A player standing in the Hobgoblin Mine.
The Bandit camp mining site or the Hobgoblin Mine is a mining site found in the Wilderness from levels 34 to 37. The mine is occupied by a large number of aggressive, level-28 hobgoblins, from whom the mine gets its nickname. In addition, revenants of varying levels may wander into the area at any time. Prior to the removal of player-killing in the Wilderness on 10 December 2007, the mine was a hotspot for player-killers hoping to kill miners for their ore.
This site is also a nice spot to train Smithing in the wilderness, as it has a furnace east of it, and an anvil south-west of it. Players wishing to mine and/or smith here should first deposit their items at the Wilderness Volcano bank nearby.
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. With the introduction of Bounty Hunter this mine was moved 4 levels deeper into the wilderness. Before this mine was moved the teleportation problem could be solved by carrying an Amulet of Glory which can teleport up to level 30 Wilderness, however the amulet is for members only.
The mine is also the location of a level 3 Treasure trail , a Zamorak wizard will attack.
For adventurous miners, if a revenant attacks run east to the north-western part of the volcano, and run into the centre of the volcano, the south eastern side, where you can exit it to reach the bank and bank your ores. Be aware that there are ankou and greater demons within the volcano.
The Hobgoblin Mine features one of the most abundant supplies of Mithril and Adamantite ores in a single location in the entire game, along with one of the mining locations unlocked in the Haunted Mine quest, which is closer to a bank. Coal and Iron rocks are also scattered around the area.
In total, the mine contains:
- 16 Iron rocks
- 20 Coal rocks
- 22 Mithril rocks
- 8 Adamant rocks
The Superheat Item spell can be used well there. To use the mine well, it is recommended to bring many nature runes, wield a staff of fire and bring a rune pickaxe along with several pieces of high quality food. Good melee abilities is strongly recommended, and as it is faster to mine coal and mithril in the Dwarven Mine Resource Dungeon, it is also better to mine solely admantite ores. A set of inexpensive armour can also help to fend off hobgoblins. Bear in mind dying in the wilderness will retain 3, or 4 items with Protect Item, which will generally be two admantite bars and the rune pickaxe, if no other armour is wielded, and Superheat Item is in use. As hobgoblins would be a threat too, it is recommended to team in 2-5 to protect each other.
