Learn how to mine ore in Old School RuneScape using a pickaxe on rocks. Discover ore prices and respawn times.
Mining is a fundamental skill in Old School RuneScape that nearly all players utilize. To mine, you need a pickaxe (various types exist) and you interact with rocks. If a rock has no color and is just gray, it contains no ore. Each rock has its own respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) time; Rune rocks take a very long time to respawn.
Tips
- Different pickaxes can be used for mining.
- Ores have different selling prices; Rune ore is the most valuable.
- Rocks without color are empty and will not yield ore.
- Be aware that each rock has a specific respawn time, with some, like Rune, taking a considerable amount of time to respawn.
