'''[[File:iron_pickaxe.png|200px|right|middle|thumb|Mining Icon]]Mining''' is a [[skill]] that allows players to obtain ores and [[gems]] from rocks. With ores, a player can then either smelt [[bars]] and make [[equipment]] using the [[Smithing]] skill or sell them for profit.<br />
[[File:Mining UI.jpg|Mining UI|thumb|right|500x500px|alt=]]
 
'''Mining''' is a gathering skill that allows players to obtain ore used in [[Smithing]]. Mining is also a source of [[Mining#Gems|Gems]] and [[Salt]]. Each mining location provides different possible loot, but gems, [[Geode]]s and [[Greater Geode]]s can be found in every location.

==How to mine==
 +
To mine, a player will first need a [[pickaxe]]. As a player is mining a location, they will eventually obtain an ore (or a [[gems]]tone). This ore can either be used in the [[Smithing]] [[skill]] or it can be sold.
  
There are currently a total of 9 Mining Locations available in the game:

<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]].  
+
Different areas will give different types of ore, but each area can drop every type of gems and geode.  
  
===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>
+
Some areas will have ores that requires a higher level than the area it is in, in this case, players are able to mine in the area but will only receive ores they meet the requirements for.

==Mining location drop table==
[[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.
