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.

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.

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.

Celestial pickaxe

The Celestial pickaxe is a special pickaxe that requires level 85 Mining to use. it is created by combining a Celertial stone with the Crystal pickaxe. The Celestial pickaxe mines slightly faster than the Crystal pickaxe, it has 1/6 chance to get a noted ore while mining, and a 1/5 chance of receiving an extra Stardust when mining Shooting stars.
