Mining Icon

Mining is a skill that allows players to obtain ores from mining locations. With ores, a player can then either smelt bars and make equipment using the Smithing skill or sell them for profit. During mining you can obtain rare geodes and gems.

Uses

How to mine

As a player is mining a location, they will eventually obtain an ore (or a gemstone). This ore can either be used in the Smithing skill or it can be sold. To speed up your mining you can craft or buy an pickaxe.

Different areas will give different types of ore, but each area can drop geodes and every type of gems.

Some areas will have ores that requires a higher level than the area it is in, in this case, players are able to mine in the area but will only receive ores they meet the requirements for.

Mining equipment

The following items have some effect on mining:

  • Pickaxes gives a bonus to mining level, this bonus will only affect the duration of actions and not the kind of ore that can be mined.
  • Augmenting Pickaxes give even more mining levels, the higher the tier of the pickaxe the more mining levels each augment gives.
  • Scroll of destructive testing can enchant a pickax to automatically destroy junk drops and convert them into 5 XP.
  • Scroll of the prospector can enchant pickaxes to increase the odds of finding gems.
  • Scroll of wealth can enchant rings or necklaces to automatically sell mined resources to the in-game shop at an increased price.
  • Scroll of naturalist can enchant gloves or boots to increase the odds of finding a geode.
  • Scroll of gathering can enchant rings or necklaces to give a chance to obtain extra resources.
  • Scroll of superheating can enchant pickaxes to gives a chance to transform a mined ore into a bar at no extra cost.
  • Scroll of the scholar can enchant rings or necklaces to increase the experienced gained, at the cost of not receiving items.
  • Scroll of haste can enchant rings or necklaces to increase action speed.

Random events while mining

Gems

Gem chance is baised on how long it takes an ore to be mined. Both the Sapphire necklace and Gameshop Gem% upgrade double the gemchance, these bonuses stack additively to give you 3x higher base chance. Enchantments also add the chance to find gems with Woodcutting & Smithing.

Gem % chance
Sapphire 4/10
Emerald 3/10
Ruby 2/10
Diamond 0.7/10
Black Opal 0.3/10

Geodes

Geodes are found while mining. The chance for one is baised for how long it takes an ore to be mined. Geodes can be opened for some ores, talismans, gems and another geode.

Greater Demon

When mining in the Deep pit you sometimes encounter an Greater demon, hence the warning for mining there. These greater demons are quite though to beat without a lot of food or good equipment. Therefore its not a good idea to AFK when you don't have either of those.
