OSRS 1 to 99 Mining Guide

Mining in OSRS is quite different from RuneScape. Yes, it’s scarier because of how slow it is to achieve a max level. While the skill is extremely boring to train, it’s also handy. So, grab your pickaxe and mining equipment, and let’s get right to it!

F2P Mining

Level 1 to 15

Start by completing the quest called ‘Doric’s Quest’ to skip the early boring levels of Mining. You’ll get straight to level 10 by completing it.

At level 10, you can grab your pickaxe and start mining Copper or Tin ores till level 15. The best spot would be the Varrock West Mine because the bank is closest.

Level 15 to 99

From level 15 onwards, you can switch your location to Al-Kharid and start mining Iron Ores. But hey, there are several Scorpions wandering around here so make sure you’re at a higher combat level. You can mind three veins of Iron without moving a flinch. If it’s only XP you care about, then you can utilize this method all the way to 99.

Level 70 to 85

From level 70 onwards, you can start mining Adamantite Ores. These ores are slow to mine and they aren’t as profitable as they used to be; however, the XP is great so if you’re considering this method, then head over to the Mining Guild or Dwarven Mine.

Level 85 to 99

Now, speaking of the King of Ores in OSRS, as well as a good OSRS Money maker, Runite Ores offer the best Mining XP for F2P players. However, it’s a risky path to walk on because the Ores are located in deep Wilderness, meaning the lair of Player Killers. We recommend that you become a member if you’re looking to profit off of Runite Ores as it has safer options.

P2P Mining

Level 1 to 37

As a member, you can benefit from various quests for Experience. Some of them are; Doric’s Quest, The Lost Tribe, Plague City, The Giant Swarf, The Dig Site, Another Slice of H.A.M, etc. Completing them all will get you to about 37 Mining, which is good for a head start.

Level 37 to 40/70/75

The Iron Ore power leveling is also a great option for members. If you’re bad at tick manipulation, then stay at Iron Ores till level 75, or else you can leave after level 45.

If it’s money you’re looking for, then leave after level 40 mining for better ores. The spot for Mining Iron Ores is the same, Al-Kharid. At level 60, you can head to the Mining Guild for better spawn rates and closer banking privileges.

Level 70 to 99

For better XP rates after level 70, you can head over to the Volcanic Mines. You’ll need to complete the Bone Voyage quest and have about 150 Kudos (Varrock Musem) to enter.

Besides that, you need to set camp (for the museum) on Fossil Island, while claiming five unidentified fossils from Peter. The official world for Volcanic Mines is 323.

Level 75 to 99

To access the Lovakengj Blast Mine, you need to friend achieve 100% Lovakengj favor, which is a hideous task. You need 43+ Mining to play the minigame, and as you’ve already guessed, Blast Mine is all about mining with explosives.

You’ll have to utilize Chisels, Tinderboxes, and Dynamites with high click intensity to increase the per-hour XP and profit rate. It’s best that you grab a Graceful Outfit for this minigame.

Level 40 to 99

The other methods mentioned below are more about profit and AFK-ability while Mining than XP. So, considering one of the best money-making methods in the game, you can make your way to Shilo Village and start mining Gem Rocks. You’ll be making about 600k-800k per hour so you can stay here all the way to level 99.

Level 72 to 99

If it’s money you want, then head to the Motherlode Mine as soon as you reach level 30 Mining. There’s a helpful shortcut if you have completed Falador Medium Diary Tasks and have 54 Agility. You can make the most of the mines by unlocking the upper level, which has a requirement of level 72 Mining. You also need to pay 100 Golden Nuggets to Prospector Percy!

Level 92 to 99

Been hardcore mining up until level 92? What you need is a breather called Amethyst Crystals. These are exclusive to the Mining Guide, and you can make the most out of this method by completing the Elite Falador Diary. Why? Because you get access to a mining location west of the bank. It’s a good AFK method that can make you about 350k to 450k per hour.

Conclusion

You can easily say that mining is one of the (or maybe the only) worst skills in OSRS. It’s a struggle for both F2P and P2P players; however, we do hope this guide helps you through when you embark on the journey to level 99. Good luck!
