If you are a free player that cannot get in to the Mining Guild yet, you can still mine coal at the mine in the southwest area of the Lumbridge Swamp. There’s 7 coal rocks here in addition to five mithril and two adamantite rocks.
The closest bank to this mining location is in Draynor Village, and it is a nice small jaunt to get there. Still, in case you have a lower Mining level and are not a member, it is not that bad of a run, in case you can over a full stock of coal on every trip.

These rares are very important for RuneScape’s economy, many players work hard with skills to achieve a long-term goal of owning a rare and discontinued holiday item. For the most part rares either hold their value or grow, like that of a stock. In some special occasions, such as the “Unbalanced Trade Removal” update the price of rares will drop, but players can be sure that if they hold a rare long enough it will eventually be worth it because no more rares will ever enter the economy. Items such as Armadyl Godswords and Divine Spirit Shields have high prices compared to other non-discontinued items, however it is possible to get more of them. In the case of tradeable holiday items, this is impossible for the price to decrease.

All players, both free and members, can access the Mining Guild as long as they have the necessary Mining level. If you are stuck at level 59, you can run over to the Rising Sun in Falador and buy a Dwarven Stout for three Rs Gold that will boost your Mining level by one, allowing you to get in the guild. However, this boost doesn’t last for long, so it is best to drink the beer right before entering. One time inside the Mining Guild, you’ll be able to stay when the boost disappears. But, in the event you leave, you’ll require to drink another before entering again.

It was suggested in a live video by Mod Mark that if a player with a large number of rares was banned, consideration would be given to reintroducing them into the game, maybe via the GE. These items are now relatively few in number and are very expensive. Most of these items are holiday drops that were released years ago.

These RuneScape weapons are more commonly used than the other weapons as they do not degrade or break. Most kinds of basic weapons come in eight different kinds of metal.

Chainmail armour is weaker against stabbing; platemail is weaker against crushing, while the slash attack is highly effective against cloth, leather or unarmoured targets. Against monster hide, the most effective style varies. Prior to the Evolution of Combat update, the prayer Protect from Melee nullified all incoming melee damage. It now offers a 50% damage reduction from melee attacks while active.

Most weapons have an essential mode in all three styles and a secondary mode in the aggressive or controlled style. The secondary mode is often weaker, but may be more appropriate to your target win.

Discontinued items and holiday drops are items that can no longer be obtained and therefore, their numbers are not increasing. However, some of these items can still be obtained through trading with other players.
