Alright, so I'm sure everyone has been in this situation: just starting on a server, and everyone is flexing their massive amounts of money on you. Ya get jealous, and then what? How do you make your money fast?
My main method is using a masterful blessed mithril pickaxe, wood-elven scout armor, a bucket, and several night vision draughts and going coral diving.
Meneltarma is still a holy place for Illuvatar. Not even Sauron dared to defile it when he was on Númenor. But there were many players who built boats and sailed to Meneltarma to, well, defile it.
Maybe, in the future, Meneltarma would be a place where "good" ring magic would be extraordinarily powerful.
But Meneltarma is so tiny, i only found a single vein on the whole island, it's not like you could create an industrial sized complex for mining Mithril there, if you are very lucky you may find enough for a sword and a single suit of armor, the thing is stuff in Minecraft breaks and gets lost upon death, even if you spent days mining for Mithril chances are you will loose it sooner or later especially as good character, no armor will help you against two or 3 Olog Hai, and once again, without Mithril the place is basically just a piece of meadow in the ocean, there is no interesting ruins, no lore to be found there, no treasures, nothing at all, so why go there at all?

Back when mithril was found in meneltarma, I constantly heard players saying that it's broken and that they've obtained more than enough for a full set of mithril gear within hours. Stuff in minecraft can also be repaired, and many servers have /back commands or even keepInventory. "Especially as a good character".. Alright, no armour may help you agianst 2 or 3 olog-hai, but a hulking pike, a striking bow, a small pack of hired rangers or even 2 trees that happen to grow close to each other are enough to kill lots of ologs. Evil players have a way harder time getting alignment than good, but it's nothing impossible. Even if there's no treasures, the place will still attract explorers and achievement-hunters.

I would guess that's vocal minority, and TBH Mithril gear is not that incredibly better then Dwarven gear, you get 1.5 armor points more, which won't really make that much difference especially when facing multiple foes, ok you may go down in 10 hits instead of nine, but does that really matter that much? In light of this i say if you took time to sail to the remotest part of the map and locate one tiny island in the massive sea, and then mine for several hours, i think you deserve those 1.5 extra armor points, had you spent all that time grinding money you could have hired a force of NPCs large enough to seriously turn the tide of any fight, much more then those 1.5 points ever could. As for exploration as i already said, there is nothing, literally nothing to se on Meneltarma, it's just plains biome in the middle of the ocean, there are no ruins, no lore, no nothing, not even a unique type of block to use in builds, only reason i could ever see why anyone would want to go there is if they already did all the other achivements and want another fast travelling point, but who needs that many fast travelling points?

Armor can be modified, you know? Mithril is the only set that can get the True-Silver modifier, which defends agianst polearms and is a big advantage in pvp. Dwarven armour could be buffed to diamond level, but it can never obtain true-silver nor the durability of mithril. The durability makes mithril equipment way more reliable than faction equipment. Also, mithril weapons have a higher damage output.

Marginally is the keyword here, again, if you just turned all that Mithril to chunks and sold them you could hire something like 9 ghaladrim warriors for each piece of Mithril, which is about 216 Ghaladrim warriors for a full set of armor, now which one of us do you think will win? You in your Mithril suit or me with my 216 friends?

All elven warriors have bows.
I hunt in Far Harad, with the new update, Rhino meat can sell up to 6c per Raw Meat, plus I get extra horns. You should do so using a blessed spear of some sort, without a flame. If you plan on just eating your meat, use a flame, generally, each rhino drops 4-6 Raw Meat and 2-3 horns (I know, that doesn't make any sence).
