The [[Mining]] skill is used for Ores, Essence and gems. To start mining no requirements are needed.
==Training==
It is recommended to use {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} while leveling. They will provide a stream of gems that you can sell for profit. Keep {{ItemIcon|Emerald|Emeralds}} for {{ItemIcon|Emerald Bolts}} and {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} for {{Icon|Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck Potions}}.


=== Pickaxes ===
If you don't have money to buy {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}, either sell {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}, smelt and sell {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}}, or get money through the {{Skill|Fishing|notext=true}} [[Money Making##Fishing_.28Max_4.2C421k.2Fhr.29|Fishing money-making method]].
Upgrading your pickaxe should be done whenever you have the possibility to. The upgrades are available in the shop [https://wiki.melvoridle.com/index.php?title=Shop#Pickaxes Pickaxes].


It is also recommended to use any [[Mastery#The Mastery Pool|Mastery Pool]] experience to increase the {{Icon|Mastery}} level of nodes that you're about to mine to level 30. The {{Icon|Mastery}} level of a node increases the [[Mining#Rock HP|Rock HP]], greatly reducing the waiting time for the node to respawn. Later, it is more beneficial to save the pool experience for the [[Mining#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool]] bonuses.


=== Mastery ===
Follow the list below. Mine {{ItemIcon|Copper Ore}} and {{ItemIcon|Tin Ore}} in approximately equal amounts for {{Skill|Smithing}}, and keep all {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} for the same reason.

=== Equipment ===
We transition from {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore|Mithril}} directly to {{ItemIcon|Runite Ore|Runite}} because otherwise we stretch the mastery thin across the ores, which leads to more ore-respawn downtime, resulting in slower progression.


=== Gloves ===
==Boosters==
Mining offers two alternative Gloves. Which can be found in the [https://wiki.melvoridle.com/index.php?title=Shop#Gloves Gloves shop].

==== Mining > Runecrafting & Smithing ====
This way opens up the option to go for [[Smithing]] & [[Runecrafting]] afterwards. As you are leveling up your mining once done you can continue smithing and runecrafting. The key here is to get money for gem gloves. So a advice is to get  500k to purchase [[Gem Gloves]]. Some sort of money making is adviced to reach this. If need of money sell all gems to rebuy gloves. Diamonds are useful for late game however they can easily be stocked up later in the game.
 
==== 1-15 Copper/Tin ore ====
Mine either tin or copper.
 
==== 15-30 Iron ore ====
Mine iron until you unlock Coal.
 
==== 30-50 Coal ore ====
Mine coal until you unlock Mithril. All coal will be needed for the smithing grind.
 
==== 50-99 Mithril ore====
From here on the mission is to mine Mithril with Gem Gloves all the way.
 
Once 99 Mining is achieved you unlock the [[Mining Skillcape]]. This gives 1 Coal ore for each ore mined.
 
==== 99 Essence ====
With the Skillcape equipped you have to mine about 330K essence for 99 Runecrafting. The gem gloves does not work with Essence. If affordable the [[Mining Gloves]] are a good way to speed up.
 
==== 99 Coal ore ====
After you are done you will still need about 235k coal ore. Gem gloves are still recommended.
