Located north-west of the Lava Maze in level 46 Wilderness, the Lava Maze Runite Mine is the only mining site in free-to-play worlds with runite ore to be mined. Therefore, the runite ore is rarely left undepleted, as rune miners often time the spawns and wait for the ore to respawn in anticipation. The mine is located north of both the Bandit Camp Mine and the Lava Maze in the Wilderness. There are two rocks here which contain runite ore. Although the area around the rune rocks is crawling with aggressive deadly red spiders, players will rarely be attacked by the spiders when standing next to the runite. If you are attacked by a spider, run to the other side of the rock. World switching is useful here to fill the inventory with ore, as it takes 12 minutes for the runite to respawn.

Player killers are often found around this mine, as foes cannot teleport until they reach a Wilderness Obelisk, the Mage Arena, or level 20-30 Wilderness. To complement this, it is easy to attack and kill unsuspecting players who are looking for runite ore to mine as they often forego armour in order to reduce weight and item loss upon death. To reduce the risk of being killed while mining, it is recommended that players bring a few pieces of high-healing food, such as sharks.

1. Pull the lever south of Edgeville's bank to enter the Deserted Keep.
2. Slash the spider web, exit out, and head south and then east among the fence until you reach an opening.
3. Go through the gate's opening, and head west past the giant spiders.
4. Afterwards, the mine is a bit to the south, but make sure you don't go past the deadly red spiders on the west side.

1. Near the west wall of the Grand Exchange, build a waka canoe, which requires 57 Woodcutting and an axe (preferably a bronze or iron axe).
2. Upon arrival at the moss giants, run north-west to the Lava Maze, and stay along the northern face of the maze.
3. You'll run directly into the mine, but make sure you don't go past the deadly red spiders on the west side.

1. Between Varrock and Edgeville, follow the River Lum to its end by the Mage of Zamorak at Southern Wilderness Mine.
2. Run directly north until you bump into the Lava Maze after passing several aggressive monsters including skeletons and moss giants.
3. Go a bit east around the Lava Maze to the north side.
4. Stay along the northern face of the maze.
5. You'll run directly into the mine, but make sure you don't go past the deadly red spiders on the west side.

1. Go inside the King Black Dragon Lair just to the west of the Lava Maze down the ladder in the caged lesser demons' area.
2. Pull the lever to teleport into King Black Dragon Lair.
3. Activate your teleport and as soon as you hit the ground, and you'll be safe from player killers, but beware of the King Black Dragon himself.
4. Bank at Edgeville via an Amulet of glory, or in Varrock.

1. Run to the west side of the mine past the deadly red spiders.
2. Either go directly south until you reach level 20 Wilderness activating your Varrock teleport and as soon as you arrive, or continue running south all the way to Edgeville.
3. Alternately, you could run back east around the lava maze, and directly south off the east side of the maze down into Ferox Enclave where there is a F2P Banker there.
4. Bank at your preferred destination.
