Guides/Mining Sites

&nbsp There are many mining sites across RuneScape, but which one to chose? This guide will help you decide (note: it only applies for F2P) This list is incomplete.

Clay

 * The South-west Varrock Mining site is close to both a pottery wheel/kiln and a bank, making this a good spot to mine clay. This is probably the best F2P spot for clay, due to there being no monsters in this mine.
 * The Dwarven Mine has a deposit box and some clay rocks, but there's no pottery wheel in the area. There are also Level 14 Scorpions in the area, and you need level 15 dungeoneering to enter the hidden mine.

Rune Essence

 * The Rune Essence Mine, teleported by Aubury, is the only option for Rune Essence.

Tin (banking)

 * The South-East Varrock mining site is a good spot for mining tin ore, because of its proximity to a bank.
 * The Barbarian Mine is also a good spot if you only want tin ore.
 * The South-West Varrock Mining Site, also very good, better than the Barbarian Mine.
 * The Dwarven mine is useful if you have Lv 15 Dungeoneering.
