Old School RuneScape
Early, mid, and late are rooms, not a promise. Rates move. Wiki keeps the hour. A paid coach is a call, not this page.
Levels
Early
1–30 copper, tin, iron. The pick matches the level. Quests help. Do not sit on runite at 40 because a video thumbnail said so.
Mid
Motherlode is the afk room with pay-dirt and a cleaner. Granite is the tick room if you want to click. Stars are a world-event. Gem rocks if you like the chance. All of these are on the live page — rates move.
Late
Amethyst at 92. The rock the wiki currently ranks for raw XP. 3-tick granite is a VOD habit, not a requirement. Mining guild and the expert mining gloves matter if you own them.
Wear
Best pick you can use. Prospector if you own the set. Celestial ring later. No slayer helm required on a rock.
Afk
Motherlode. Stars when they are up. Amethyst when the level is there.
Fast
The rock the wiki ranks for the tick this month. Confirm it. A blog will sell you last year’s tick.
Watch
A pick you cannot replace is not a method. The belt in the Foundry is Smithing.
