Bandit camp mining site

The Hobgoblin Mine is rich in higher level ores, but dangerous due to its position between danger levels 34 and 37 in the Wilderness, leaving players open to attack from not only the Hobgoblins for which the mine is so named, but also bloodthirsty Revenants that may rise up at any time. The Hobgoblin Mine is also a nice spot to train Smithing in the wilderness, as it has a furnace east of it, and an anvil southwest of it, with (almost) no-one to bother you.

One positive thing about this dangerous wilderness mine is that it is in a one-on-one combat area. Most of the time, the miners will be attacked by the hobgoblins, however Revenants can attack the miners, as they have dominance over other npcs in the wilderness. Since the mine is higher than level 20 wilderness, players cannot teleport out. However, this problem can be solved by carrying an Amulet of glory which can teleport in level 30 wilderness, although only members can do that. Be forewarned, though, that an Amulet of glory is not a one-click teleport and will not be effective during combat, as it will be interrupted if you are attacked before the second click.

The Hobgoblin Mine features the most abundant supply of Mithril and Adamantite ores in a single location in the entire game. Coal and iron rocks are also scattered around the area.
