<nowiki>*</nowiki>Time spent in combat is not included.

The [[Deep Pit]] is a dangerous location. While mining there, a [[Greater Demon]] will occasionally spawn and attack the player. This fight cannot be escaped from, and losing to the [[Greater Demon]] will lock the player out of the location for 15 minutes. It is recommended that the player have 50+ in all combat stats and a minimum of at least Adamantite (Although Runite is highly recommended) before mining in [[Deep Pit]]. 

===Mining Speed===
A player's mining speed for each location is determined based on the following formula:

<math>\Bigl(\frac{\text{Base Time}}{99 + \text{Effective Mining Level}}\Bigr)*100*\Bigl(1 - \text{Haste}%\Bigr)</math>

===Gems===
[[Gem]]s are rare rewards received while mining, chance of receiving a gem can be boosted with the [[Scroll of the Prospector]]. [[Gem]]s are used in [[Crafting#Gold|Crafting]] and as a material while [[Enchanting#Augmenting|Augmenting]].

Several [[Monster]]s drop [[gem]]s, including [[Lesser Demon]]s and [[Deadly Red Spider]]s .  [[Gem]]s can also be found by opening [[Chests]], using the [[Scroll of Refining]] enchantment while smithing or by using the [[Scroll of Root Digging]] while [[Foraging]].

When mining, the chance to obtain a gem is based on the base timer of the area. When hunting gems, it therefore doesn't matter which area is used.
