

Anyways, tata for now little players.

#64 by h3ll h0und22, Jul 8, 2008

I've calculated all the experiance gainage out from powermining iron. I've come up with the base calculation of 250 exp per minute.
(not literally) but its to calculate how long it will take to get how much exp u need.

(ex. "i need 10K exp to lvl(10K exp/250Exp per minute)

40 minutes of powermining iron needed for 10K exp

I play runescape every day for about 1hr and 45 Minutes a day I gain about 26.250 exp per day, if i nonstop powermine for the whole time period i get on. (never actually totally committed be4 but based on me doing it for an hr. thats how much i'd get)
