Mining is a skill that allows players to obtain ores from rocks. The higher a player's Mining level and the tier of their pickaxe, the more likely they are to successfully extract ore. Ores are used in Smithing to create bars.

You can purchase pickaxes from Master Smelter in the skilling zone, or get them as drops from monsters.

Ores

All ores can be found in the skilling zone (green teleporter at home).

Dragon ore can also be found at ::redwoods

Pickaxes

Pickaxes are needed to mine rocks. They can be equipped as a weapon, giving players one extra space in their inventory. Higher level pickaxes grant more frequent opportunities to obtain an ore from a rock, but have no effect upon the chance of successfully doing so.

You can purchase pickaxes from Master Smelter in the skilling zone, or get them as drops from monsters.

A player's Mining level determines the type of pickaxe they can mine with. A player's Attack level determines if you can equip it or not.


Level
Pickaxe Req. to equip
1 Bronze pickaxe 1
1 Iron pickaxe 1
6 Steel pickaxe 5
21 Mithril pickaxe 20
31 Adamant pickaxe 30
41 Rune pickaxe 40
61 Dragon pickaxe 60
61 Infernal pickaxe 60
81 Crystal pickaxe 1
85 Celestial pickaxe 1

Infernal pickaxe

The Infernal pickaxe is a special pickaxe that requires level 61 Mining to use. It is created by using a Smouldering stone on a Dragon pickaxe, requiring level 61 Mining and level 85 Smithing to create. Mining rocks with it equipped or in the inventory will give a 1/3 chance for the ore to automatically combust. This will consume the ore and will grant some Smithing experience, 2.5 times lower than the amount that would usually be gained when creating a bar from the ore, without requiring coal.
