#Runescape classic mining free#
If you’re a free player that can’t get into the Mining Guild yet, you can still mine coal at the mine in the southwest area of the Lumbridge Swamp. This can be helpful if you’re mining both coal and iron to smelt together to make steel bars. There are 12 coal rocks here, so you should be able to mine constantly without having to wait too long for the ore to respawn.Īnother advantage of this mining area is that it also has a number of iron rocks. This is a members-only location, but it has the advantage of usually being deserted and still not too far from the southern East Ardougne bank. East ArdougneĪnother area in Runescape with an ample number of coal rocks is just northeast of East Ardougne. But, if you leave, you’ll need to drink another one before entering again. Once inside the Mining Guild, you’ll be able to stay when the boost disappears. However, this boost doesn’t last for very long, so it is best to drink the ale right before entering. If you’re stuck at level 59, you can run over to the Rising Sun in Falador and buy a Dwarven Stout for 3 gp that will boost your Mining level by 1, allowing you to get in the guild.

The latter entrance is the one closest to a bank and is shown in the screenshot to the right. The Mining Guild has two entrances – one in the dwarven mines and one in southeast Falador. If you have a Mining skill level of at least 60 or can obtain this level through the use of stat-boosting items, the Mining Guild is an excellent place to mine coal since it is so close to the east Falador bank and contains 37 coal rocks. Even if your combat level isn’t that high, you can manage to avoid the bats if you move to different areas of the mine or stand on opposite sides of the coal rocks when mining. However, if you have a combat level of 55 or higher, they won’t bother you at all. There are several level 27 Giant Bats in the area that are aggressive and will attack anyone with those lower levels. The only drawback to the area is that it might be a bit annoying to those with a combat level of 54 or lower. The carts will normally hold 120 pieces of coal, but if you wear the Seers' Headband, they’ll hold even more – up to 196 ores with the Seers' Headband 3. As you mine the coal, you can put it into the nearby carts and then retrieve it later at the cart station near the bank in Seers' Village. Here, there are 18 coal rocks and 3 carts. You can pick up Old School RuneScape on February 24th on Steam.One of the best places for members to mine coal in Runescape is at the coal trucks just west of McGrubor’s Wood (an important area for Runescape’s Fishing Competition quest). Plus, as a free-to-play game with minimal subscription services being shoved down your throat - RuneScape sits as an honest breath of fresh air within the market. The fan base is evidently still hooked on the frequent updates and premium material, and Jagex are only looking to evolve on the world we all know and love. RuneScape will be celebrating 20 fantastic years in 2021 - and we’re crossing everything in the hopes it’ll continue to soar for another, too. Even still, players have been digging up old accounts for years now - and RuneScape is only continuing to branch out and secure new players worldwide. And, to be fair, that’s incredibly impressive for a game that sticks to its guns of outdated graphics and MMORPG elements. With an average of 157,000 users throwing back to the nostalgic world, the double-decade old game hit the spotlight like never before. Last year, Old School RuneScape managed to raise the bar and break its record for concurrent players.
