Mining Mining is a skill that allows players to obtain ores and gems from rocks. The higher a player's Mining level is the more likely they are to successfully extract ore. With ores, a player can then either smelt bars and make equipment using the Smithing skill or sell them for profit.

Equipment

The only item required to mine is a pickaxe. A certain attack level is required to wield one, but players are still able to use the pickaxe to mine without the Attack level requirement. Players should use the best pickaxe available for the fastest mining speed.

Using an infernal pickaxe will give a 1/3 chance for the ore to automatically combust, which will consume the ore. This reduces the number of ores that need to be dropped, and also grants some passive Smithing experience. Making an infernal pickaxe requires level 85 Smithing, and it can be charged with dragon pickaxes or smouldering stones. This effect can apply to all standard ores, sandstone, red sandstone, and Zalcano tephra. NOTE: Red sandstone and Tephra products will not be destroyed.

The crystal pickaxe has the fastest mining speed, and it should be used if the player has enough crystal shards for it.
