===== Mining =====

Mining is a skill that allows the extraction of ores from rocks. A higher Mining level provides a higher chance of success when swinging at rocks.

===== Pickaxes =====

All pickaxes, except the Inferno adze, can be bought at [[skill_guides:mining:shop:nurmof|Nurmof's Pickaxe Shop]] in the Dwarven Mines. [[area_guides:keldagrim:tati|Pickaxe-Is-Mine]] in Keldagrim also stocks Bronze, Steel, Mithril, Adamant, and Rune pickaxes for the same price. The Inferno adze is rewarded from the [[quest_guides:all_fired_up|All Fired Up]] minigame.


^ Pickaxe ^ Mining Level ^ Cost ^
| Bronze | 1 | 1 |
| Iron | 1 | 147 |
| Steel | 6 | 525 |
| Mithril | 21 | 1,365 |
| Adamant | 31 | 3,360 |
| Rune | 41 | 33,600 |
| Inferno adze | 41 | All Fired Up |


===== Shooting Stars =====

Shooting Stars crash periodically around 2009scape. There are 9 tiers, 1-9, with a Mining level of the tier x 10 is required to mine it. See [[activities:shooting_stars|Shooting Stars]].

===== Quests =====

The following quests have a Mining level requirement:


^ Quest  ^ Level ^
| [[quest_guides:the_lost_tribe|The Lost Tribe]] | 17 |

<WRAP center round tip 60%>
*****42 Mining is needed to use the shortcut to the Chaos Altar, but is not required if using the Abyss.
</WRAP>


Some quests require items that can be obtained through Mining. This is usually the concern of Ironmen.

| [[quest_guides:the_knights_sword| The Knights' Sword]] | 15 Mining is required for Iron bars, unless it is sourced elsewhere |


The following quests award Mining experience:

^ Quest ^ x1 ^ x2.5 ^ x5 ^
| [[quest_guides:dorics_quest|Doric's Quest]] | 1,300 | 3,250 | 6,500 |
