The Basics

Mining is very useful and one of the best skills in the world of RuneScape because it is
probably the easiest way to make money. Obviously, to increase your mining level, you will
need to mine ore from rocks.

All the different ores come from different colored rocks that are roughly based on the ore, e.g.
a mithril rock would be blue in color. If you do not know what ore is in a rock you can find out
by prospecting it. To do this, right click on the rock and click Prospect. It will then say what
ore is in the rock, providing there is one in it.

To mine a rock, click on it while you have a pickaxe in your inventory that you can use, based
on the required mining level. As your mining level gets better, getting ore will become quicker
and easier.

When you have mined a rock, the ore will disappear and the rock will become a light grey
colour. You will have to wait for it to respawn before you can mine it again. Rocks that are
harder to mine take longer to respawn, e.g. Runite will take the longest to respawn. Another
thing that affects respawn time is how busy the world is: the more people logged in, the faster
the respawn time.

Pickaxes

We all need a pickaxe to mine with. Pickaxes are sold by a Dwarf named Nurmof who is
located in the Dwarven Mine. You can also buy bronze pickaxes from most general stores for
1gp. Here is some info about them (prices are from Nurmof in Dwarf Mine):

Dwarven Stout

There is a way to temporarily raise your Mining level. Go to the bar in Falador, and talk to the
barmaid. Order a Dwarven stout (they cost 3 gold coins each). When you drink it, your Mining
level will temporarily go up by 1, as will your Smithing level. Drinking the stout will also lower
some levels, but they will restore within a few minutes. These are also available free in the
Dwarven pass under the Wolf Mountains (must have completed Fishing Contest to access)
between Taverley and Catherby. It is also possible to brew dwarven stouts, which may
occasionally produce a mature dwarven stout; these add two to your mining and smithing
levels.

Back to Top

Gems
Sometimes when you are mining, you will find a gem. These can either be sold or cut and
used to craft amulets and the like. The higher the level needed to mine a rock, the higher the
chance of finding a gem. You will also find more gems if you are wearing an enchanted
dragonstone Amulet of Glory (members only). Members can mine gems at the Shilo Village
mine inside the walls (must have completed Shilo Village Quest), which yields only gems (any
gem from opals to diamonds).

Back to Top

Shilo Village Rocks (Members Only*)

This is a members-only feature. If you have completed the Shilo Village Quest you will have
access to some new gem rocks. Mining each gem yields 65 mining experience. The rocks
randomly yield uncut Jade, Opal, Red Topaz, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, or Diamond gems.

Back to Top

Mining Guild

The Mining guild is in Falador and is attached to the Dwarf Mines. You will need level 60 or
higher Mining to get in. Inside, there are 37 coal rocks and 5 mithril rocks.

Back to Top

Random Encounters

There are a few random encounters while mining. Occasionally a Rock golem will appear,
which will attack you. Its' level is based on your combat level. Sometimes when you are
mining, gas will start coming out of the rock, (it looks like large grey/green circles). If this
happens, stop mining that rock because it will explode and break your pick. If your pick
breaks, talk to Nurmof to get it fixed. He will charge you for this. Every now and again the
head of your pick will fly off and land on the ground nearby. Pick it up and use it with the
pickaxe handle to fix it.

Quest and Miscellaneous Mining

Some quests require mining. The Knight's Sword Quest requires you to mine Blurite ore (listed
in table above). The Hero's Quest requires a Mining skill level of 50 in order to demolish some
rocks in your path on the way to the Ice Queen's lair. The Legends Quest requires a Mining
skill level of 50 in order to demolish some boulders in the path. The Regicide Quest requires
you to mine Limestone to make Quicklime for a bomb.

A new Limestone Mine has opened east of Varrock on the Members-only path towards Canifis.
It is located just north of the path, shortly before the Temple. Each Limestone rock can be
mined 3 times before it is empty (and the respawn is quick). Mining Limestone earns 26.5 xp.
[Use a chisel on it (6xp Crafting) to make a Limestone brick. Both are useful in the Shades of
Mort'ton Quest.]

Tourist Trap

Mine: 'Troublesome prisoners go to mine 'rock'.

To get into the mine, you must attack the mercenary gaurding the cell. A message saying 'the
gaurd looks very fierce, are you sure you want to attack him?' will appear, say 'Yes, i can take
him!' and he will imprison you in the cell until you mine 15 'rock' for him (15 rock must be
given to him in one go).

Mining the rock gives 1 experience to the mining skill. Prospect info - This rock contains
unknown elements. Examine info of 'rock' after it has been mined - Looks like a plain rock,
must have some ore in it?

Arzinian Gold Mine

Requirements: Must have completed "Between a Rock..." Quest

Items: Golden helmet, Pickaxe, and possibly 4gp for ferry trips.
Highly Recommended: Ring of Charos(a)

1. Put on your golden helmet and talk to Dondakan. He'll fire you into the mine.
2. Mine 27-28 gold ore.
3. Unequip your helmet or disconnect and log back in to leave (Disconnecting allows you
to keep your helmet on and mine 28 gold ore, but may be slower).
4. Head east across the footbridge to a dwarf standing by a boat (called "Dwarven
Boatman" in game, though I call him the "Banking Dwarf" in this guide).
5. Hand over your gold ore, which he'll bank for you.
6. Repeat 1-5 until you have all the gold you want.

Banking dwarf's price:

This dwarf takes one ore off the top and one more for every 5 gold ore you give him (rounded
down).
The maximum number of ore you can mine per trip is 28, although it is recommended that
you only mine 27. If you mine 28 ores, you must leave the area by logging out and back in,
which can be time consuming, but if you leave one empty slot, you can simply unequip your
helmet when you want to leave.
The following table summarizes his price:

Number of Gold You Bring Cost

 1 to 4 Gold Ores 1 Gold Ore

5 to 9 Gold Ores 2 Gold Ore

10 to 14 Gold Ores 3 Gold Ore

15 to 19 Gold Ores 4 Gold Ore

20 to 24 Gold Ores 5 Gold Ore

25 to 28 Gold Ores 6 Gold Ore

Why Should I Bring My "Ring Of Charos(a)"?

This Ring provides two key benefits:

1. You don't need to pay the ferryman, so you can leave those 4 GP for ferries behind
and carry one more gold per trip.
2. The banking dwarf will give you a discount on his services. See below:

Number of Gold You Bring Cost

1 to 9 Gold Ores 1 Gold Ore

10 to 19 Gold Ores 2 Gold Ore

20 to 28 Gold Ores 3 Gold Ore

Other Items

Some players recommend you bring a chisel and glory ammy. You can cut and drop gems you
mine for a little extra crafting experience, but it costs you an inventory space.

Getting Money and Mining Experience Fast

Requirements: You must have completed the quest The Lost Tribe, and you need a mining
level of at least 15 (a higher level mining saves a lot of time and is therefore a big advantage).

Items needed: Any pickaxe, the best you can. Also bring any kind of light source, such as
lanterns or candles, and for safety reasons take a tinderbox with you (not really needed but
just in case you extinguish your light source).

Instructions

1. Getting to the Mines

1. Go to Lumbridge castle carrying your light source, tinderbox and your pickaxe.
2. Open the trapdoor in the kitchen of the castle (where the chef is), climb down
the ladder and walk to the east side of the cellar.
3. Squeeze through the hole and follow the path until you reach Kazgar.
4. Talk to him and ask him to show you the way through the mine.
5. Ones you have done this you will appear at the mine right next to Mistag.
2. Mining the Ores
1. You can mine iron or silver ores in the mine.
2. There are more silver ores, and Mistag will pay you much more for them, so it
is recommended that you mine silver instead of iron if you have 20 mining.
However, iron will prove easier to mine.

3. Selling Ores to Mistag

1. Mistag will pay you 13.6 coins per iron ore, rounded down. It's best to sell to
him in multiples of five to get the most coins.
2. He will pay you a much more rewarding 60 coins per silver ore.
3. Here is a table for easy reference of what Mistag will pay you for ores. If you
have an amount not shown in the table, such as 17, you can add the coins for
10 ores and 7 ores to get the amount Mistag will pay you.

Amount of Ores Payment for Iron Payment for Silver

1 13 gp 60 gp
2 27 gp 120 gp
3 40 gp 180 gp
4 54 gp 240 gp
5 68 gp 300 gp
6 81 gp 360 gp
7 95 gp 420 gp
8 108 gp 480 gp
9 122 gp 540 gp
10 136 gp 600 gp
20 272 gp 1,200 gp
4.

4. When you have sold the ores, you can just carry on mining until the amount of money
or mining experience you desire is achieved. There is no need to bank as you're selling
the ores and no inventory space is used up. Also, if you're not attacking the cave
miners and guards there, then you won't need any food (the Cave Goblin Miners are
combat level 11 and the Cave Goblin Guard are level 24).
5. If you have the amount of money/mining xp wanted, then it's time to leave the mine.
Just talk to Mistag and ask him to lead you back out of the mine. He will bring you
right next to Kazgar; follow the small path to the northwest and go through the hole in
the wall. If you have done part of the Recipe for Disaster quest, then you can bank
right here at the chest, otherwise, walk to the west side of the cellar and go up the
stairs; you will now be in the Lumbridge Castle kitchen. If you want to bank, it is
suggested you go to the bank in Al-Kharid or Draynor Village.
