Volcanic Mine
One pack bought from Petrified Pete for 4,000 points. The broken dragon pickaxe is left out of the gp: it can't be traded, and repairing it at Nurmof costs 2,500,000.

Experience rates
At 6.0 games/hour, about 10.0 minutes each:
| Skill | XP per game | XP per hour |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | 14,000 | 84,000 |
84,000 Mining xp/hour at level 99 with a dragon pickaxe, from the article's own table.
That comes to 2,545 points/game at 5.5 experience per point — the article’s figure, which counts both the experience mined during the game and the chunk Pete pays at the end.
An ore pack is 4,000 points, so a game is 0.64 of one.
Rates scale with the ore you can mine rather than smoothly with level — runite unlocks at 85 — which is why the table jumps where it does.
