Mining

Mining is a gathering skill for extracting stone, ore, minerals and gems from the ground. Its products drive Smithing — copper, tin, iron, silver, gold and obsidian are all smelted or forged into tools, weapons and armour — while clay, salt, coal, sulfur and moonstone feed Cooking and Alchemy. No inputs are needed to mine; choose a rock and dig.

A few rich deposits have a chance to yield Raw Gemstone, a prized secondary drop.

How to progress

Each rock mined grants Mining experience and raises your Mining level. Higher-level nodes give more valuable ore and more XP but take longer to work. Run the highest-level node you can reach to level fastest.

Precious ores are found only in specific Biomes accessed through Expeditions; you must be in the listed biome to mine them. Nodes with no biome listed can be mined anywhere.

Actions

Action Level Interval (s) Biome Outputs XP
Quarry Stone 1 3.0 Stone 5

Chip Flint 10 3.5 Flint 9
Scrape Salt 18 4.0 Salt 15
Mine Copper 25 4.5 Copper Ore 22
Mine Tin 30 5.0 Tin Ore 26
Mine Coal 40 5.5 Coal 36
Mine Iron 50 6.5 Iron Ore 50
Harvest Sulfur 55 7.0 Scorched Badlands Sulfur 55
Mine Silver 62 7.5 Coral Shallows Silver Ore 63
Extract Crystal 75 9.0 Cavern Depths Crystal; Raw Gemstone (2%) 90

Quarry Obsidian 85 10.5 Ashen Peaks Obsidian; Raw Gemstone (3%) 115
Prise Moonstone 92 12.0 Skyreach Plateau Moonstone 145

Percentages show the chance of a bonus drop; unmarked items are produced every time. Intervals are base times before speed bonuses.
