Money making guide/Mining coal and superheating Runite bars

The Superheat Item spell allows faster mining of coal due to the reduced need for banking. Repeatedly mining eight coal, casting Superheat Item on runite ore, and banking when needed yields decent profit and experience in Mining, as well as some Smithing and Magic experience.

While mining coal is typically more profitable overall, it involves much more running to the bank. With this method, one can mine 144 coal and only bank about every 20 minutes, as opposed to every 5 minutes while mining Coal.

At level 60 Mining, it's possible to produce about 54 runite bars per hour with this method at the Mining Guild. Other places to mine coal include the West Lumbridge Swamp mine (where the Falador Teleport and Lumbridge Teleport spells can be used for fast banking and return), Barbarian Village mine (if the player uses the imbued skull sceptre for fast access), and the Dwarven Mine. Players not afraid of danger may also want to consider the South-west Wilderness mine.
