Fuck that.
I think I'll just mine copper until I'm level 60, and then use the mining guild mine.
Anybody know how populated it is or if there are hostile NPCs?
Mining guild is usually 0-5 people at any given time. No hostiles. Mostly coal, but there's also mith and addy rocks.
ALSO: I've just gotten my hands on a bot that makes accounts and rushes them through tutorial island. There's also a bot that automatically trains them to a specific combat level, I'm using these two together to get ready for a serious botting effort.
