Editing Mining

[[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 and [[Geode]]s can be found in every location. 

==Uses==

*Ore can be smelted into bars through [[Smithing]]
*[[Gem]]s are used in [[Crafting]] and [[Enchanting#augmenting|Augmenting]]
*[[Rune Slate]]s are used in [[Runecrafting]]
*[[Geode]]s can be opened for a chance at ores, gems, additional geodes, or [[Runecrafting#talismans|talismans]]
*[[Salt]] is used in [[Cooking]]
*[[Clay]] and [[Sand]] can be used to create [[Fertilizer]]
*[[Stone]] has no current use - it's classified as a "junk drop" for the purposes of the [[Enchanting#List of Enchantments|Destructive Testing]] enchantment

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

''To get percentage values, use the following formula:'' <math>\Bigl(\frac{Frequency}{Total\;Frequency} * 100\Bigr)</math>. ''i.e. Clay in Desert: (3 / 106) * 100 = 2.83%''</blockquote>

===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.
