Power levelling

Power levelling or grinding is the term referred to when speaking of a player who is trying to raise their level in a certain skill in as short a time as possible, often without care about what resources they may gain as well as experience.

A good example of this is when a player is training Mining and drops the ores they mine so they can collect more without completely filling up their inventory. This allows them to raise their level without the need of going to sell it or deposit it in their bank. This saves travelling time, which makes the levelling faster.

Power levelling cost
Power levelling cost refers to the loss in coins per experience point using a certain method to power level. Generally speaking, skills with a higher power levelling cost are harder to train.

Power levelling cost for free players
Below is a table showing the power levelling cost using different methods to power level. In the method of loss section, Drop means dropping the produced item, which results in no loss of money as the loss is theoretical; Destroy means the original item is destroyed in the process, resulting in actual loss of money; and Transform means the original item is changed into another item, ready to be sold.

You can increase the value of your training by using skills to train other skills. Classic examples include cooking the fish you catch, and burning or fletching the logs you cut, but there are many more combinations out there.
