Training Mining

Shooting Stars

• Shooting Stars are the best mining XP at any level, are AFK to mine, and provide the player with stardust (Donators get bonus dust)
  • Shooting stars will not appear in any of the other methods below since they are mentioned here, but are limited time random events (there is no cap on stars you can mine per day, or stardust you can hand in)
• Stars require their size*10 mining level to mine, and as they are mined, they go down in tier
  • If a size 9 star lands, it requires level 90 mining to mine it, once it has been mined through that layer, it will then require 80 mining, and so on
• Gold+ donators can easily get to the star with ;;star, and it will also display the time until the next one if there is no current star
• Pickaxe tier does not matter for the shooting star, which means the bronze pickaxe in your toolbelt is good enough.

Red Sandstone

Red sandstone is the product of mining red sandstone rocks with Mining level 81. It can be made into robust glass by using the robust glass machine or the Superglass Make spell. Robust glass is then used to create 6 dose potion flasks. Players can mine a daily limit of sandstone depending on their donator rank. See Donator benefits page for details on daily limit. See the Red Sandstone article for more details.

Levels 1 - 99

Levels 1-68

• From level 1 to 15 you can mine copper and tin. These can be mined in the Varrock Southeast Mine.
• Level 15 to 30/35/45/68 mine Iron. These can be mined in the Varrock Southeast Mine.
  • When you want to stop mining Iron you have a variety of options:
    • Coal at 30. This can be mined in the Falador Mine.
    • Sandstone at 35. This can be mined at the Bandit camp Quarry.
    • Granite at 45. This can be mined at the Bandit camp Quarry.

Levels 68-77+

• The lava flow mine is a minigame where players are mining away the crust from lava pools
• This minigame is extremely AFK, good XP/hr and awards the player with the golden mining set
• The XP/hr here is slightly less than concentrated deposits, but is more AFK

Levels 77+

• The best location for mining Concentrated ore deposits is in the Platinum+ level of the Donator Zone. Alternatively, those without the rank can mine the deposits in the Living Rock Caverns
  • The concentrated coal deposits require 77 mining, and the concentrated gold deposits require 80 mining
• Players should have the Excavation silver relic here to avoid getting hit by the NPCs
• If you want the max XP/hr you will need to empty your inventory with ;;e
• If you want to keep your ores, either use the endless harvest relic, which will automatically double the ores and bank them, or teleport home to bank, and teleport back with the Nexus
