FTP Mining
Important: Mining on FTP
is notoriously difficult. Not only is it a competitive skill but as more and
more people play Runescape, with no more rocks being added, it can be very
hard to get any iron ores at all.
With this is mind... You have to find ways around the
problem of not being able to mine any iron because someone else with a rune
pickaxe and double your level is beating you to it all. The answer to this
problem is to MINE TIN AND COPPER. Yup - tin and copper. Right up to level
41. I guarantee that by doing this you will reach level 40 before other
miners who are mining iron. At level 41 you should buy and equip a rune
pickaxe then start mining iron.
Pickaxes: Make sure you
have equipped the best possible pickaxe for your level. If you can't afford
one then get the money quickly by running air runes for an air company
(check Runescape forums for this). To buy a pickaxe, go to the north west
corner of the dwarven mines and speak to Nurmof.
Armour: When mining
anything in Runescape, make sure that you are not wearing any armour at all.
It adds to your weight and slows you down - so don't do it as its bad
gaming.
Iron or coal: At level
60 mining you can enter the dwarven mines to mine coal. Don't bother mining
coal before this as its a waste of time. The experience you get in the guild
at level 60 is around the same as iron at this point so its fine to move
into the guild straight away. Soon after level 60 the XP rate of coal starts
to pull away from that of iron so there is no need at all to go back to iron
after you have started in the guild.
If you need iron to mix with your coal then sell some of
your coal in bulk, buy iron with the proceeds and make steel plates to high
alch.
The method for this guide is as follows:
1-41 Tin and copper south east of Varrock
41-60 Iron south west of Varrock OR North of Al Kharid
60-99 Coal in the mining guild (in the Dwarven Mines)
1-41 Tin and copper
You should mine the two of these in equal measure so that you can use
them later to gain valuable smithing levels. I've set the early level times
to the level where you should equip the next pickaxe.
