83 Mining

——————————————————————————–
Introduction

Mining Rune Ore is perhaps one of the best ways of making money in RuneScape, with an experienced miner being able to bring in 1 million gp in just 3 hours.
This guide will focus on Mining Rune at the Wilderness Rune Mine, as it is the only place in which Free players may mine Rune, and because the other sites are easy enough to mine at anyway.

Recommended Levels

To begin this profitable venture, you will need a few levels to begin with. These are

83+ Mining (Required): Although you need 85 mining to mine Rune, it is possible to do so before. To do this, you will need either a Dwarven stout, which increases your Mining and Smithing Levels by 1, or a mature Dwarven Stout which does so by 2.
It is however strongly recommended that you get 85 mining. This is because it will make things much simpler, as you will not need to take up inventory space by carrying the stouts, they can be hard to buy, and the time that they last is unpredictable.

High Combat Level (Recommended): It is recommended that you have fairly high combat stats, due to the fact that the Rune Rocks are surrounded by level 34 spiders, and due to the fact that they are located in around level 54 Wilderness, you will be able to be attacked by most Revenants; and such you will need to defend yourself.

39+ Prayer (Recommended): It is highly recommended that you have at least 39 prayer so that you may use the prayer protect from magic- although having 43 so that you can use all the protect prayers is preferred.

High Agility (Recommended and members only)- If you are a member, then it is highly recommended that you raise your agility level to at least 30. This will not take to long, and you will most definitely notice the difference. This is because you will be doing a fair amount of running whilst mining rune- be it to the bank, or from Revenants, and you will find the extra energy extremely useful.

Recommended Equipment

You will need the right gear if you want to mine rune successfully. Below are some recommended set ups, but you may add and remove items depending on your budget and levels.

An example of some good equipment. You should change items depending on your levels, and if you are a member or not.

Set up 1- Free to Play

Head- Wizards Hat
Torso- Best d’hide body you can wear
Legs- Best d’hide chaps you can wear
Shield- Anti dragon fire shield
Weapon- Rune Pickaxe
Gloves- Leather Gloves
Amulet- Amulet of defence or Holy Symbol

Set up 2- Members

Head- farseer helm, wizards hat
Torso- Best d’hide body you can wear
Legs- Best d’hide chaps you can wear
Shield- Elemental or Mind Shield
Weapon- Rune Pickaxe
Gloves- Forthity Bracelet
Amulet- Glory Amulet, Amulet of Defence or Holy Symbol

Both of these set ups provide good magic defence, which is what a revenant will usually attack with first, whilst still remaining cheap.

Recommended Inventory

An example of a good inventory.

Around 5 Tuna fish or lobsters: Tuna is recommended, as it is extremely cheap, whilst it still heals a good amount (10hp). Those who are new to rune mining, or with low combat levels may want to take lobsters or swordfish.

3 Cakes: Although they only heal 4hp per bite, in total cake heals 12hp whilst still being cheap. It is recommended that you eat these when not in immediate danger as not to waste money on more expensive fish.

Anti Poison (members): In members worlds, Revenants will often poison you in 50+ Wilderness. There is a chance that you will be teleported here if using Obelisks to travel, and such to prevent an early trip to the bank, it is recommended that you take 1 anti poison potion.

Prayer Potion (members): You will often pray a lot if you encounter Revenants, and such you may save yourself a trip to the altar by carrying 1 prayer potion.

Travel and Location

It is not easy reaching these rare rocks, however with these tricks your journey should be slightly less treacherous.

From Edgeville or Varrock: This is the most dangerous route, and the only one open to free players. You simply walk to the rocks from either Edgville or Varrock.

Skills Necklace (members only): Members may use a Games Necklace to teleport to either Bounty Hunter or Clan Wars. You may then either use teleport obelisks, or walk to the Rune rocks.

Ancient Magiks Spells (members only): several spells from the Ancient Magiks spellbook will teleport you near the Rune rocks; these are-

- Dareeyak teleport;78 magic- The ruins
- Carrallangar teleport; 84 magic- The Graveyard
- Annakarl teleport; 90 magic- The Demonic Ruins
- Ghorrock teleport; 96 magic- The Ice Plateau

Teleport Obelisks (members only): There are several Teleport Obelisks scattered across the Wilderess. If you teleport using one of these, then you will be randomly sent to another. There is one outside bounty hunter, and anther just west of the Rune rocks, meaning that you can reach them easily.

- Green line: Using Teleport Obelisks
- Pink line: Dareeyak teleport
- White line: Carrallangar teleport
- Blue line: Annakarl teleport
- Peach line: Ghorrock teleport
- Black line: from Varrock
- Brown line: from Edgeville

Whilst Mining

Whilst mining, there are several things you should check you have done.

Sound: Make sure that you have the sound effects turned UP. This way you can hear a Revenants magic attack, and such run and use the correct protection prayers straight away.

Auto Attack: You should also have this turned OFF. That way you will not run towards any attacking Revenants.

Run: Have this turned ON, whilst mining, so that you can run from attacking Revenants straight away.

You should also keep an eye on your mini map, and your camera angle low, so that you can see Revenants, and run from them at quickly at possible.

Banking

You should not bank with a full inventory of Rune. This will mean that you cannot run for long, and if you die you will lose a lot of money. You should also make sure that you have some food left.
There are several ways that you can bank your Rune.

Bounty Hunter: This is probably the best way, as it is close by. Members may use Teleport Obelisks, and teleport right outside, whilst free players will have to walk.

Mage Arena (members only): This is the second best method, but is not recommended as you will have to walk around high levelled wilderness, which is a hotspot for Revenants.

- Peach line: Mage arena

Revenants

Throughout this guide, I have mentioned Revenants several times. For those who are not familiar with them, they are dangerous ghosts that replaced Pking. They can hit up to 30 often, and could leave even the most experienced of players dead before they know what’s hit them.
They will usually use there magic attack first, but can use all styles of combat and will change depending on what protection prayer you use.
Such it is advised that you take plenty of food whilst mining, and only items that you are willing to lose.

Grave Stones

Mining Rune is a dangerous past time, and such you will most probably die at some point. When this happens, you will leave behind a gravestone. These last for a few minutes, and if you reach it in time you will receive all of your items back. You can purchase new gravestones from the church in Lumbridge, whilst members may also purchase more once they have finished the drunken dwarf quest.

Tips and Tricks

- The higher your mining level, the faster you will mine Rune.
- Revenants will usually use their Magic attack first; turn your sound up and learn to recognise it so that you may use protect prayers and run straight away.
- If you die, you can still get your items back; but you will need to get to the place that you died at within a few minutes.

World Hopping

As Rune ore takes so long to respawn, it is reccomended that you world hop. It is a good idea to pick around 5 worlds and cycle through them, so that you will be there when the ore spawns.

This is the last section before reaching your first MILLION GP! Excited? You should be. We have two methods to making your first MILLION GP, the first one about running Oak Planks using your home servants (members only), and a Cow Hide Tanning Method (free players). Both are ultra secret methods tested to guarantee that you will be well on your way to making millions! Enjoy!

The table below lists the different methods we have compiled for your utilization on the path to 1 Million GP. Click on the method for a detailed guide. (Scroll down a little to see the table)

Requirements: Lvl 30 Construction

Many P2P think making money is an extremely slow process. Well, in some cases it is. To be honest, so did I. Then, one day, I decided to get out of my money slump and do something about it. To use the method to make over 150k in one hour, you need 40 construction, if you already do, skip to the next paragraph. If not, I EXTREMELY suggest either getting lvl 40 or using the table to see how much you can make. At lower levels it may not be worth it. Please note, this may not make sense yet, just pay attention to the money per hour at the end of the chart.
(you can click the chart to view a larger image)

NOTE: The prices for this chart are for the price of 440. For the cook, for each 10gp over or under that, add or subtract 9.6k to the gp per hour; for the butler, 12k per hour; the demon butler, 15.6k. Also, if the price per plank goes up by 80 or more (520 ea or above) the demon butler will be a better option for making money. Finally, even though you use more logs for the butler and demon, it still takes the same amount of time to use them all. Don’t think making the 6240 planks takes any longer then the 960, it doesn’t. You use more because they are faster then the cook, but the cook is cheaper per log.

Instructions

To begin making your money, you will need money. For example, if you are using the butler and plan to work 15 min, you will need 600 oak logs(18k gp if 30 ea (600*3)), and the cost of the sawmill fee and to pay your butler(207k). Total 225k. Buy your oak logs, note them all, and bring the money (I would bring 230k just to be safe) logs(noted remember), and 20 of the logs unnoted to your house. I now suggest going into your most empty room so your butler has nothing to get stuck on.

Now use your 20 unnoted logs on your butler and select “Sawmill”, then type in 20. In 10 sec your butler should return. He will give you your planks. Now, use the planks on the butler and tell him to send them all to your bank.

Congrats! You have just mastered POH plank running! Now to continue (remember you just used your unnoted logs) select your noted logs and use them on your butler. He will ask you if he shall return them to bank or un-note them. Select “yes”. In another 10 sec he should return with your logs. Use them on your butler and select sawmill again. In 10 sec he returns with planks… tell him to take them to bank. Then un-note 20 more logs… send to sawmill, then to bank… and continue for 15 minutes or until your logs are gone and have been turned into planks. After 15 minutes you have spent 230k L… but, when you then sell your 600 planks on the G.E. for 440 each….. You get 264k! That’s 34k in 15 minutes!

Now fasten your seatbelts and prepare.. the next is one biiiggg paragraph. Note: You do NOT have to read this part. This just explains the chart above. I put it at the bottom because the chart is relativly easy to understand. If you want to have a description, read on, but BEWARE!

Now to explain the chart. The first column speaks for itself, the level and name for each butler.

The second column tells you how much a each servant charges per item when making planks (does not include sawmill fee of 250), sending items to bank, or un-noting them. To use the butler method, you are paying 31.3gp per item he takes. So one 20 item inventory costs you 626 gp (he doesn’t charge you directly; every 8 inventories or so he charges you 5k). This IS included in your total profit, so don’t go thinking that you will be getting less because of this. You will still make the complete 160k per hour even with this fee.

The third column tells you how long it takes the servant to complete a full load (un-noting, then to sawmill, then banking). The butler takes 10sec for one inventory, so he takes 30sec for full load of planks. The cook takes 20 sec for one invin, so she takes 60sec for a full load of planks. The demon is very fast, he takes 5sec per inventory, so he only takes 15sec to un-note, sawmill, and bank.

The fourth is straight forward… that is how many items the servant can take at one time.

The fifth column is how much in total you spend per plank. For example, the butler spends 250gp on the sawmill fee, then you spent the 30gp on the oak log, and finally the butlers fee of 31.3 for each trip; un-noting, then sawmill, then planks to bank. For a total of 31.3*3 = 93.9. So for each plank you spend a total of 374gp. This includes buying the log, paying the butler, and paying the sawmill.

This then ties into the sixth column. In this, it shows how if you spend 374 per plank to make it, then sell it for 440, you make 66gp each plank. For an inventory of 20 (his max) that’s 1320gp. To get the 2640 per minute, you find that if it takes him 30sec for a complete load, you get 2 complete loads per minute.

After finding the gp per minute, you look into the final column. To find the gp per hour, we take the 2640 and multiply by 60.

Well that’s it! You can now work for 15min and make 34k with the butler! What’s that? You say what about the cook? Well, the process and chart is exactly the same. Say you want to work only ¼ of an hour (15min). Just divide the last numbers by 4. You’re making 21k in 15minutes and buying 240 logs. Multiply the cooks total cost of labor (remember the cost of logs, sawmill, and servant fee) which is 350 each, and the number of logs to get how much money you will spend in total. 84k is it. Now to figure out how much to bring, have only the 84k in you inventory and buy the 240 logs. However much you have left is how much to bring. If you’re buying the logs 30 ea, 7.2k is the amount on logs, so you’ll bring 76.8k with you.
