New to Resource Terminal? Start here. Two skills, infinite grind, real Bitcoin.

🪓 Woodcutting — Your First Gold

When you first spawn in Lumbridge, you have a woodcutting axe in your inventory. Trees are everywhere. This is where the grind begins.

1
Find a tree. Walk east from Lumbridge castle. You'll see regular trees lining the path. Click on one — your character will start chopping automatically.
2
Wait for logs. Each chop attempt has a chance of success based on your Woodcutting level. Logs will appear in your inventory. Keep chopping until your inventory fills up (28 slots).
3
Sell at the General Store. Walk north to the Lumbridge General Store. Click "Sell" and sell all your logs. The shop pays GP based on supply and demand — the less logs they have in stock, the more they pay you.
4
Repeat. Every 1,000 GP you earn converts to 1 RST automatically. The merchant handles it. You just grind.

⬆ As your Woodcutting level grows, you unlock better trees: Willows (level 30) in Draynor Village, Maples (level 45), and Yews (level 60) in Edgeville — each paying significantly more GP per log.

⛏️ Mining — Digging for Bitcoin

Mining is the second core skill. You need a pickaxe — buy one at the General Store for a few coins if you don't already have one. Then head to any mine.

1
Get a pickaxe. A bronze pickaxe from the General Store will do to start. Better pickaxes require higher Mining levels — iron (level 1), steel (level 6), mithril (level 21), rune (level 41).
2
Find a mine. The Varrock East Mine (northeast of Varrock) has iron, copper, and tin rocks. The Varrock West Mine has copper and tin. Click a rock to start mining it.
3
Mine until full. Ore goes straight to your inventory. When you hit 28 items, walk to the Varrock East bank, deposit everything, then head back to the mine.
4
Sell your ore. Bring your ores to the General Store or hold them. Iron ore pays well early game. Coal and mithril from the Mining Guild (level 60) pay the most.

Power miners drop ore on the ground instead of banking — trading profit for faster XP. Once your Mining level is high enough to mine fast rocks, the XP rate matters more than the GP per trip.

₿ Why This Matters — GP to Bitcoin

Here's the part that's different from any other private server. Every GP you earn isn't just a number in a database — it gets converted to $RST, an OP20 token deployed on the Bitcoin blockchain via OPNet.

1,000 GP = 1 RST
RST on Bitcoin

OPNet is a smart contract layer that runs inside Bitcoin transactions using Tapscript. Your RST tokens are settled directly on the Bitcoin blockchain — not a sidechain, not a wrapped token, not a bridge. Real Bitcoin finality.

Once you have RST in your OP_WALLET, you can:

  • Hold it — account value grows as more players join
  • Stake it at the sRST contract to earn passive rewards from game fees
  • Trade it on MotoSwap (NativeSwap) for BTC directly
  • Use it to unlock harder areas of the game world

The Venezuela gold farming era proved that broken economies could find real income in virtual ones. Jagex captured that market in 2013 with Bonds — an in-game stablecoin backed by membership. Resource Terminal goes further: the GP settlement is on-chain and transparent. Your grind is your ledger entry. Bob says so every hour.

🧠 The harder you grind, the more the world unlocks. Phase 1 (Misthalin) is free. Earn 10 RST and Asgarnia opens up. Hit 1,000 RST and the full world is yours — Karamja, Morytania, Kandarin, everything.
