Mining

Mining is a skill that allows you to extract ores and gems. Ores can be processed into bars with the Smithing skill. With higher Mining levels, you'll have access to more ores, better pickaxes, and special skilling equipment that can boost your mining efficiency. You can also receive mining chests as a rare drop from training this skill.
