Tips and Tricks
  • The Mining Guild gives a +7 hidden boost, making mining faster and more efficient but banks are scarce.
  • When Smithing make Dart Tips, this will make fletching faster, if you are already 99 fletching then platebodys/kiteshields are the fastest depening on your level.
  • Relics - There are several relics that can help speed up smelting and smithing processes, and help save bars, increase your mining yield. Take a look in the bond pouch - relics for further info.
  • You can buy Coal from the Skilling Seller for 500gp ea, so don't worry about having to mine a load of coal
