Keep

Emerald Bolts and
Diamonds for
Diamond Luck potions.
If you don't have money to buy
Gem Gloves, either sell
Mithril Ore, smelt and sell
Gold Bars, or get money through the

Fishing money-making method.
It is also recommended to use any Mastery Pool experience to increase the Mastery level of nodes that you're about to mine to level 30. The Mastery level of a node increases the Rock HP, greatly reducing the waiting time for the note to respawn because the nodes will have increasingly larger respawn times the higher you level. Later, it is more beneficial to save the pool experience for the Mastery pool checkpoint bonuses.

Tin Ore or
