Introduction:
Hi, I'm a lvl 86 member on Runescape, and got bored while fishing for shark so I decided to make a skill guide, and I choose...MINING!
I found mining really enjoyable as a new player, and it got better as the levels got higher, but I now find it boring. (Don't let this put you off!) Mining is a very profitable skill, if you mine the right thing at the right time.
The pickaxes.
So you've decided to start mining and become a mean, green (Maybe not green.) mining machine! Well you better get a pickaxe! When you finish tutorial island you get a Bronze pickaxe, the most basic of all the axes. You would be using this for a while unless you get an Iron pick, because that's a little better and it only needs mining lvl 1 to weild. So now you've got lvl 6 mining go get yourself a steel pickaxe and get back to lvling until mining lvl 21 when you can get a Mithril pick, lvl 31 when you can get Adamant pickaxe and then finally at lvl 41 the daddy of all pickaxes, the rune pick!
Leveling Strategies.
1-15
Mine the basic copper and tin, because that's basically all you CAN
mine at this lvl. A good place to mine this is south of Varrock.
15-60
Now you should have a Steel Pickaxe, so you can go to the big mining area under Falador, where you will be power mining Iron. (Power mining means mining and dropping.)
60-99
Now you should have a Rune Pickaxe, and you can get into the coal mines in Fally where you will stay until lvl 99, unless you want to mine some Mithril, Adamant or Rune ores when you gain some lvls, although they aren't fast xp but they sell for high prices and are good for smithing. If you bank all your coal you should have a lovely amount of coal by the time you are Mining lvl 99, which you can sell for up to 200gp each!

Ending.
So now your lvl 99, what to do next? Well, first go and get yourself a skill cape! They cost 99K, so you can show off with your 99 mining! Go enjoy your mining and mine more coal for cash, or even Rune if you have the time because they sell for about 10-15K per ore! Although with a mining level that high you could mine the ores to get yourself another 99 skill, such as smithing.
