[glow=red,2,300]Mining[/glow]
The Basics
Mining is very useful and one of the best skills in the world of RuneScape because it is probably the easiest way to make money. Obviously, to increase your mining level, you will need to mine ore from rocks.
All the different ores come from different colored rocks that are roughly based on the ore, e.g. a mithril rock would be blue in color. If you do not know what ore is in a rock you can find out by prospecting it. To do this, right click on the rock and click Prospect. It will then say what ore is in the rock, providing there is one in it.
To mine a rock, click on it while you have a pickaxe in your inventory that you can use, based on the required mining level. As your mining level gets better, getting ore will become quicker and easier.
When you have mined a rock, the ore will disappear and the rock will become a light grey colour. You will have to wait for it to respawn before you can mine it again. Rocks that are harder to mine take longer to respawn, e.g. Runite will take the longest to respawn. Another thing that affects respawn time is how busy the world is: the more people logged in, the faster the respawn time.

Dwarven Stout
There is a way to temporarily raise your Mining level. Go to the bar in Falador, and talk to the barmaid. Order a Dwarven stout (they cost 3 gold coins each). When you drink it your Mining level will temporarily go up by 1, as will your Smithing level. Drinking the stout will also lower some levels, but they will restore within a few minutes. These are also available free in the Dwarven pass under the Wolf Mountains (must have completed Fishing Contest to access) between Taverley and Catherby.
Gems
Sometimes when you are mining, you will find a gem. These can either be sold or cut and used to craft amulets and the like. The higher the level needed to mine a rock, the higher the chance of finding a gem. You will also find more gems if you are wearing an enchanted dragonstone Amulet of Glory (members only). Members can mine gems at the Shilo Village mine inside the walls (must have completed Shilo Village Quest), which yields only gems (any gem from opals to diamonds).
Shilo Village Rocks (Members Only*)
This is a members-only feature. If you have completed the Shilo Village Quest you will have access to some new gem rocks. Mining each gem yields 65 mining experience. The rocks randomly yield uncut Jade, Opal, Red Topaz, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, or Diamond gems.
Mining Guild
The Mining guild is in Falador and is attached to the Dwarf Mines. You will need level 60 or higher Mining to get in. Inside, there are lots of coal rocks (about 36) and 5 mithril rocks.
Random Encounters
There are a few random encounters while mining. Occasionally a Rock golem will appear, which will attack you. Its' level is based on your combat level. Sometimes when you are mining, gas will start coming out of the rock, (it looks like large grey/green circles). If this happens, stop mining that rock because it will explode and break your pick. If your pick breaks, talk to Nurmof to get it fixed. He will charge you for this. Every now and again the head of your pick will fly off and land on the ground nearby. Pick it up and use it with the pickaxe handle to fix it. Giant worms; these will carry you out of a mine if you have been there too long! Last, but not least, sometimes rocks will get up and walk away.
Quest and Miscellaneous Mining
Some quests require mining. The Knight's Sword Quest requires you to mine Blurite ore (listed in table above). The Hero's Quest requires a Mining skill level of 50 in order to demolish some rocks in your path on the way to the Ice Queen's lair. The Legends Quest requires a Mining skill level of 50 in order to demolish some boulders in the path. The Regicide Quest requires you to mine Limestone to make Quicklime for a bomb.
A new Limestone Mine has opened east of Varrock on the Members-only path towards Canifis. It is located just north of the path, shortly before the Temple. Each Limestone rock can be mined 3 times before it is empty (and the respawn is quick). Mining Limestone earns 26.5 xp. [Use a chisel on it (6xp Crafting) to make a Limestone brick. Both are useful in the Shades of Mort'ton Quest.]
Tourist Trap
Mine: 'toublesome prisoners go to mine 'rock'. To get into the mine, you must attack the mercenary gaurding the cell. A message saying 'the gaurd looks very fierce, are you sure you want to attack him?' will appear, say 'Yes, i can take him!' and he will imprison you in the cell until you mine 15 'rock' for him (15 rock must be given to him in one go).
Mining the rock gives 1 experience to the mining skill. Prospect info - This rock contains unknown elements. Examine info of 'rock' after it has been mined - Looks like a plain rock, must have some ore in it?
Arzinian Gold Mine
Requirements: Must have completed "Between a Rock..." Quest
Items: Golden helmet, 4 Gp, and pickaxe
Highly Recommended: Ring of Charos(u)
Put on your golden helmet and talk to Dondakan. He'll fire you into the mine.
Mine 26 gold ore.
Unequip your helmet to leave.
Head east across the footbridge to a dwarf standing by a boat (called "Dwarven Boatman" in game, though I call him the "Banking Dwarf" in this guide).
Hand over your gold ore, which he'll bank for you.
Repeat 1-5 until you have all the gold you want.
Banking dwarf's price:
This dwarf takes one ore off the top and one more for every 5 gold ore you give him (rounded down).
26 is the maximum number of ore you can mine per trip. Don't forget to leave one spot open to unequip your helmet into when you want to leave.
The following table summarizes his price:
Number of Gold You Bring Cost
1 to 4 Gold Ores 1 Gold Ore
5 to 9 Gold Ores 2 Gold Ore
10 to 14 Gold Ores 3 Gold Ore
15 to 19 Gold Ores 4 Gold Ore
20 to 24 Gold Ores 5 Gold Ore
25 to 26 Gold Ores 6 Gold Ore
Why Should I Bring My "Ring Of Charos(u)"
This Ring provides two key benefits:
You don't need to pay to ferryman, so you can leave those 4 GP behind and carry one more gold per trip.
The banking dwarf will give you a discount on his services. See below:
Number of Gold You Bring Cost
1 to 9 Gold Ores 1 Gold Ore
10 to 19 Gold Ores 2 Gold Ore
20 to 27 Gold Ores 3 Gold Ore
Other Items
Some players recommend you bring a chisel and glory ammy. You can cut and drop gems you mine for a little extra crafting experience, but it costs you an inventory space.

Rocks that are harder to mine take longer to respawn, e.g. Runite will take the longest to respawn. Another thing that affects respawn time is how busy the world is: the more people logged in, the faster the respawn time.

When you drink it your Mining level will temporarily go up by 1, as will your Smithing level. Drinking the stout will also lower some levels, but they will restore within a few minutes. These are also available free in the Dwarven pass under the Wolf Mountains (must have completed Fishing Contest to access) between Taverley and Catherby.
Gems
Sometimes when you are mining, you will find a gem. These can either be sold or cut and used to craft amulets and the like. The higher the level needed to mine a rock, the higher the chance of finding a gem. You will also find more gems if you are wearing an enchanted dragonstone Amulet of Glory (members only). Members can mine gems at the Shilo Village mine inside the walls (must have completed Shilo Village Quest), which yields only gems (any gem from opals to diamonds).
Shilo Village Rocks (Members Only*)
This is a members-only feature. If you have completed the Shilo Village Quest you will have access to some new gem rocks. Mining each gem yields 65 mining experience. The rocks randomly yield uncut Jade, Opal, Red Topaz, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, or Diamond gems.
Mining Guild
The Mining guild is in Falador and is attached to the Dwarf Mines. You will need level 60 or higher Mining to get in. Inside, there are lots of coal rocks (about 36) and 5 mithril rocks.
Random Encounters
There are a few random encounters while mining. Occasionally a Rock golem will appear, which will attack you. Its' level is based on your combat level. Sometimes when you are mining, gas will start coming out of the rock, (it looks like large grey/green circles). If this happens, stop mining that rock because it will explode and break your pick. If your pick breaks, talk to Nurmof to get it fixed. He will charge you for this. Every now and again the head of your pick will fly off and land on the ground nearby. Pick it up and use it with the pickaxe handle to fix it. Giant worms; these will carry you out of a mine if you have been there too long! Last, but not least, sometimes rocks will get up and walk away.
Quest and Miscellaneous Mining
Some quests require mining. The Knight's Sword Quest requires you to mine Blurite ore (listed in table above). The Hero's Quest requires a Mining skill level of 50 in order to demolish some rocks in your path on the way to the Ice Queen's lair. The Legends Quest requires a Mining skill level of 50 in order to demolish some boulders in the path. The Regicide Quest requires you to mine Limestone to make Quicklime for a bomb.
A new Limestone Mine has opened east of Varrock on the Members-only path towards Canifis. It is located just north of the path, shortly before the Temple. Each Limestone rock can be mined 3 times before it is empty (and the respawn is quick). Mining Limestone earns 26.5 xp. [Use a chisel on it (6xp Crafting) to make a Limestone brick. Both are useful in the Shades of Mort'ton Quest.]
Tourist Trap
Mine: 'toublesome prisoners go to mine 'rock'. To get into the mine, you must attack the mercenary gaurding the cell. A message saying 'the gaurd looks very fierce, are you sure you want to attack him?' will appear, say 'Yes, i can take him!' and he will imprison you in the cell until you mine 15 'rock' for him (15 rock must be given to him in one go).
Mining the rock gives 1 experience to the mining skill. Prospect info - This rock contains unknown elements. Examine info of 'rock' after it has been mined - Looks like a plain rock, must have some ore in it?
Arzinian Gold Mine
Requirements: Must have completed "Between a Rock..." Quest
Items: Golden helmet, 4 Gp, and pickaxe
Highly Recommended: Ring of Charos(u)
Put on your golden helmet and talk to Dondakan. He'll fire you into the mine.
Mine 26 gold ore.
Unequip your helmet to leave.
Head east across the footbridge to a dwarf standing by a boat (called "Dwarven Boatman" in game, though I call him the "Banking Dwarf" in this guide).
Hand over your gold ore, which he'll bank for you.
Repeat 1-5 until you have all the gold you want.
Banking dwarf's price:
This dwarf takes one ore off the top and one more for every 5 gold ore you give him (rounded down).
26 is the maximum number of ore you can mine per trip. Don't forget to leave one spot open to unequip your helmet into when you want to leave.
The following table summarizes his price:
Number of Gold You Bring Cost
1 to 4 Gold Ores 1 Gold Ore
5 to 9 Gold Ores 2 Gold Ore
10 to 14 Gold Ores 3 Gold Ore
15 to 19 Gold Ores 4 Gold Ore
20 to 24 Gold Ores 5 Gold Ore
25 to 26 Gold Ores 6 Gold Ore
Why Should I Bring My "Ring Of Charos(u)"
This Ring provides two key benefits:
You don't need to pay to ferryman, so you can leave those 4 GP behind and carry one more gold per trip.
The banking dwarf will give you a discount on his services. See below:
Number of Gold You Bring Cost
1 to 9 Gold Ores 1 Gold Ore
10 to 19 Gold Ores 2 Gold Ore
20 to 27 Gold Ores 3 Gold Ore
Other Items
Some players recommend you bring a chisel and glory ammy. You can cut and drop gems you mine for a little extra crafting experience, but it costs you an inventory space.
