Mining is a skill used to gather ore, 
Rune Essence, 
Pure Essence, and gems for use in many other skills.
Mechanics
Each Mining action takes 3 seconds. This time can be reduced by 5-50% by purchasing pickaxe upgrades, 15% by purchasing the

Eagle Synergy is active, 0.1s by wearing 
Dirty Mining Boots, and then by another 0.1s by being on the 
Terran Dungeon Ruins hex (0.2s when also owning 
Carthulu). Percentage reductions are applied prior to flat reductions, making it possible to reach the global minimum action time of 0.25s when sufficient reductions are active.
Ore amounts can be doubled by wearing 
Mining Gloves with active charges. Raising Mining to

Level 99 will unlock the 
Mining Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Mining Skillcape will give 1 bonus 
Coal Ore for every Mining action. The 
Superior Mining Skillcape, which becomes available once
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 120 has been reached, increases the bonus Coal Ore quantity to 2 while also providing +5% chance to find gem veins while mining.
Rock HP
Rock HP determines how many ores can be extracted from a rock before it has to respawn. Ore and essence rocks other than

Meteoritepassively regenerate HP at a rate of 1 every 10 seconds, stopping when a rock reaches its maximum HP. Regeneration does not occur while a rock is respawning after being fully depleted. For ore and essence rocks besides
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Meteorite, the maximum HP is calculated as follows:
[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% Error creating thumbnail: File missingMastery pool checkpoint has been reached
- +20 when both the Error creating thumbnail: File missingMole andError creating thumbnail: File missingBearError creating thumbnail: File missingSummoning synergy and Perfect Swing Potion is active

In addition, the following can be used to provide a chance to deal no damage to rock HP while Mining. Note that these bonuses work for ores or essence only, not gem veins.

Using these bonuses effectively increases a rock's HP to [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\text{Rock HP}}{1 - \text{Preserve Chance}} }[/math]. For example, a rock with a max HP of 12 while the 
Perfect Swing Potion III is being used will have an effective max HP of [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{12}{1 - 0.4} = 20 }[/math].
Due to passive rock HP regeneration, it is possible (given a sufficiently high maximum rock HP) to ensure a rock always has HP and never has to respawn, no matter how long it has been mined for. To achieve this, the player's chance to deal zero damage to ores must be at least [math]\displaystyle{ \left \lceil 1 - \frac{\text{Action Interval (seconds)}}{10} \right \rceil }[/math].
Therefore, the chance required in order to avoid respawns at the an interval of 0.85 seconds is [math]\displaystyle{ \left \lceil 1 - \frac{0.85}{10} \right \rceil = \left \lceil 0.915 \right \rceil = 0.92 = 92\% }[/math] or higher. Currently the maximum possible chance is 91% when the highest tier of 
Perfect Swing Potion and all other available bonuses are utilized.
Below lists the rock HP at various

Gem Veins
Gem veins do not regenerate naturally, but rather may be discovered at random when mining any ore after
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragonite. The chance of discovering a gem vein per mining action is 0.533%, which may be increased by 5% if the Superior Mining Skillcape is equipped, resulting in an overall chance of 0.56%.
The type and size of gem vein discovered is randomly determined. The discovered vein has an 85% chance of being 
Onyx, a 10% chance of being 
Oricha, and a 5% chance of being 
Cerulean. The size of the vein may be either small, medium, or large:
- Small veins are discovered with a 62.5% chance, having an HP between 5 and 15
- Medium veins are discovered with a 25% chance, having an HP between 10 and 25
- Large veins are discovered with a 12.5% chance, having an HP between 20 and 60
Meteorites
Meteorites can be discovered at random while studying any melvor constellation in
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology. When discovered, the HP of the meteorite rock will be increased by a random amount between 5 and 24 HP.
Starfalls
Starfalls can be discovered at random while studying any abyssal constellation in
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology. When discovered, the HP of Abycite, Mysticite, and Echocite will be increased by a random amount between 20 and 200 HP. Each rock will roll a different HP amount.

Gems
Normal Gems
Each Mining action has a 1% chance of discovering a random Normal Gem. The chance to receive gems when mining ores can be increased by using any Normal Gem Boosts, or can be guaranteed through the use of Gem Gloves.
If the 
Clue Chasers Insignia (or other similar items) is equipped, the chance to find Normal Gems is increased by a multiplicative 10% (For example, a 20% chance becomes [math]\displaystyle{ 20\% \times 1.1 = 22\% }[/math]). The chance to receive a Normal Gem is capped at 100%, so any bonuses above this limit have no effect.
While mining Pure Essence, there is a chance that a 
Runestone will be dropped instead of a Normal Gem. The chance of Runestone drops is not subject to the usual Normal Gem drop chance bonuses, and so the base chance of 1% may only be increased by using Clue Chasers Insignia and similar items.
All Normal Gem drops (including Runestones) may be doubled by using any Mining Doubling Boosts. Additionally, Normal Gem drop chances can be increased by using Normal Gem Boosts such as the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mole 
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus and/or 
Gem Finder Scroll - this additional gem also has a chance to be doubled. If the synergy is active while mining Pure Essence, then a Runestone will be obtained in place of a random Normal Gem.
Superior Gems
Superior Gems can drop from any Gem Vein (in addition to the gem provided by mining the Gem Vein) with a chance of 10% per action. This chance can be increased by any Superior Gem Boosts. Superior Gems may also drop while mining
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Meteorite, but only when a bonus to the chance to receive a Superior Gem is active, as the base chance is 0%.
If the Clue Chasers Insignia (or other similar items) is equipped, the chance to find Superior Gems is increased by 10% (For example, a 20% chance becomes [math]\displaystyle{ 20\% \times 1.1 = 22\% }[/math]).
Random Superior Gem drops cannot be doubled, nor does the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Abyssal Gems
Abyssal Gems can randomly drop from any Abyssal Rock and Outcrop in the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Realmwith a chance of 1% per action. This chance can be increased by any Abyssal Gem Boosts.
Abyssal Gems are a guaranteed drop while mining an Abyssal Gem node. Abyssal Gem nodes do not have a chance to randomly drop an additional Abyssal Gem however they can be doubled by using any Mining Doubling Boosts.
If the Clue Chasers Insignia (or other similar items) is equipped, the chance to find Abyssal Gems is increased by 10% (For example, a 20% chance becomes [math]\displaystyle{ 20\% \times 1.1 = 22\% }[/math]).
Random Abyssal Gem drops cannot be doubled, nor does the

Skill Boosts
Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:
- Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
- Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
- Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
- Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
- Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.
For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
Trivia
Prior to the release of V1.0, the source code file for the Mining skill was 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.
Upon release of V1.0, Mining became one of a small number of tick-based skills, at which point the source file was renamed once more to rockTicking.js.
