Runescape mining guide: How to make more money & other great tips

Ever wonder how you can make millions by doing something as simple as 'mining'? Well, it's very possible. I, myself, have done this. Mining is something simple, but sometimes can get very tiring. People decide to cheat and use programs called "auto-miners" which really isn't worth it. If you really want to make big money by mining then you will need to be dedicated and very patient as this will take some time, maybe even months, but i guarantee that by the time you finish with all these steps i will provide you with, you'll be a millionaire easily. These steps are from my own experience.

I find mining pretty easy, all you really need to do is click on the 'ore' or whatever you're mining and the player does all the hard work. Many people get bored, but I on the other hand, can go on for hours doing this. And it's worth it. Okay, so starting off, you can only mine copper ore and tin ore. You will find leveling up very fast in these levels. Save up all those copper and tin ores in your bank until you get to level 15 mining. Then, you need to smelt the copper and tin ores and make bronze bars. Now, just smith all those bronze bars. All of this bronze junk doesn't even have a value, so don't get your hopes up thinking you will make lots of money by selling them to other players. No, don't waste your time, just go and sell all of that junk at the General Store.

Go back to mining, and now you can mine iron ore, so do that. Save up all those iron ores until you get to level 30. Now, you can buy an Adamant Pick-axe. Go back to mining, but now you can mine coal, so go ahead and do that. Try getting around the same amount of coal and iron. So do this until you get to about level 50. Remember, by level 40 you are capable of using the Rune Pick-axe. For the next step, it would be very useful if you are a skilled mage and you are capable of casting the spell SuperHeat Item because you will need to smelt iron ores to make iron bars, but only 50% of iron ores actually turn into iron bars when using the furnace. So if you had about 2000, and are just trying to smelt 1,000 of them, but only 500 of them will turn into bars. That's not so convenient, is it? With superheat you can make all 1,000 successful iron bars. Now smith all these bars. By smelting and smithing all these bars you will probably reach level 30 or more. Now you can make steel bars.

When you smelted those 1,000 iron ores, you should have about another 1,000 iron ores plus 2,000 coal. Now you can smelt all of
