is used to obtain ores and gems. To start Mining no requirements are needed.
Pickaxes
Upgrading your pickaxe should be done whenever you have the possibility to. The upgrades are available in the shop.
Equipment
If available to the player then rings such as File:Aorpheats Signet Ring (item).png Aorpheats Signet Ring, File:Ancient Ring of Skilling (item).png Ancient Ring of Skilling, or 
Ancient Ring of Mastery should be equipped depending on whether the player prioritizes item, skill experience, or mastery experience gain.
In addition File:Clue Chasers Insiginia (item).png Clue Chasers Insiginia may be equipped to increase the drop rate of Mastery Tokens, and also very slightly increase the rate of gem drops if not using 
Gem Gloves.
Gloves
Mining offers two alternative Gloves. Which can be found in the shop.
Training
Mining → Runecrafting & Smithing
This method opens up the option to train
and
after
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
later.
Level 15-30: Iron Ore
Mine 
Iron Ore until you unlock 
Coal Ore.
Level 30-50: Coal Ore
Mine Coal Ore until you unlock 
Mithril Ore. Any Coal Ore mined will be needed for
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
. This is because:
- Mithril is key for Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing 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 Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 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
. 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.
