Runescape Mining and Smithing Made Easier

By tzpsky on January 23rd, 2008 at 07:29am

A fully planned and applied scheme to training mining and smithing on Runescape.
Use them before they rust!
We Runescape players are totally nuts about mining and smithing. True - can anyo
ne deny that? But the thing is that it isn't at all easy to train them
when you may be allowed to play for, say, 2 hours a day? So what we do is rush i
nto search engines and type stuff like Free Runescape ores and
Auto-mining and smithing autobots . But most of them either steal the password or t
hey don't work at all. C'mon, you can't deny that. So, to train
mining and smithing faster, what can be done?
Most people then give up the once-dreamt-about mining and smithing skills. Of co
urse, not that you can spend no time and yet achieve high levels.
But one must utilize time and not waste it.
Well, that's what this article is all about. And if you think it wont work, try
it out! That's the only way to find out of course.
Level 1 - 14
At this stage money isn't quite the thing to think about. All you need to do is
focus. Say, you can try to increase 1 level per day. That is no trouble at
all. Even more, you can train at least 5 levels at the start, that is, go right
from level 1 to level 5 in the first day. Now the question is, where do
I get my ores? Of course coming to that.
Being of low level, you can only mine some basic ores. So, go to the mines that
are to the south of Varrock. There are always plenty of players there,
so you can even chat with them while you mine. Once there, mine 14 tin and 14 co
pper ores (you need to have an empty inventory and your pickaxe must
be wielded in your hand to do this). Then follow the road, northwards, to Varro
ck and store all your ores in the Eastern Bank.
Once you feel you have got enough ores, follow the same road southwards and go t
o the Al Kharid bank. Once there, take out 14 of each ore and smelt
them in the furnace just next to the bank. Keep the smolten bronze in your bank
and repeat to all your ores. Return to Varrock and smith them to
bronze items. At low levels, you can keep smithing bronze scimitars.
Level 15 - 34
Now you get to mine iron, so do just that at the same mines as you did in lower
levels. But once your combat level gets high, get going to fallador
and use the dwarvean mines there. They are really a miner's perfect treat. Moreo
ver, Fallador is the ideal spot for mining and smithing training as
it has a pickaxe shop, mines, a furnace and anvils. So get 28 iron ores every ro
und in your inventory (once again, empty inventory and pickaxe in hand).
Store these ores in the Southern gate bank. Do this until you get the needed amo
unt of ores. Now comes smelting, the most annoying part of iron smithing.
This time, you can get a bar of iron from one ore itself (unlike bronze). But t
o get the maximum number of ores, click on 1 ore at a time and then click
on the furnace, instead of clicking on the furnace, right clicking the iron optio
n and clicking on all . Do this to all your ores.
Now get back to the dwarvean mines and use the anvils there to smith iron items.
For level increase, I suggest smithing scimitars at level 20 and 2h
swords at level 29.
Now, at level 30, the whole thing about mining and smithing becomes special beca
use it is at this level that you can make steel out of mined coal and
iron. And steel indirectly means money alongside Exp.!
If you feel mining is for money, then here's your chance! Mine silver ores at th
e Al- Kharid mines (they're called Desert Chasms) and smelt them at the
furnace there (in Al-Kharid). Use them accordingly to earn money!
Level 35 Onwards
Now you can work wonders with your level in mining and smithing. Keep mining coa
l and iron side by side from the Fallador mines (Dwarvean mines).
Smelt steel from them and keep making steel scimitars up till level 39. Then sta
rt making steel war hammers. They give hardcore Exp, and quality money
(when sold). Keep this continuous till level 46 and once there, start making ste
el platelegs or plate skirts. They give you the same Exp. As a steel
battleaxe but fetch you more money.
Even though you can further make mithril items from level 50, I suggest keeping
steel platelegs/plate skirts going as for making mithril items, you'll
need mithril bars which require one mithril ore and 4 coal ore. This is not so e
asy when you haven't got time in hand. Keep this going till level 59 and
once there, make your mithril bars and then mithril war hammers. Repeat this til
l level 79 and then start making adamant items (adamant war hammer).
Keep this going till level 93 and then make rune war hammers.
Keep this going and you'll be level 99 in no time!
So there you are! Use you pickaxe and hammers before they rust. Of course, this
will take some time but then it is much better than training the skills
normally as this is a well planned and applied, fully working scheme. Follow it
and reach what you had once dreamed!
Best of luck and happy mining and smithing!
