What is the best way to mine gold and why?

Answer 1

A good place to mine gold is in Arzinian Mines, after the quest Between a Rock. The Arzinian Mines are hidden in the mines south of Keldagrim. There are 146 gold rocks in this mine, and you can use the ferrymen to take your gold ore to the bank, for a price of 6 gold ores (or 3 if the Ring of Charos is worn). Another good place is in the Crafting guild as there are seven gold rocks there as well as some silver and clay. The disadvantages to this method are that it's a long walk to the nearest bank and it can be quite full sometimes and most people tend to fight over it and this may be a very unpleasant way to mine gold. However, this disadvantage can be alleviated with a Ring of duelling teleport to Castle Wars to bank and using the Balloon Transport and one oak log to fly back to the Crafting Guild or by using a Skills Necklace. You can also use an Explorer's Ring 3 to teleport to the cabbage patch and run to draynor then teleport back to the cabbage patch from draynor bank and run to the crafting guild. The best place to mine gold is the Brimhaven north-west mine. If the Fairytale II - Cure a Queen and Holy Grail are completed, it is very easy to get to a bank. Slightly north of the rocks is a watchtower that you can walk under, as is done during the Holy Grail Quest. Blowing a Magic Whistle under it will result in the player being teleported to the King Fisher Realm. From here, run north across the bridge and use the Fairy Ring to teleport to Zanaris to bank the ores. Repeat to get back to the mining spot using the Fairy Ring Code BJR. There is also another mining spot further south, which is close to the entrance to the Brimhaven Dungeon.
