• Why: Yew trees are the highest level tree for non-members and their logs retain decent value at 110 each. They're also safe, usually close to banks, plentiful, and require very little attention.
• What you'll need: Level 60+ Woodcutting and a rune axe.
• Considerations: Cutting yew trees is better together; every player who cuts the same tree as you will grant a +1 woodcutting bonus, stacking up to ten. 'Forestry' worlds are often most populated with woodcutters, and it is beneficial to follow for the +10 woodcutting level boost.

There are plenty Yew trees across Gielinor. Locations include: south of Edgeville bank, south of Falador, east of the Grand Exchange, west of Rimmington, and west of Lumbridge Castle. Travel to any of these locations and begin chopping Yew trees. If the spot is far from a bank, it can be beneficial to bring teleportation runes, bank, and then run back. The largest groups of woodcutters can often be found on 'Forestry' worlds east of the Grand Exchange.

• Why: The Mining Guild offers iron, coal, mithril, and adamantite rocks
• What you'll need: Level 60+ Mining and a rune pickaxe.
• Considerations: Can often be crowded.

The Mining Guild offers the most abundant mine accessible to free-to-play players.

• Why: Hill Giants can be killed by any means and can also be safespotted. Their big bones are worth 246.
• What you'll need: If using melee, at least a full set of mithril equipment and sufficient food. If using Magic or Ranged, any level will do, but a higher level is preferable.
• Considerations: Hill giants are crowded. Switch worlds to find an uncrowded spot.

First, acquire a Brass key from the Grand Exchange or navigate through the Edgeville Dungeon. If buying the key from the Grand Exchange, go to the small shed north of the river crossing between Varrock and Barbarian Village. This is the entrance to the Edgeville Dungeon. Open the door with the key and climb down the ladder. There, you'll find a cavern filled with giants. There are various safespots along the side of the cavern, behind rock formations and obstacles. Kill hill giants and take their bones. These can either be buried for experience, or bank to later sell on the GE.
