=== Mining → Runecrafting & Smithing === | |||
This | This method opens up the option to train {{Skill|Smithing}} and {{Skill|Runecrafting}} after {{Skill|Mining}} training has been completed. The key here is to get {{GP|500000}} to purchase {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} to provide a steady source of [[Mining#Gems|gems]] and therefore passive income while Mining. Some sort of [[Money Making]] method is advised to fund the initial purchase of gloves. If in need of money, the gems gained from using {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} can be sold to fund the repurchase of gloves, however note that it is recommended to at least keep any {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} as they are useful in the late game for {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|notext=true}} [[Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck potions]]. | ||
When first starting with Mining, it is recommended to use any [[Mastery#The Mastery Pool|Mastery Pool]] experience to increase the [[Mastery]] level of rock(s) that are currently being mined (or rocks that will soon be mined) to around level 30-40. This is because each [[Mastery]] level increases the [[Mining#Rock HP|Rock HP]], greatly reducing the amount of time spent waiting for rocks to respawn while Mining (as respawning will occur less frequently). In the later levels, it is more beneficial to save pool experience for the [[Mining#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]] bonuses. | |||
==== | ==== Level 1-15: Copper/Tin Ore ==== | ||
Mine | Mine either {{ItemIcon|Tin Ore}} or {{ItemIcon|Copper Ore}}. Ideally, an equal amount of tin and copper will be mined in order to create {{ItemIcon|Bronze Bar|Bronze Bars}} for training {{Skill|Smithing}} later. | ||
==== | ==== Level 15-30: Iron Ore ==== | ||
Mine | Mine {{ItemIcon|Iron Ore}} until you unlock {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}}. | ||
==== | ==== Level 30-50: Coal Ore ==== | ||
Mine {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} until you unlock {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}. Any {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} mined will be needed for {{Skill|Smithing}} training later. | |||
==== Level 50-99: Mithril Ore ==== | |||
From here on it is recommended to mine {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}} with {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} equipped all the way until {{SkillReq|Mining|99}}. This is because: | |||
* Mithril is key for {{Skill|Smithing}} training, consuming significantly less {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} per bar than higher tier bars | |||
* The rock respawn time of {{ItemIcon|Runite Ore}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} (60 seconds and 120 seconds respectively) is significantly higher than that for {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}} (20 seconds), which harms the rate of experience gained | |||
* The required {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} necessary to smelt the large amount of {{ItemIcon|Mithril Bar|Mithril Bars}} needed later will be obtained once {{SkillReq|Mining|99}} has been reached, taking advantage of the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} perk | |||
Once 99 Mining is achieved, the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} becomes available for purchase from the [[Shop#Skillcapes|Shop]]. When equipped, this provides 1 extra {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} for each ore mined. | |||
===== 99 Coal ore | ==== Level 99: Rune Essence ==== | ||
After | With the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} equipped you have to mine about 330,000 {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} for {{SkillReq|Runecrafting|99}}. {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} do not work with {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}, therefore if affordable the {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are a good alternative to speed up the process. | ||
==== Level 99: Coal ore ==== | |||
After mining {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}, about 235,000 {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} will still be needed. Equipping {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} while mining this is recommended. | |||
