Types of Pickaxes
As with most other skills, as your level rises, better equipment becomes available to you. Better quality pickaxes will mine ores faster.

	Adamant	31

Mining Spots
Some of the best mining spots in the game can be gotten to with minimal skills, making mining one of the better moneymakers for the newer players. The coal trucks north of seers (members) require only 20 agility, and 30 mining to use. The Dwarf Mine is acessable to all players, and a short walk from edgeville.

The Grand Tree Mine is also very usefull, being only 2 floors below the bank. Requirements are completion of the Grand Tree Quest. The mining guild is a coal miners heaven, requiring level 60 mining and having ladders staright to Falidors East bank.

Random Tip:
The normal spellbook is for fighting monsters, while the ancient spellbook is for pvp, and the lunar spellbook is skill-based. Each is interchangable, however more effective if used appropriately.

Scam Alert!
A less common scam nowadays is the itme duplication scam. Items cannot be duplicated, no matter who tells you what. It is not possible.
