Gloves
Mining offers two gloves that can be purchased from the Shop:
| Gloves | Price | Boost |
|---|---|---|
 Gem Gloves |
500,000
|
Guaranteed gem drops with every mining action, aside from  Rune Essence.Gives a small profit if you sell gems. A viable starting money-making strategy for  Adventure.
|
 Mining Gloves |
75,000
|
Increases the base mined quantity to 2 for ores and to 4 for Rune Essence. The gains can then be doubled by again by other means such as mastery. |
Preparation
Throughout the whole leveling process, it is recommended to have Gem Gloves on you with charges. It will provide a stream of gems that you can sell for profit. Keep 
Emeralds for 
Emerald Bolts and 
Diamonds for 
Diamond Luck potions.
If you don't have money to buy Gem Gloves, either sell 
Mithril Ore, smelt and sell 
Gold Bars, or get money through the 
Fishing money-making method.
It is also recommended to use any 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 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 Mastery pool checkpoint bonuses.
Training
Follow the list below. Mine 
Copper Ore and 
Tin Ore in approximately equal amounts for Smithing, and keep all 
Coal Ore for the same reason.
| Level | Ore |
|---|---|
| 1-15 | Copper Ore or Tin Ore
|
| 15-30 |  Iron Ore
|
| 30-50 | Coal Ore
|
| 50-70 | Mithril Ore
|
| 70-80 |  Adamantite Ore
|
| 80-99 |  Runite Ore
