Mining

the tap, tap sound of a pickaxe against a rock is all that's needed to get the day started. This handy skill allows you to get ores from a rock, which can be used in smithing or trading, and it can be quite profitable once you can mine some of the various kinds of metals.

The Basics
To begin mining, go to the General store in Edgeville and buy a bronze pickaxe.Once you have one, it's time to set out and find a place to mine. Start off going to the skilling teleport and click on Mining. After you get teleported there you will see the different types of ore.

Mining Ores
Now that you've found a place to mine, you can either jump right in and click on a rock to mine from, or you can prospect the rock. When you prospect a rock you will search for any ores inside and determine what type of ore is in the rock. This could take some time, so it's best to learn what color each different rock will be when it has ore in it. Now you can click on a rock to mine from it, and your character will keep mining until you obtain the ore.
