Mining: Difference between revisions

{{v0.15}}

Mining is used for mining ore, rune essence, and gems. Each mining action takes 3 seconds, and can be reduced by pickaxe upgrades. Purchasing the [[Master of Nature]] god upgrade reduces this time by 20%. These reductions are multiplicative with eachother. Ore and rune essence amounts can be doubled by wearing [[Mining Gloves]] with active charges. Raising mining to level 99 will unlock the [[Mining Skillcape]] for purchase from the [[Shop]]. Equipping the [[Mining Skillcape]] will give 1 bonus [[Coal Ore]] for every mining action.

Mining [[Mastery]] has two bonus effects. Every 10 levels it gives it adds a cumulative 1% chance of getting 2 ores instead of 1; this effect is additive with the pickaxe bonus. Each level of Mining mastery also increases rock HP.

Rock HP determines how many ores can be extracted from a rock before it has to regenerate. Maximum rock hp is calculated with this formula:

<math> \text{Rock HP}=\text{Mastery Level} + 5 </math>

[[Herblore#Skill_Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] can be used to give a 10-80% chance to not lower rock hp while mining.

Higher tiers of ore are unlocked as the player's mining level increases. Mining [[Rune Essence]] yields double the amount of ore, however [[Gem Gloves]] will not work when mining it. To begin mining [[Dragonite Ore]] the player must have at least 270 mining [[mastery]] levels in total.

Each mining action has a 1% gem find chance, which is increased to 100% when wearing [[Gem Gloves]]. The possible gem drops are shown in the table below:
