Mining ore tiers from copper at level 1 to runite at 85, fishing spots and the tools each needs, woodcutting tree tiers, and Farming patches. Drop-on-the-spot power training is faster XP than banking for every gathering skill.
Gather ores from rock formations found in mines across Gielinor. Higher level rocks give better ores but deplete and respawn slower. Use a pickaxe — the best you can wield speeds up mining.
| Rock | Level | Ore |
|---|---|---|
| Copper / Tin | 1 | Bronze ore — smelt with tin for bronze bars |
| Iron | 15 | Iron ore — 50% success rate on smelting without ring of forging |
| Coal | 30 | Required for steel, mithril, adamant, rune bars |
| Mithril | 55 | Mid-tier ore |
| Adamantite | 70 | High-tier ore, slow respawn |
| Runite | 85 | Best ore, very slow respawn, guarded by metal dragons in Wilderness |
Chop trees across the world for logs used in Firemaking and Fletching. Equip the best hatchet you can use. Bird's nests occasionally fall from trees and contain seeds or rings.
| Tree | Level | Log |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Tree | 1 | Logs |
| Oak Tree | 15 | Oak logs |
| Willow Tree | 30 | Willow logs — fast XP, low value |
| Maple Tree | 45 | Maple logs |
| Yew Tree | 60 | Yew logs — excellent money if banked |
| Magic Tree | 75 | Magic logs — best logs in the game |

Steal from stalls, pickpocket NPCs, or unlock chests for coins and items. Higher level targets yield better loot but stun you harder on failure. The Master Farmer at Draynor is a fan favourite for seed income.
