===Summary===
The most efficient training method depends on alot of things. <br>
 
# Mine 60.000 {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}.
# Get {{SkillReq|Mining|99}}.
# Mine {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} or {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} with {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} to get 240.000 {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}}.
# Make sure to always have {{ItemIcon|Smithing Gloves}} on at all times, if you are rich you can buy 211 gloves already.
# Smith all your Mithril into {{ItemIcon|Mithril Bar}}s. [NOTE: If you have limited funds, do not wear Smithing Gloves for this step]
# Smith all the Bars into {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|Mithril Platebodies}} while wearing Smithing Gloves.
# Sell the Platebodiess for a total loss of {{GP|10.7}}m.
 
After following these steps, you should have enough XP to reach {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}}.
 
===Detailed Guide===
The most efficient training method depends on a lot of things.
 
What is your goal? Is it to get to 99 as fast as possible, or is it to prepare for the future? How are you gonna get your materials? What mining level are you?
What is your goal? Is it to get to 99 as fast as possible, or is it to prepare for the future? How are you gonna get your materials? What mining level are you?
It is far faster to get your materials from mining opposed to killing monsters. <br>
 
The main problem you are gonna get to is the [[Coal Ore]] requirement. (This guide is also assuming that you aren't using superheat Alt. Magic spell to heat your ores into bars). <br>
It is far faster to get your materials from mining rather killing monsters.
If you haven't started mining yet, this is the route I would advice you. <br>
 
Start mining and just mine the highest ore untill you reach Mithril. <br>
This guide assumes that you are smelting your bars using the Smithing skill rather than using the {{Icon|type=spell|Superheat IV}} {{Skill|Alt. Magic}} spell, which means your primary resource bottleneck will be {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}}
If you are activly playing, switching from a depleted ore to the 2nd highest ore you can mine while your highest ore is dead will speed up your mining exp. But that is way more actively play. <br>
 
When you get to Mithril. Mine around 60.000 ores. <br>
==== Mining Strategy ====
Get your mining to 99 by just mining the highest lvl ore you can. <br>
If you haven't started mining yet, this is the route I would advise you take:
When you get to 99 mining, buy the [[Mining Skillcape]], which will give you 1 [[Coal Ore]] for every mining action you do.<br>
 
For each [[Mithril Bar]], you need 1 [[Mithril Ore]] and 4 [[Coal Ore]].<br>
Start mining and just mine the highest ore until you reach Mithril. If you are actively playing, switching from a depleted ore to the 2nd highest ore you can mine while your highest ore is dead will speed up your mining XP, although this requires substantially more focus.
So for 60.000 [[Mithril Ore]]s, you need 240.000 [[Coal Ore]]. <br>
 
Once you unlock Mithril, you'll want to make sure you mine at least 60,000 Mithril Ore. After you do, push the rest of the way to level 99 mining.
 
Once you reach level 99 Mining, buy the [[Mining Skillcape]]. While wearing the Mining Skillcape, an extra {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} will be received for each mining action in addition to the normal ore.
 
For each [[Mithril Bar]], you need 1 [[Mithril Ore]] and 4 [[Coal Ore]].
 
So for 60.000 [[Mithril Ore]]s, you need 240.000 [[Coal Ore]].
 
Now theres 2 options: 1. Mine [[Coal Ore]], you are now efficiently getting 2 [[Coal Ore]] every time you mine a [[Coal Ore]]. This is the fastest way to get 240.000. <br>

2. Mine [[Rune Essence]]. To get to 99 Runecrafting you will need around 330.000 [[Rune Essence]]. Which if you are ever gonna get 99 Runecrafting you will need to mine at some point, so why not now. When you mine [[Rune Essence]] with the [[Mining Skillcape]] on you still get [[Coal Ore]] every time you mine. <br>
