How do you Mine?

First you need to get a Pick Axe. You can find a free Pick Axe in the Barbarian Village, or Rimmington. You can also buy one at the axe shop in Lumbridge, or mining shop in Dwarven Mine.

Then you need to find mine fields (places with rocks) and you have to RIGHT CLICK on a rock and choose prospect from the menu to check for possible ores. Your chance to find ore depends on your mining level and type of ore in the rock. If you are successful you will see the type of ore present in this rock patch in a message.

Select Pick Axe from your inventory and then LEFT CLICK on the rock containing the ore. Your chance of success to extract ore is based on your mining skill level.

You need the same smithing level to smith a metal as you need mining skill to mine it, thee is only exception Mithril which need 55 min.mining and only 50 smithing.

Tips:

  • One rock always generates the same type of ore.
  • Rocks regenerate ore after some time, so to mine fastest go mine one rock, and when you get some ore go to another rock. When you return to the first rock, it should have regenerated by then. There are some theories that timer is personalized as you can get ore in same time as other players from same rock !!
  • Tin, Copper and Iron regenerate max. every 1 min. (time depend on Number of players online)
  • Coal regenerates max. every 5 min. (time depend on Number of players online)
