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.
Boosts
There are several items you can use to increase the rate at which you train the
skill:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
 Ancient Ring of Skills |
The Ancient Ring of Skills is a rare drop that can be found while Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fishing. It increases the XP gained from non-combat skills by 8%.
|
 Firemaking Skillcape |
The Mining Skillcape provides a +5% boost to XP gained in any skill when worn. |
 Pyro |
The Pyro pet provides a +1% boost to XP gained in any skill. |

Equipment
If available to the player then rings such as File:Aorpheats Signet Ring (item).png Aorpheats Signet Ring, Ancient Ring of Skills, or 
Ancient Ring of Mastery should be equipped depending on whether the player prioritizes item, skill experience, or mastery experience gain.
In addition 
Clue Chasers Insignia may be equipped to increase the drop rate of Mastery Tokens, and also very slightly increase the rate of Gems if not using 
Gem Gloves.
Gloves
Mining offers two alternative gloves, both of which can be purchased from the Shop.
Gem Gloves - For a cost of 500,000
, Gem Gloves provide 2,000 charges of gloves that guarantee a random Gem to drop every action. It should be noted that these gloves guarantee a small profit per glove and is highly recommend to use these all the way to 99 for an income usually over 10m total. (Does not work on 
Rune Essence.)
Mining Gloves - For a cost of 75,000, Mining Gloves increase the base quantity of ores to 2 (or 4 for Rune Essence instead). The base quantity can then be doubled by normal means such as mastery.
Training
Mining to 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 160,000 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.
Mining Rune Essence and Glove Use
This section and table was developed by soup#8068.
Assumptions:
- The player is wearing the mining cape and has no double drops, no gem drops outside gem gloves.
- 1.3 sec/action.
- Avg. profit of 131 gp/charge of gem gloves.
| Mining Resource | No gloves | Mining Gloves (MG) | MG Essence, Coal | MG Essence, Gem Gloves Coal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essence (Mining Actions) | 165,000 | 82,500 | 82,500 | 82,500 |
| Coal (Mining Actions) | 37,500 | 52,500 | 78,750 | 78,750 |
| Action Total | 202,500 | 135,000 | 161,250 | 161,250 |
| Action Delta | 0 | 67,500 | 41,250 | 41,250 |
| Time Total (hrs) | 73.125 | 47.750 | 56.88 | 56.88 |
| Time Delta (hrs) | 0 | 24.375 | 14.890 | 14.890 |
| Cost Total | 0 | 20,250,000 | 12,375,000 | 2,058,750 |
| Approx Cost (GP/hr) | 0 | 415,000 | 212,000 | 35,000 |
The player should use mining gloves to mine essence, and then gem gloves for coal. A total investment of ~2M GP saves ~15 hrs of time.
Furthermore, if the player has an excess of money, or access to money making methods to make in excess of 415k/hr (
,
), then using mining gloves for all mining actions is a more efficient use of time.
