{{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}} can be worn to increase the chances of [[Mastery Tokens|mastery tokens]] and [[Mining#Gems|gem]] drops.
It should be noted that the results of {{Skill|Smithing}} are used in other methods, so unless you need to unlock some item to craft it, there is no need to rush {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}}.


Mining offers two gloves that can be purchased from the [[Shop#Gloves|Shop]]:

|}


== Preparation ==
If you have some other leftover ores, the general approach is to smelt bars and then use most of them per craft by smithing platebodies if they're unlocked. You can smith other items - it will just take longer because the XP per used bar is always the same.


Throughout the whole leveling process, it is recommended to have {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} on you with charges. It will provide a stream of gems that you can sell for profit.<br>
The method below assumes that you have {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}. If you don't have it yet, please refer to [[Mining/Training]].<br>
Keep {{ItemIcon|Emerald|Emeralds}} for {{ItemIcon|Emerald Bolts}} and {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} for {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|notext=true}} [[Diamond Luck Potion|Diamond Luck potions]].
The idea of the method is to make items that take most bars per craft.


If you don't have money to buy {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}, either sell {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}, smelt and sell {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}}, or get money through the {{Skill|Fishing|notext=true}} [[Money Making|Fishing money-making method]].
# Mine ores
# Smelt bars
# Make items that eat most bars. The best one is the highest available Platebody. Stop on {{ItemIcon|Rune Platebody}} and do it until {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}}.<br>Use {{ItemIcon|Smithing Gloves}} if you can afford to maintain charges above zero.
# If you have not enough coal and will need {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} in the future, mine it with {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}. Otherwise mine {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} with it.<br>Use {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} if you can afford to maintain charges above zero.
# Sell created platebodies.


It is also recommended to use any [[Mastery#The Mastery Pool|Mastery Pool]] experience to increase the [[Mastery]] level of nodes that you're about to mine to level 30. The Mastery level of a node increases the [[Mining#Rock HP|Rock HP]], greatly reducing the waiting time for the note to respawn because the nodes will have increasingly larger respawn times the higher you level. Later, it is more beneficial to save the pool experience for the [[Mining#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]] bonuses.
The table below shows how many bars you need to smelt and then use to create items with in order to reach the next threshold. The {{ItemIcon|Steel Bar}} is skipped because it triples the mining time, and you're likely to overmine something with such short timings.


== Training ==
{{SpoilerBox|text=
The number of bars was calculated by using the "Melvor Idle Rate & Resource Calculator" by Kidbiz20 from [[Spreadsheets_and_Theorycrafting]] and then adjusting the number from the column "Resources to Level X" by the fact that we account for the XP from the bars that are need for the items. For instance, to go from level 40 to 55, you need {{ItemIcon|Mithril Bar|qty=2589|Mithril Bars}} if you craft items. If you account for the XP from the required bars then it's<br>
<math>x\times 50 + x\times35 = 2589\times 50</math>,<br>
<math>x = 1523</math>.


Level 1-15: Mine either {{ItemIcon|Tin Ore}} or {{ItemIcon|Copper Ore}}. Ideally in equal amounts so you later smelt {{ItemIcon|Bronze Bar|Bronze Bars}} from them.

Level 15-30: {{ItemIcon|Iron Ore}}.
=== Useful Items method ===


Level 30-50: {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}}. Don't sell it because you will need a lot of it for {{Skill|Smithing}}.
The idea of this method is to create the items that you will use to buy things or level other skills.  


Level 50-70: {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}.
The table below provides notable examples where the bars can be used.
