Mining is a gathering skill that allows players to extract ores, essence, gems, and other resources from rocks throughout Arigon. These ores can be used in artisan skills later, to create numerous armours, jewelry, and runes.
Pickaxes[edit | edit source]
Pickaxes are your main tool to train mining. The higher the level of the pickaxe, the faster you will mine ores. Bronze through Dragon pickaxes can be bought at the Skilling Store, where Gilded dragon through Primal pickaxes are made in the Salvaging Upgrader.

Mining Sites[edit | edit source]
Mining site at ::SZ
This site provides 13 ore options, ranging from clay to Primal. Talk to the Snowman miner to change what ore will be mined from the Infinity rocks. Note that the Snowman may throw snow at you, this will cancel the action and you will have to click the rock to continue mining.
Mining site at ::DZ
This site provides 6 ore options: Gem, Iron, Coal, Mithril, Adamantite, and Runite. The added advantage here is that the Snowman isn't there to interrupt your skilling.
Burnt ore
After the Corpse Cleaner quest, you can mine Burnt ore. You mine this ore along the walls of the Mage Bank arena, like in the quest.
Useful Tips[edit | edit source]
- Skill of The Hour
- Changing every hour, the Skill of The Hour grants an experience boost of 25% ecumenically in a designated skill.
- Pool of Prosperity
- The Pool of Prosperity is an object in the game located at home. When filled, it grants an experience boost of 10% to all players for its duration.
- Skill Pass
- A Dragon pickaxe can also be claimed 1 time by completing the Skill pass for mining 100 Red sandstone.
- Shooting Star
- Every hour a shooting star will appear which players can mine. This will disappear quickly, so if you're interested in mining it make sure you get there as soon as you see the notification. If you manage to mine the star in time, you can trade the stardust in once the star has been mined for some good cash or for gem bags.
