Mining gold in Old School RuneScape requires good planning and location selection.
I will share the most efficient spots to mine gold ore based on your mining level and quest completion status.
The Crafting Guild is a top choice for gold mining. With a Falador shield 3 or 4, you get access to a bank chest right in the guild. This makes banking quick and keeps your inventory clear for more ore.
The Scorpion mine in Al Kharid offers a practical option for newer players. Its location near both a bank and furnace makes it convenient.
Players should note that scorpions will attack anyone with combat level 28 or below. The mine often gets crowded, so world-hopping helps find empty spots.
For players who completed the Between a Rock quest, the Arzinian Mine south of Keldagrim provides abundant gold rocks. The mine contains 168 gold rocks, and the Dwarven Boatman can bank your ores.
He charges 20% of your gold ore per trip, or 10% if you wear the ring of charos (a). While the ore quantity impresses, the banking fee reduces overall profits.
If you want to maximize your mining profits, consider buying OSRS gold and investing in better equipment first. This investment helps you mine more efficiently and access better locations faster.
Each gold rock takes 60 seconds to respawn after mining. At level 40 Mining, each successful mine gives 65 Mining experience. The ore sells well since players need it for Smithing training.
Remember that mining spots with nearby banks save more time than remote locations with many ore rocks. Your choice should match your goals - whether you want pure profits, fast experience, or a balance of both.
