Mining is a gathering skill that allows players to obtain ore used in Smithing. It is the only source of Geodes, Silver, and Rune Slates. Mining is also a source of gems and Salt. Each mining location provides different possible loot, but gems and Geodes can be found in every location.
The Deep Pit is a dangerous location, meaning the player may sometimes get attacked by a Greater Demon when mining there (Recommended gear is adamantite/runite with a recommended level of 50 for all combat stats). This fight cannot be escaped from, and losing to the Greater Demon locks the player out of the location for 30 minutes.
The action timer for mining can be sped up by leveling up, equipping a pickaxe, or using the Haste enchantment.
Uses
- Ore can be smelted into bars through Smithing.
- Gems are used in Crafting and Augmenting.
- Rune Slates are used in Runecrafting.
- Geodes can be opened for a chance at ores, gems, additional geodes, or talismans.
- Salt is used in Cooking.
- Clay, Stones, and Sand have no current uses; they are classified as "junk drops" for the purposes of the Destructive Testing enchantment.
