Mining Guide

Hello all, sorry for not being able to post anything for so long. I am currently trying to recover my account which was hacked recently ): Well anyway, this Mining Guide will cover the basics of mining.

The Basics

Mining is one of the 24 Skills that you can train on. This is a skill where you can extract ore from different types of rocks, in which you can sell or smelt in to bars for Smithing.


Before you are able to start mining, you will need to aquire a Pickaxe, such as this one



Initially, you will only be able to use a Bronze Pickaxe. As your skill increases, you will be able to wield pickaxes of higher quality, making your mining alot easier.

Mining Sites

Mining sites can be found throughout RuneScape, each offering certain types of ores. You can find mining sites via World Map. Please note that some mining sites may not be shown, as they may be hidden in dungeons or secret paths.

Rocks

Different rocks contain different types of ores. You can identify them by colour, or simple right click on a rock and Prospect it. Also note that you will need a certain Mining Level to obtain different ores.

Once you have found the rock countaining the ore you wish to obtain, click on it to start mining. You will need to have your pickaxe in your inventory, or wielding it to be able to mine rocks. You will see your character starting to swing his/her pick at the rock. This is an automatic process. The speed at which you mine ores is based on a combination of your Mining Level and the type of Pickaxe you are using.

Ores

Once you have obtained your ores, you can sell them for a certain price, or smelt them into bars which are used for Smithing (into weapons or armour). I will post a Smithing guide soon (:
