F2P Mining and Money Making

Mining on runescape is an essential skill for most people to have if they are on free to play (f2p) servers. Mining for ores will take a lot of time, but will be worthwhile whenever a player is able to sell a bulk amount of ores for cash.

When I mean sell for cash I mean selling to other runescape players for runescape money and not real world trading - as real world trading is against Jagex rules.

Some basic mining tips on how to make money in runescape when on free to play servers:

• Essence - Level 1 mining - It is easily mined and can sell for a decent price to people who are runecrafting and making any of the basic 6 types of rune. Price may be up to 30gp each.
  
• Iron Ores - Level 15 mining - These can be mined quickly and will normally sell between 50gp - 100gp price range.
• Silver - Level 20 mining - Silver can be mined at the crafting guild and will normally sell for around 200gp each to people who are trying to raise their crafting skill.
• Coal - Level 30 mining - Coal is always in demand and can fetch up to 200gp each in bulk, although any price from 140 - 200gp range is normally considered decent enough.

These runescape money tips are ways to help players on free to play servers think about using their skills to make money rather than spending time merchanting and risking market price changes.

An extensive list of runescape money tips is available on RuneCrypt and on runescape fan sites.

Players on runescape free to play servers can also make money by collecting cow hides, air running or via woodcutting. Obviously there are many ways to make money and it is finding a method that you enjoy and are happy to do for long periods at a time that will help build up your reserve of runescape gold.
