So what is a Runescape Autominer? Well firstly and foremost I should just warn that runescape autominers are illegal to use in conjunction with Runescape and that this guide is more about explaining what they are than recommending you use them, because they will get you banned. Well Runescape Autominers have came about many years ago when Runescape was in its infancy and when the Runescape skills were much more monotonous and a lot more clicking was required to obtain ores from rocks. The autominer was also applicable to other Runescape skills that required many clicks to obtain raw materials, like fishing and wood cutting. Prior to Runescape 2 players were required to click their inventory bag then select their mining pickaxe then select the rock on which they wished to mine. This was considerably monotonous as it required a lot of mouse movements and clicks which lead to players using the Runescape Autominer. In the beginning the Runescape autominer essentially was a macro that allowed you to select places you want the mouse to click on the screen and a sequence of clicks and time delays and intervals. So with this autominer players were able to essentially set up the macro program so that it ran without requiring the player to makes the clicks. However you couldn’t just leave the autominer running by itself because in the Runescape classic version you are automatically logged out of the game if you haven’t moved after 5 minutes. So whilst the runescape autominer would do the clicking for you, you still needed to passively watch over it to make sure that it was still functioning.
