Introduction
Mining is a very simple skill. The only item you ever need to mine is a pickaxe. You can mine different kinds of ores that can be used in the smithing skill.
Pickaxes
There are currently 6 types of pickaxes. They all require a mining level to use except for bronze and iron. The higher the level required, the better the pick.

Power Mining
Powermining is the best way to get your mining level up. Basically, you stand at a few rocks and mine them over and over. You drop the ores you get onto the ground to save time. You can also hire a runner. They take the ores from you and bank them. While they are banking you continue to mine. The pay for a runner is generally all of the ore. I suggest power mining iron.
Mining Guild
The mining guild is the best location for mining coal and mithril ore for F2P. Level 60 or 59 Mining and a dwarven stout is required for entry. It is located underground near Falador east bank. There is a ladder just south of it to take down. You can also access it from a door in the dwarven mines. There are 5 mithril rocks and roughly 30 coal.
Coal Trucks
Coal trucks are the premire way for a member to mine coal. It is located west of Seers Village. There is about 50 coal rocks. You mine them, and drop the coal into the trucks there. Then once you have deposited the max, 200, you go back to Seers Village and take it from the trucks there.
