Mining is a skill in RuneScape Classic that allows players to mine rocks and obtain various ores and minerals. Ores can be smelted into bars and then forged into armour and weapons.
Pickaxes
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 they are trying to mine with one click.
Pickaxes can be bought from Nurmof's Pickaxe Shop in the Dwarven Mine. Bronze Pickaxes can also be bought from various General Stores and other shops.
Image | Pickaxe | Level | # of Swings | Price |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bronze pickaxe | 1 | 1 | 1 coin | |
Iron pickaxe | 1 | 2 | 140 coins | |
Steel pickaxe | 6 | 3 | 500 coins | |
Mithril pickaxe | 21 | 5 | 1,300 coins | |
Adamantite pickaxe | 31 | 8 | 3,200 coins | |
Rune pickaxe | 41 | 12 | 32,000 coins |
Rocks
Unlike in RuneScape 2, 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".

Gems
While mining rocks for ores, players may randomly find an uncut gem which include sapphires, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. Finding a gem from regular rock gives no Mining experience. Mining gem rocks found in Shilo Village is a faster way to obtain uncut gems, but the mine can only be accessed after completing the Shilo Village quest.
The higher level rocks have greater likelihood of finding a gem and wearing Charged Dragonstone Amulet also increases the chance.
Uncut gems can be used in the Crafting skill to create various pieces of jewellery.
Certing
