Mining

"Collect rocks of different kinds for various purposes"
== Mining ==
Mining is a skill where you use a pickaxe to get ore from various rocks around the world. In turn ores can be used to smith metal items with the smithing skill, build structures with the masonry skill, make runes with the runecrafting skill from rune stones, or to make products with the alchemy skill. 
=== Getting Started ===
There are two starter mines for mining bronze and iron. To the west of Immerbury is a cave underground which requires a spade to dig above ground to find, and a rope to climb down, which will be used up every once in a while so make sure you have an adequate amount of ropes. The Immerbury mine has copper, tin , and one iron rock so it is best for mining to make bronze bars in smithing. North of Immerbury there is a mine on a mountain which has copper, tin, and also two iron rocks with some coal. 
New players are given a stone pickaxe, however if you lose it you can craft another one by going to the mine north of Immerbury, picking up stones and clicking on them until you find a Pointy Stone, and then use them on the Mountain Wizard to create a Stone Pickaxe Head. You can then chop down a tree and use a knife on a log to make a tool rod, and attach the head to the tool rod. Stone pickaxes do not break. You can use Metal Ingots to make higher tier pickaxe heads, and attach them to Tool Rods to get better pickaxes.
== Useful Information Guide ==
The best places to mine for ores to make metal products are in PK (player-killing) enabled areas. The locations of the various mines are listed below under the "Mine Locations" section. Upon completion of the quest "Ship Together" the iron and coal mine in the Ruins of Hindsborough becomes a viable option as the player can then sail to Feuille and deposit their ore there. 
It is useful to have a wheelbarrow to increase your inventory size to a maximum of 48 spaces, or a horse and handcart so you can carry up to 68 ore per trip. 
With level 21 trainer, you can tame moles who can help you mine rocks. They can be found at the mine north of Immerbury, and the mine underneath the island north-west of Immerbury. 
Stone Pillars contain rune stones needed for runecrafting. They are located underneath the Immerbury Warehouse. 
Sandstone, Limestone, and Granite are rocks used for masonry to build structures.

== Training Mining ==
=== Copper/Tin (1-10) ===
Mine Copper and Tin until you're level 10. 
The best mine to mine copper and tin is underneath the island north-west of Immerbury 
=== Iron (10-99) ===
You can start mining iron at level 10. Iron gives decent xp spawns very fast, and is very resourceful for smithing. 
=== Coal (30-99) ===
Mining large coal deposits is very beneficial for smithing (when exchanged for charcoal) and is good xp since large coal deposits can carry more than one ore per rock.
