Mining Skill Guide
Mining Skill Guide is a guide for rs2b2t.
The mining skill is used to get ores and metals from rocks. The ores can then either be sold or made into different objects using the smithing and crafting skills.
| To mine, the only object you will need is a pickaxe. These can be bought at the pickaxe shop in the Dwarf Mines. Rocks can be found at the various mining sites in the RuneScape world. If you right click on a rock, you will get the option to prospect it. When you prospect a rock, you will be told what sort of ores you are able to mine from it. |
| To mine a rock simply click the "Mine" option on the rock, the first on in the list. If there is an ore in that rock there is a chance you will extract it, provided your mining is high enough to mine that particular ore. Ore is quite hard to get out of rocks - it might take quite a few attempts before you meet with success. As your mining level gets higher it will become slowly easier. Once someone has mined a rock there will be no ore available to get from it for a short while; wait a bit and you will be able to mine ore from it again. |
The Mining Guild
If you are level 60 or above in your mining skill then you can enter the Mining Guild which is in Falador.
The mining guild contains a number of items useful for miners, including coal rocks and mithril rocks. You will also have access to the main dwarven mines from here.
Pickaxes
The following is a table showing at what level you can wield the different Pickaxes. The better the Pickaxe, the more chance you have of sucessfully mining the ore.

|---|---|---|
| Bronze pickaxe | 1 | 1 gp* |
| Iron pickaxe | 1 | 137 gp |
| Steel pickaxe | 6 | 500 gp |
| Mithril pickaxe | 21 | 1,300 gp |
| Adamant pickaxe | 31 | 3,200 gp |
| Rune pickaxe | 41 | 32,000 gp |
- Bronze pickaxes spawn in a few locations across RuneScape: Barbarian Village - house with spinning wheel and Lumbridge Castle gatehouse ( 3rd floor )
| Players who have completed the Shilo Village quest will have access to some special rocks solely for mining gems from. These rocks contain Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds, Diamonds, Red Topaz, Opals, and Jade gems. |
