Mining is a skill in RuneScape Classic that allows players to mine rocks and obtain various ores and minerals. Ores can then be smelted into bars and then smithed into armour and weapons.

For training this skill, see the Mining Training article.

PickaxesEdit

Before attempting to mine a rock, a player must have a pickaxe. The higher the level the pickaxe, the more swings the player will automatically take at the rock you are trying to mine with one click.

Pickaxes can be bought from the Nurmof in the Dwarven Mine.

Image	Pickaxe	Level	Price
	Bronze pickaxe	1	1 coin
	Iron pickaxe	1	140 coins
	Steel pickaxe	6	500 coins
	Mithril pickaxe	21	1300 coins
	Adamant pickaxe	31	3200 coins
	Rune pickaxe	41	32000 coins

MineralsEdit

Unlike modern RuneScape, attempting to mine a rock containing ore you do not have the mining level for does not warn you that you cannot mine it. You will instead receive the message "You only succeed in scratching the rock".

OreEdit

Image	Ore	Level	Experience
	Clay	1	5
	Copper ore	1	17.5
	Tin ore	1	17.5
	Blurite ore	10	17
	Iron ore	15	35
	Silver ore	20	40
	Coal	30	50
	Gold ore	40	65
	Mithril ore	55	80
	Adamantite ore	70	95
	Runite ore	85	125

Iron ore, silver ore, coal, gold ore and mithril ore can be exchanged for certificates at Draynor Village market to trade bulk amounts of ore easier and faster.

GemsEdit

While mining rocks for ores, players may randomly mine an uncut gem which include sapphires, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. Mining a gem through these rocks gives 1 mining experience. Mining gem rocks found in Shilo Village is a more efficient way to obtain uncut gems but can only be accessed after completing the Shilo Village quest. Mining a gem rock requires level 40 mining and gives 50 mining experience.

Uncut gems can be used in the crafting skill to create various pieces of jewelry.
