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]].

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.

Mining UI

Mining is a gathering skill that allows players to obtain ore used in Smithing. 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.

Uses

Mining Locations

There is currently a total of 8 Mining Locations available in the game:

Level Name EXP GP Base Time Base XP per Hour Possible Loot
1 Clay Pit 1-5 1-5 5.00 Seconds 1872 Copper Ore Tin Ore Clay Stone Sand
10 City Outskirts 1-15 1-20 8.00 Seconds 2048 Copper Ore Tin Ore Iron Ore Clay Stone Sand
20 Village 1-15 1-20 8.00 Seconds 4613 Iron Ore Stone Coal
30 Desert 1-50 1-100 12.00 Seconds 5867 Iron Ore Gold Ore Mithril Ore Clay Sand Silver Coal Rune Slate Salt
40 Underground 1-50 1-100 12.00 Seconds 7140 Iron Ore Gold Ore Mithril Ore Stone Silver Coal Rune Slate Salt
50 Hidden Mine 1-100 1-200 15.00 Seconds 10764 Gold Ore Mithril Ore Adamantite Ore Runite Ore Stone Silver Rune Slate
60 Volcano 1-100 1-200 15.00 Seconds 12840 Gold Ore Mithril Ore Adamantite Ore Runite Ore Silver Rune Slate
70 Deep Pit [Dangerous] 10-150 15-500 20.00 Seconds 12068* Gold Ore Runite Ore Stygian Ore Rune Slate
Greater Demon Greater Demon (Deep Pit) - - - - Gold Ore Rune Slate Air RuneEarth RuneFire RuneWater RuneBlood Rune
Death RuneChaos RuneNature RuneMind RuneCosmic Rune
Ashes Burnt Fish Scroll Ichor Book
Emerald Sapphire Diamond Black Opal Adamantite Boots Runite Boots Molten Ashes Infernal Flame Mysterious Seed Demonic Trial

*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:

Gathering Table

Ores

Copper Ore Item EXP GP Location(s) Found Highest Yield/Hour
Copper Ore Copper Ore 5 5 Clay Pit
Tin Ore Tin Ore 5 5 Clay Pit
Iron Ore Iron Ore 15 20 Village
Gold Ore Gold Ore 25 100 Underground
Mithril Ore Mithril Ore 50 75 Underground
Adamantite Ore Adamantite Ore 75 100 Hidden Mine
Runite Ore Runite Ore 100 200 Deep Pit
Stygian Ore Stygian Ore 150 500 Deep Pit

Drop Frequency

Copper Tin Iron Gold Mithril Addy Runite Clay Stone Sand Silver Coal Slate Stygian Salt Total
Clay Pit 20 20 40 10 10 100
City Outskirt 30 30 5 10 10 10 5 100
Village 50 25 25 100
Desert 9 5 20 3 20 20 10 9 10 106
Underground 5 25 20 5 15 5 15 10 100
Hidden Mine 10 10 35 5 10 20 10 100
Volcano 10 20 20 20 20 10 100
Deep Pit 25 50 25 10 110

Note that these numbers represent a frequency, that's why they sometimes add up to more than 100 in total.
To get percentage values, use the following formula: . i.e. Clay in Desert: (3 / 106) * 100 = 2.83%

Average Drop Per Hour

These numbers represent the number of each item you get per hour at base time

Copper Tin Iron Gold Mithril Addy Runite Clay Stone Sand Silver Coal Slate Stygian Salt
Clay Pit 144 144 288 72 72
City Outskirt 135 135 22.5 45 45 45 22.5

Desert 25.47 14.15 56.6 8.49 56.6 56.6 28.3 25.47 28.3
Underground 15 75 60 15 45 15 45 30
Hidden Mine 24 24 84 12 24 48 24
Volcano 24 48 48 48 48 24
Deep Pit 40.91 81.82 40.91 16.36


Gems

Gems are rare rewards received while mining, chance of receiving a gem can be boosted with the Scroll of the Prospector. Gems are used in Crafting and as a material while Augmenting.

Several Monsters drop gems, including Lesser Demons and Deadly Red Spiders . Gems 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.
