By now I presume you have 41 mining. You have the ability to mine coal and gold. If you can scrape together 20k, I highly recommend you buy a rune pickaxe from the Grand Exchange. As far as mining goes, it would now be wise to switch from iron to coal. At this level you will have to make do with the coal rocks in the Barbarian Mine, but it will be worth it soon enough.

If you still have some iron left in your bank, one possibility is to begin smelting steel bars and selling them for money. One steel bar requires an iron and two coal, sells on average at 600gp each. However, if you do not have any iron left and do not feel like getting more, or you do not have 30 Smithing to smelt the steel bars, you could also just mine coal and sell it for about 200gp each. I must admit, this is where mining gets the most boring thus far, so make sure you keep at it.

You could also continue powermining iron if you wish; the best place is in the Grand Tree mine, as there are about 6 iron rocks right beside each other. Simply mine one ore, drop it, then move on to the next one - this is very fast exp. A great way to end up with a small profit and fast experience, is to mine in the Dorgeshuun mines as there are many rocks and Mistag the cave goblin will buy all your iron ore for 13gp each. If you have access to the Culiomancer’s chest, then banking the ore wouldn’t make much trouble.

Another alternative for members, is that of mining granite at the desert quarry, located south-east of the Bandit Camp. The experience for these ores is greater than coal, and can be mined with great ease.

The mine south to Falador, has many rocks, including iron and gold. It’s a good spot to powermine iron ore and bank isn’t that far as well.

Finally, members can also try the Coal Trucks. North-west of Seers’ Village, there are 17 coal rocks (which are usually fairly empty) just south of a number of crates. Once you’ve filled up an inventory of coal, put your ores in a truck, and go back to mining! The trucks hold 120 ores, which is just over 4 inventories. Once the trucks are full, or you’re done mining, you pick up the coal in Seers’ Village - just north of the bar - and deposit all the ores in your bank. It is recommended to have 20 agility when you’re using the Coal Trucks, as it cuts the route back to Seers’ considerably. Be aware that random events tend to occur more than usual here.

Spots To Catch Chins: regular chins or red chins?

There’re two main spots. One located north-east of the curved pond (as shown in the map), and one about two screen south of there. My last 5 Hunter levels were there, and what I learned is that there’s no such thing as private spots - there’re more hunters than places to hunt. You better get used to the idea of two people hunting in the same location. Three hunters in one location isn’t out of the ordinary as well, although these situations usually don’t last long and someone will leave.As for the ‘immature noobs’ (yeah, I’ve seen it prior to the edit), you can just set Public to Friends, and join a clan chat channel.

There are some ways to catch efficientsly:
1. Drink a ranged potion whenever it drops within 5 levels of yours.
2. Protect melee prayer at all times or you will die. Drink prayer potions as needed.
3. Throw your chins on “shot fuse” this is the equivelant of accurate for most ranging weapons. You hit the best using this style.
4. In my method you alternate between 2 spots.

To chin efficiently you must understand the nature of the regeneration of the monkeys. When skeleton monkeys die, they leave bones. Whenever a pile of bones is within 2 adjacent squares of a player, the monkey will regenerate after a few seconds. An important thing to note here is that 1 and only 1 monkey spawns per square regardless of the number of bones on that square. Taking this into account, when chinning it is most efficient to throw your chins into the center of a 3×3 grid. You’ll hit the most monkeys, and your respawn rate will be at its highest.

The first spot (where you should begin chinning) is 1 square NORTH of the natural bone spawn. These bones do regenerate in the above fashion, giving you a free source of monkeys. Whenever you begin to see multiple monkeys on the same spots, shift to spot 2. Spot 2 is 3 squares directly diagonal (in this case southwest) from spot 1. The entire grid (or partial grid) should shift to form around you in spot 2. When throwing from either spot, always throw to the diagonal adjacent square to hit the middle of the grid. If done properly many monkeys will begin to stack on your grid and you will get the max exp/chin while keeping a good spawn up.
Q: Can you also do this with normal chinchompas?
A: You could, but nope it’s not worth it. The xp is not very good so it’s a waste of prayer potions. It’d be better use arrows.

Q: Evil chickens use magic attacks and hit me!
A: Yes, but if you don’t kill them, you will have to run. If you run you will lose more hp than the chicken will hit you for(Your armour is good against magic attacks, so it won’t hit you much).

Q: Can I also train magic here?
A: Yes, it’s good xp but it will cost a lot of money.
