Preparation
Throughout the whole leveling process, it is recommended to have Gem Gloves on you with charges. It will provide a stream of gems that you can sell for profit.
Keep Emeralds for
Emerald Bolts and
Diamonds for
Diamond Luck potions.
If you don't have money to buy Gem Gloves, either sell
Mithril Ore, smelt and sell
Gold Bars, or get money through the
Fishing money-making method.
It is also recommended to use any Mastery Pool experience to increase the Mastery level of nodes that you're about to mine to level 30. The Mastery level of a node increases the Rock HP, greatly reducing the waiting time for the note to respawn because the nodes will have increasingly larger respawn times the higher you level. Later, it is more beneficial to save the pool experience for the Mastery pool checkpoint bonuses.
Training
Level 1-15: Mine either Tin Ore or
Copper Ore. Ideally in equal amounts so you later smelt
Bronze Bars from them.
Level 15-30: Iron Ore.
Level 30-50: Coal Ore. Don't sell it because you will need a lot of it for
Smithing.
Level 50-70: Mithril Ore.
Level 70-80: Adamantite Ore.
Level 80-99: Runite Ore.
