Mining

MINING

Mining Is a fairly Easy Skill, all you have to do is click a rock and wait until you get the ore. There are many types of ores and rocks and they are used in different types of smithing and smelting. To find out what kind of ore a specific rock contains, right click and select "prospect rock", however most of the time you can tell what type it is by its color. After you have mined the rock, The color will disappear and it will turn light gray until it respawns. The respawn time takes longer depending on how high of a level rock you are mining.

DWARVEN STOUT

A dwarven stout is a drink that can be purchased at the bar in Falador, it temporarily raises your mining level by one as well as your smithing level. As with other beers, it will lower your other fighting skills.

GEMS

Every now and then while you are mining, you will find a gem. You can cut them and make them into jewelery such as rings, necklaces, and amulets with a gold bar. The higher level rock, the better chances you have of encountering a gem. An Amulet of Glory(members only) will increase your chance of getting a gem after being dipped into the fountain of heroes in the heroes guild.

MINING GUILD

When you reach level 60 mining, you are entitled to a special area with 40 coal rocks and 5 mithril rocks. You can access it near the falador bank. Or, at the very far end of the dwarven mines, you will see an gate guarded by dwarves, this is another way to get in.

RANDOM EVENTS

There are a few random events that can take place while mining. First, A Rock Golem can appear and attack you. His level will vary(14-159) depending on your combat level. Also, A rock may begin to emit gray-greenish steam while you are mining it. You should stop mining the rock or you will be dealt damage to your hitpoints and your pickaxe will break. You can get it fixed by using it on Nurmof the pickaxe seller in the dwarven mines. Sometimes when you click a rock, your pickaxe head will simply fly off and land somewhere around you. To fix it, pick it up and use it on your pickaxe handle which should be in your inventory. Very Rarely, A rock will get up and simply walk away.
