How To AFK Mining in OSRS

With mining, Shooting Stars are your most AFK option.

Shooting Stars

With 7 minutes of AFK time per star tier. The XP rates with shooting stars are pretty slow though, only up to 30k per hour.

---

Calcified Rocks

Calcified rocks are a decent one, where you can AFK for about 70 seconds per vein, while getting up to 50k mining XP/hr, as well as about 10k prayer XP from the bone shards.

---

Motherlode Mine

There’s also the upper floor of the motherlode mine, which provides 20 to 40 seconds of AFK time.

Duke Mining

And there's also Duke mining, which did get patched, but you can still mine for 5 minutes AFK at a time.
