How to turn a profit

Mining can be a very good skill to get money in for players who have patience. It might take a long time to get ores, but players can sell them for good prices. Players should sell their ores to other players, not to General Stores or the dwarf who owns the ore store in the Dwarven Mines. Iron and coal are the best ores to sell as many people want them to make steel bars.

So if a player has 1,000 coal ores and sells them all at 200 each, they've just made 200k. However, it takes time to mine coal, so it will take a long time to get rich off it. Also, please note one thing: you might be better off buying iron in the Dwarven Mine store, as they often sell it for 1gp each.

Copper, Tin, and Iron Ores have practically no value because so many people can mine them, so it is advised to bank your ores(if near a bank), or give it away(much faster than dropping one at a time).

Special ores

Elemental

For use in the Elemental Workshop quest.

Pure Essence

This type of essence is used for members to make the other higher level types of runes. You need to be a member and have 30 mining to be able to get it. The street price for it is about 100gp each.

Tips on Rune Essence

Tired of buying runes for such high prices? Well, upon completion of the Rune Mysteries Quest, you can talk to Sedridor in the Wizards Tower, Aubury in Varrock, Cromperty in Ardougne, Brimstail in the Gnome Stronghold, and someone in the Mage's Guild (66 Magic required) to go to the Rune Essence Mine! Once there, you can go back to the person you teleported from by use of a portal. If your mining level is 1-29 or you are not on a members-only world, you can mine the standard Rune Essence. This can be used to make Air, Mind, Water, Earth, Fire, and Body runes. They cannot be used on members' servers to make any other runes other than those six types!

If you are on a Members Server and have 30 mining, you can mine Pure Essence. Pure Essence can be used for rune crafting and can be traded on all servers, but can only be mined on members servers. You can make any rune with it (with the exception of Blood and Soul runes) and it sells better then standard Rune Essence.

Each Essence, Rune or Pure, gives 5 Mining XP. If you get the "Lost and found" Random Event, instead of receiving Law Runes, you get 9 noted essence. Ess is short for Essence in common RuneScape lingo.
