Coal

Coal is one of the most important mined materials in Runescape, as it is reqired to smelt all smithable metals above iron, in increasing amounts.


 * Steel: 2 coal (and 1 iron)
 * Mithril: 4 coal
 * Elemental: 4 coal
 * Adamantite: 6 coal
 * Runeite: 8 coal

While the Mining Guild is a good source of coal for those with the required minimg level to enter, it can still get very busy, leading some miners to take on the risky Wilderness coal mine, or the even riskier Hobgoblin mine. If you'd rather face tough monsters than player killers, then Crandor Island is available after completeing the Dragon Slayer quest.
