Alright, so first, go to Edgeville, and jump the Wilderness Ditch. Make your way up to the Bandit Camp. Use the World Map, if you need to.
Once you reach the bandit camp, enter the northernmost building inside the walls. If you see Fat Tony, you’re in the right building.
Pick up a tomato and some cheese from the table, and then purchase pizza dough from Fat Tony. Make a pizza, and cook it on the range. This is just a precaution, in case you should ever be low on health.
Keep making pizzas, until you’re sure that you have enough. Remember to try and keep inventory slots open.
Now, proceed northeast out of the camp, until you reach the Hobgoblin mine. It is around level 36 wilderness. Check your map for the biggest mining spot north of the camp. If you’re there, and you’re surrounded by hobgoblins, you’re in the right place.
Notice all of the iron, coal, and mithril rocks. Also, notice how you’re probably the only one using the mine. If you’re not, switch worlds.
Mine from the most valuable rock you can. While you’re mining, you should be attacked by hobgoblins very often. If you’re attacked while mining a rock, wait until you obtain the ore, and then kill the hobgoblin. Then, return to your mining and repeat. Bury all of the bones the hobgoblins drop. Also, keep all of the coins and limpwurt roots they drop as well.
Once your inventory is full, drop by the bank, which is just east of the Wilderness Volcano. If you don’t know what that is, then just look for the bank icon on the map. It’s the only bank in the Wilderness. Duh.
Store all of your ore and limpwurt roots. Keep at least 100 coins on you at all times, though. Now, return to the mine and repeat. You should be gaining mining, combat, and prayer experience as you work.
If you’re ever attacked by a revenant, immediately activate your Protect from Magic prayer and run away. If it’s hitting you from a distance, eat your pizzas. Once you lose the revenant, log out and switch worlds. If you don’t, the revenant will linger around the area it last saw you, so you won’t be able to return to the mine.
Once you decide you’re finished mining, go to Varrock, and withdraw all of your limpwurt roots as notes from the bank. Sell them over the grand exchange. They should sell for between 1k-2k each. If you’ve collected enough, you should have tons of money by the end of your trip.

DAMMIT!!! you got me killed! as soon as i went out there i got attacked by like 5 friggin revenants at once and i lost everything aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!
Hey, I warned you. It says in the requirements to know your way around the wilderness. And, if you DID know the wilderness, you would have understood the dangers, and this wouldn’t have happened. Also, I recommended you to carry armor and supplies you were willing to lose.
Sorry, but there’s nothing I can do beyond warn you.
