Mining

Mining is a skill that allows players to extract ores and rune essence from rocks in mines throughout Katagon. Mined ores can be smelted at a furnace, turning them into bars that can be made into metal objects using the Smithing skill.

How To Mine
To mine, players need a pickaxe (the better the pickaxe and Mining level the quicker it is to mine the ores) that they can use with their Mining level. Once you have aquired a pickaxe, make your way to the Artisan. He'll give you the option to go to the Mining Guild, Essence Mine, or Living Rock Caverns. When first starting out, you can go to the Mining Guild or Essence Mine to mine rune essence, which is used in the Runecrafting skill. As a new miner, the Living Rock Caverns are not applicable until you've reached 77 mining for Concentrated ore.

Pickaxes
The pickaxes used in mining can be equipped like a weapon, giving players one more space in their inventory. A player's Mining level determines the type of pickaxe they can mine with, while their Attack level determines whether they can wield it. They are sold from Bob or at the Grand Exchange. For players who wish to mine without raising their Attack level, as long as the pickaxe is in the inventory, you don't actually need to equip it to use it.

Ores
Below are a list of the available ores to mine along with the mining level required to mine them. Also included are the locations in which to mine the ores:

Mining Guild
The Mining Guild has every ore availible, with the exception of Silver and Runite. To access the guild, talk to the Artisan.

Essence Mine
There are two locations in which mining essence is available. The first is accessed by talking to the Artisan, clicking Mining, then Essence Mine. The other location is west of the bank at Yanille, into the Mages Guild, down the ladder.

Living Rock Caverns
LRC is a great way to get your mining skill up once you have reached level 77 to mine Concentrated Coal. Once you reach level 80 Concentrated Gold is available. The mining locations for both change, so at a specific time you may be mining gold and all of a sudden it may switch to coal. This then makes it so you have to walk around the cavern in order to find the vein that you want to mine.
