training has been completed. The key here is to get 500,000 to purchase Gem Gloves to provide a steady source of gems and therefore passive income while Mining. Some sort of Money Making method is advised to fund the initial purchase of gloves. If in need of money, the gems gained from using Gem Gloves can be sold to fund the repurchase of gloves, however note that it is recommended to at least keep any Diamonds as they are useful in the late game for Diamond Luck potions.

When first starting with Mining, it is recommended to use any Mastery Pool experience to increase the Mastery level of rock(s) that are currently being mined (or rocks that will soon be mined) to around level 30-40. This is because each Mastery level increases the Rock HP, greatly reducing the amount of time spent waiting for rocks to respawn while Mining (as respawning will occur less frequently). In the later levels, it is more beneficial to save pool experience for the Mastery pool checkpoint bonuses.

Level 1-15: Copper/Tin Ore

Mine either Tin Ore or Copper Ore. Ideally, an equal amount of tin and copper will be mined in order to create Bronze Bars for training

Level 15-30: Iron Ore

Level 30-50: Coal Ore

training later.

Level 50-99: Mithril Ore

From here on it is recommended to mine Mithril Ore with Gem Gloves equipped all the way until

Level 99

. This is because:

Mithril is key for

Smithing training, consuming significantly less Coal Ore per bar than higher tier bars
The rock respawn time of Runite Ore and Dragonite Ore (60 seconds and 120 seconds respectively) is significantly higher than that for Mithril Ore (20 seconds), which harms the rate of experience gained
The required Coal Ore necessary to smelt the large amount of Mithril Bars needed later will be obtained once

Level 99 has been reached, taking advantage of the Mining Skillcape perk

Once 99 Mining is achieved, the Mining Skillcape becomes available for purchase from the Shop. When equipped, this provides 1 extra Coal Ore for each ore mined.

Level 99: Rune Essence

With the Mining Skillcape equipped you have to mine about 330,000 Rune Essence for

Level 99

. Gem Gloves do not work with Rune Essence, therefore if affordable the Mining Gloves are a good alternative to speed up the process.

Level 99: Coal ore

After mining Rune Essence, about 235,000 Coal Ore will still be needed. Equipping Gem Gloves while mining this is recommended.
