Rock HP

Rock HP determines how many ores can be extracted from a rock before it has to regenerate. Maximum rock HP is calculated with this formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Rock HP}=5 + \text{Mastery Level} + \text{Bonus} }[/math]

Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Bonus} }[/math] starts at 0, increasing by:

  • +10 if the 95%

Pickaxes

Pickaxes are permanent upgrades purchased from the Shop that decrease the amount of time it takes to mine ore by their bonus speed percentage. In addition they provide a chance to double ores.

Ores

Higher tiers of ore are unlocked as the player's Mining level increases. Mining   Rune Essence yields double the amount of ore, however   Gem Gloves will not work when Mining it. To begin Mining   Dragonite Ore the player must have at least 270 Mining mastery levels in total.

Gems

Each Mining action has a 1% gem find chance, which is increased by 10% (to 1.10%) if the   Clue Chasers Insignia is equipped, or to 100% when wearing   Gem Gloves. The possible gem drops are shown in the table below:

 Ruby  17.5%555

Potion

The Perfect Swing Potion provides a chance to mine from a rock without lowering the rock's HP.

Trivia

The source code file for the Mining skill is called rockHitting.js, which is in contrast to other skills' source files which are named eponymously (i.e., woodcutting.js for Woodcutting). This used to be case for Mining as well[1], however it turned out that some browsers or extensions block a script called mining.js, likely in an attempt to prevent unwanted crypto mining, so the file was eventually renamed.
