Each Mining action takes 3 seconds. This time can be reduced by 5-50% by purchasing [[#Pickaxes|pickaxe upgrades]], 15% by purchasing the {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}} god upgrade, 3% with the {{Skill|Agility|Elite Pillar of Expertise}}, 2% with {{PetIcon|Harold}}, 0.2 seconds by reaching the 50% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]], and then by another 0.2 seconds while the {{ItemIcon|Mole}} + {{ItemIcon|Eagle}} [[Synergy]] is active. The percentage reductions are applied before the flat reductions, resulting in the lowest possible action time of 0.55 seconds when all reductions are active.

Ore and rune essence amounts can be doubled by wearing {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} with active charges. Raising Mining to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. Equipping the [[Mining Skillcape]] will give 1 bonus {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} for every Mining action. The {{ItemIcon|Superior Mining Skillcape}}, which becomes available once {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}} has been reached, increases the bonus [[Coal Ore]] quantity to 2 while also providing +5% chance to find gem veins while mining.

Using these bonuses effectively increases a rock's HP to <math>\frac{\text{Rock HP}}{1 - \text{Preserve Chance}}</math>. For example, a rock with a max HP of 12 while the {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion III}} is being used will have an effective max HP of <math>\frac{12}{1 - 0.4} = 20</math>.

Higher tiers of ore are unlocked as the player's Mining level increases. The quantity received from any rock is doubled when {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are in use. Normal gems can be guaranteed to drop from any ore when {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} are used, however they have no effect when used while mining essence or gem veins.

Each Mining action on ores or {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}} has a 1% chance of discovering a random normal gem. For ores (excluding [[Pure Essence]]) this chance can be increased by any 'Chance to receive gems from Mining' bonuses such as that from {{Icon|Terra|type=constellation}}, or can be guaranteed through the use of {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}. If the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}} is equipped, then this chance is increased by 10% of its current value (For example, a 20% chance becomes <math>20\% \times 1.1 = 22\%</math> when Clue Chasers Insignia is equipped). The chance to receive a gem is capped at 100%, so any bonuses above this limit have no effect.
===Normal Gems===
Each Mining action on ores has a 1% chance of discovering a random normal gem. This chance can be increased by any bonuses to the chance to receive gems from Mining such as that from {{Icon|Terra|type=constellation}}, or can be guaranteed through the use of {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}. If the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}} is equipped, then this chance is increased by 10% (For example, a 20% chance becomes <math>20\% \times 1.1 = 22\%</math>). The chance to receive a gem is capped at 100%, so any bonuses above this limit have no effect.


The {{ItemIcon|Mole}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] may also be used for a 15% chance to receive an additional gem of any type whenever a gem is dropped while Mining.
While mining {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}}, there is a chance that a {{ItemIcon|Runestone}} will be dropped instead of a normal gem. The chance of [[Runestone]] drops is not subject to the usual normal gem drop chance bonuses, and so the base chance of 1% may only be increased to 1.1% while wearing the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}}.


Any gems dropped (including {{ItemIcon|Runestone|Runestones}}) may be doubled if any global or Mining specific item doubling bonuses apply. The {{ItemIcon|Mole}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] may also be used for a 15% chance to receive an additional normal gem of any type whenever a normal gem is dropped while Mining - this additional gem also has a chance to be doubled.
===Superior Gems===
Superior gems can drop from any gem vein (in addition to the gem provided by mining the vein) with a chance of 10% per action. This chance can be increased by any things providing a bonus to the chance to receive a quality superior gem. Superior gems may also drop while mining {{Icon|Meteorite Ore|Meteorite|type=rock|img=Meteorite}}, but only when one of the aforementioned bonuses is active, as the base chance is 0%.
