#RUNESCAPE CLASSIC MINING FREE#

If you’re a free player that can’t get into the Mining Guild yet, you can still mine coal at the mine in the southwest area of the Lumbridge Swamp. This can be helpful if you’re mining both coal and iron to smelt together to make steel bars. There are 12 coal rocks here, so you should be able to mine constantly without having to wait too long for the ore to respawn.Īnother advantage of this mining area is that it also has a number of iron rocks. This is a members-only location, but it has the advantage of usually being deserted and still not too far from the southern East Ardougne bank. East ArdougneĪnother area in Runescape with an ample number of coal rocks is just northeast of East Ardougne. But, if you leave, you’ll need to drink another one before entering again. Once inside the Mining Guild, you’ll be able to stay when the boost disappears. However, this boost doesn’t last for very long, so it is best to drink the ale right before entering. If you’re stuck at level 59, you can run over to the Rising Sun in Falador and buy a Dwarven Stout for 3 gp that will boost your Mining level by 1, allowing you to get in the guild.

The latter entrance is the one closest to a bank and is shown in the screenshot to the right. The Mining Guild has two entrances – one in the dwarven mines and one in southeast Falador. If you have a Mining skill level of at least 60 or can obtain this level through the use of stat-boosting items, the Mining Guild is an excellent place to mine coal since it is so close to the east Falador bank and contains 37 coal rocks. Even if your combat level isn’t that high, you can manage to avoid the bats if you move to different areas of the mine or stand on opposite sides of the coal rocks when mining. However, if you have a combat level of 55 or higher, they won’t bother you at all. There are several level 27 Giant Bats in the area that are aggressive and will attack anyone with those lower levels. The only drawback to the area is that it might be a bit annoying to those with a combat level of 54 or lower. The carts will normally hold 120 pieces of coal, but if you wear the Seers' Headband, they’ll hold even more – up to 196 ores with the Seers' Headband 3. As you mine the coal, you can put it into the nearby carts and then retrieve it later at the cart station near the bank in Seers' Village. Here, there are 18 coal rocks and 3 carts. If your mining level is too low to mine an ore you will not be able to successfully prospect for it either.One of the best places for members to mine coal in Runescape is at the coal trucks just west of McGrubor’s Wood (an important area for Runescape’s Fishing Competition quest). Sometimes you will fail to find the ore, so you may need to try prospecting the rock several times to make sure there really is nothing there that you can mine. When you successfully prospect a rock, you will be told what sort of ores you are able to mine from it. If you right click on a rock, you will get the option to prospect it. Rocks can be found at the various mining sites in the RuneScape world. These can be bought at the axe shop in Lumbridge for 1 gold coin. To mine, the only object you will need is a pickaxe. The ores can then either be sold or made into different objects using the smithing and crafting skills. The mining skill is used to get ores and metals from rocks.
