Learn the essentials of RuneScape Mining! Discover ore types, experience gains, required levels, and what bars you can smith. Your journey to becoming a master miner starts here.

Hey there! So you're looking to get into Mining in RuneScape? Awesome choice! It's probably the most used skill in the game, and for good reason – it's a fantastic way to make some serious gold. You'll be digging up all sorts of ores, which you can then turn into bars and even use in the Smithing skill. Let's break down what you need to know to get started.

Here's a quick rundown of the ores you can find and what they're all about:

To get started, all you really need is a pickaxe and to head over to a mining spot. You'll notice there are two main types of rocks you'll be mining: Soft Rocks and Hard Rocks.

• Soft Rocks: These have a slower respawn time, but they won't make you tired as quickly.
• Hard Rocks: These are a bit easier to get ores from and respawn faster, but they'll increase your fatigue level pretty quickly.

Don't forget, the ores you mine can be smelted into bars, and then you can use those bars to craft all sorts of items in the Smithing skill. If you want to dive deeper into that, just scroll down to the Smithing Guide!
