The basicsWhen you have a pickaxe you have to find a mining spot. There are many mining spots all around Runescape, but all the main spots have a pickaxe 'sign' on the mini map, so you can easily recognise one.The sign looks like this: When you are arrived at a mining spot you'll see that not every rock is the same, so first before you're going to mine you'll have to prospect the rock (unless you already know what's in the rock), this way you'll find out what's in the rock. To prospect a rock you have to right click and then prospect rock.When you've prospected the rock, and you know what kind of ore is in it, it's time to mine the rock. To mine the rock just left click on the rock and you'll start mining. There are for every kind of ore different levels required to mine, and not every ore can be mined on the same mining spot, so you have to train before you can mine better ores. This are the levels required to mine the ores, and the experience gained from mining it:
