Zalcano
Group skilling boss that actually pays
The safe, no-combat skilling boss under Prifddinas. In a busy group it's a relaxed 2m/hr with Mining and Smithing XP on the side, plus a shot at the Crystal tool seed and Smolcano. Your cut scales with how hard you work each kill.

Hard requirements
- Song of the Elves
Recommended
- 70 Mining
What to bring
- Crystal or dragon pickaxe
- Celestial ring

Why choose this method?
- Nothing to buy before you start.
- Worth doing on an Ironman: it gathers its own inputs or gives untradeable value.
Tips
- Bigger groups mean smoother kills but your share depends on contribution, so keep working the whole fight.
- A crystal pickaxe plus celestial ring noticeably lifts your damage and payout.
- Treat the gp as a bonus on top of the Mining/Smithing XP and the tool-seed chase.
