Free-to-play Mining training

Training

 * Training Mining typically involves training at a mine near a bank for the highest efficiency, and repeatedly mining rocks and banking/dropping the resultant ore.

Doric's Quest
Players are advised to start by completing Doric's Quest because doing so grants 1,300 Mining experience, enough to advance a player from level 1 Mining to level 10 Mining.

Level 1-99
This section will show the time and number of logs needed to reach level 99 Firemaking if switching to each newly unlocked log type you can burn as soon as possible. It would take a player approximately 44 hours to reach level 99 Firemaking from level 1 if switching to each newly unlocked log type that they can burn as soon as possible.

Levels 1-15 – Copper/tin ore
