Mining
Mining is a gathering skill in Runic Ages that allows players to obtain ores, gems, rune essence and other resources through rocks. Mining's accompanying skill is Smithing.
Mechanics[edit]
To mine, players need a pickaxe and the required Mining level to use it.
Pickaxes[edit]
Pickaxes are the primary tool used in the Mining skill and must be equipped in the mainhand.
| Picxaxe | Mining Level |
|---|---|
| Bronze Pickaxe | 1 |
| Iron Pickaxe | 10 |
Rocks are the primary object players interact with in the Mining skill and appear as single block-large boulders with ore veins protruding. With a pickaxe in main-hand, players right-click on a rock to mine it. Success rate (and thus if the player receives ore) is dependent on both the player's Mining level and the pickaxe they wield.
Ore blocks are an alternative source of ore obtainable through the Mining skill and their generation height can range from surface exposure to deepslate level. Unlike rocks, ore blocks are not renewable with the exception of Rune Essence Ore.
Gem Drops[edit]
All rocks and ore blocks have a 1/128 (0.8%) chance to drop a random gem, improved to a chance of 1/86 (1.2%) when wearing a Ring of Luck. The type of gem dropped is random and may be an Emerald, Amethyst Shard, Lapis Lazuli, an Uncut Opal, an Uncut Sapphire or a Diamond. Players are more likely to receive the others more than a Diamond, however.
Stone Spirits[edit]
Stone Spirits are obtainable from loot-tables (replacing ore in loot-tables) if the config has modernrs enabled. As of the current version, only Copper Stone Spirits, Tin Stone Spirits, Iron Stone Spirits and Silver Stone Spirits are available.
