Runescape Mining

Runescape mining is one of the most effective ways for players to earn money in runescape. Players who are not members are more restricted in what ores they can mine, however, a good amunt of virtual wealth can still be built up over time - even on free worlds.

Free to Play:
Although mine locations and ores are more limited on free to play runescape, the following is a list of ores and locations players can still build up their virtual wealth:

• Rune Essence - Rune Essence Mine
• Iron Ore - Dwarven Mines and East Varrock Mine
• Silver - Crafting Guild
• Coal - Mining Guild, Hobgoblin Mine
• Gold - Crafting Guild
• Mithril - Hobgoblin Mine

As mentioned, the ores for runescape mining are more limited, however free to play on runescape is always more limiting - afterall, Jagex want people to upgrade to membership. In saying that, players can eagerly accumulate any of the above ores in bulk and can then use it for themselves or find people looking to buy in bulk.

Runescape Members:
In addition to the ores and locations for free to play people, runescape members can readily use the following:

• Pure Essence - Rune Essence Mine
• Iron Ore - Ardougne Mines
• Coal - Coal Trucks or Miscellania
• Gold - Mines west and south west of brimhaven

Of course that is not all possible locations or ores that people can mine, however, it does list the more profitable and in demand ores. Runescape members are more likely to benefit more than non-members simply due to the fact they can make better use of ores themselves as rings of forging will enable them to get 100% pure iron whereas free to play people will suffer 50% loss due to impurity.

There is a runescape mining chart that players can check out and can help maintain and improve it simply by registering on my runescape help site. I am seeking quality guide writers as I plan to develop the site to be more comprehensive in all aspects of the game.

Runescape Attack Tips

Runescape tips are common for many skills in the game, however, many people overlook the fact that combat is one of the widest used combination of skills. Consequently, many runescape players are highly inefficient when training their melee stats.

With the introduction of Pest Control as a minigame, Jagex have made it a lot easier for players to effectively train their overall combat - well runescape members at least. This still leaves a large amount of the playing population at a loss when looking for specific tips to help train their runescape attack skill.

The runescape tips compiled for attack are predominantly focussed on members, however, if players have any specific tips that have been omitted from inclusion on the list they can comment on this post or alternatively register on runescape help site and submit a guide for their own tips.

The more people that submit runescape tips for any specific skill the better. It will help build a comprehensive reference point for tips that are within Jagex rules. Obviously tips are things that will help people rather than runescape cheats that will only result in hampering people - especially if players who cheat in runescape get caught by Jagex.

As mentioned, the attack tips are not extensive and can always be added to, so I would urge any runescape players who feel they can add to this list to either get in contact via the runescape help web site (or register on it) or to comment on this post to get your tips included.

Runescape Agility Tips

Agility in runescape is a member only skill and is often overlooked in how useful it may be in order to help people get where they need to go quicker. Runescape agility enables players to access short-cuts or specific areas that require a minimum agility level. The agility tips for runescape have been compiled in order to give players some insight into how useful the skill can be and how to make use of their existing agility level.

The runescape tip compilation for agility is not complete, as there are many other tips than can be added. If any player has any additional runescape tips for agility they can register on the site and submit a comment - or players can use the contact form available on the main runescape help site that I operate. Bear in mind runescape-help.net is a help site and not an official Jagex site and I am not able to help in any runescape account enquiries.

There are numerous other tips available on the runescape help site and I will update this blog to highlight all the tips over the coming weeks. Players can bookmark this site to their favourite social bookmarking tool or can bookmark and register on the main runescape help site so they can access all runescape tip compilations easier.

Runescape Construction - Using Oak Logs

Construction in RuneScape is an expensive skill to level and just as expensive to decorate your house with all the finest materials. However, Oak Logs offer a relatively fast and more economical method of levelling your construction. It is not cheap, simply more economical.

The idea is to get to level 50 construction - once you reach level 30 you can use Tears Of Guthix weekly experience or genie lamps as well as doing some general building.

Once you reach level 50 then you should hire a Demon Butler to do your bidding. The furniture of choice to make is the 'Oak Larder' that requires 8 Oak Planks. Players will need to build the larder and remove it 3 times (24 oak is the maximum the demon butler can carry - but you will also have some cash to pay the butler, some noted oak planks or oak logs as well as a hammer and a saw).

The process is somewhat laborious although it is one of the most efficient methods of raising your construction level effectively. It will still cost a lot of cash with 6000 coins needed to convert the 24 oak logs to oak planks per inventory as well as the 10,000 coins needed to pay the demon butler when he demands it.

Runecrafting - World 66

Runecrafting may be one of the more difficult and labour intensive skills in Runescape if you are determined to mine the essence and run the essence yourself. Members in runescape do have a good option to speed up the process - world 66 law crafting.

Since Jagex released pure rune essence and later released player owned houses, many players have focussed on raising their construction skill and many have stopped training their runecrafting.

This is primarily being posted to remind members that world 66 law runecrafting is still one of the quickest methods to gain runecrafting experience. The cost involved may have increased as pure essence is at least double the cost of the price rune essence used to be traded at, although the rate of experience gained is still the same.

Free to play runescape players will still need to look at other runes to gain their runecrafting levels - air and fire runes generally will be the easiest and possibly the most beneficial to runecraft for these players.

Fletching in Banks

A lot of players still continue to fletch their logs at the same place they cut them. This is inefficient and can easily be improved upon if players simply stockpile their logs and then later fletch them at a bank.

The idea is simple, players can quickly bank the logs they get from woodcutting and continue stockpiling until they get the required amount of logs or even reach a woodcutting level.

With the logs stockpiled, players can then bring out their fletching materials which should consist of a knife and 27 logs. It is just a matter of making longbows whenever possible for all the logs in your inventory at one time and then banking all the unstrung longbows, taking out all logs (only 27 will be able to be taken out), and repeating the process.

This is a much more efficient method than simply fletching the logs as you cut them since you do not have to waste time in dropping the unstrung longbows. Players can also gain some money from this by later selling the noted longbows to a shop.

If a player has a high enough fletching level to make either Yew Longbows or better, then it is normally better to cast high alchemy and receive 768gp for each Yew Longbow or 1536gp for each Magic Longbow.

Overall, if you want to speed up your fletching and you have stockpiled logs, then fletching at a bank can save you time AND make a little bit of money in the process as well.

Tears of Guthix

Any player in Runescape that has completed the Tears of Guthix quest should be fully aware of the experience gained from the mini game associated with the quest. The weekly experience is given to the lowest skill of a player - provided they have above level 30 in that skill.

To start a game, players will need to speak to Juna - located through the back of the Lumbridge Swamp Caves.


Players will then need to collect up as many Guthix Tears as possible in the time permitted. The Guthix Tears will flow from the blue streams and increase the experience gained when time is up. Players should avoid collecting any tears from the green stream as it will reduce the total collected and therefore reduce the experience awarded at the end of the game.


Overall, this is not going to be a great source of experience in your favourite skill, moreso, it will offer players an easy way to train their most disliked skill and therefore is a valuable way to gain some of the lower levels of a skill that you do not like training.
