Editing Mining

'''Mining''' in Revival RSC is far less click-heavy than the original: rocks give several ores before running out, better pickaxes genuinely mine better, and there are new rocks to find.

This page covers what is '''new or different in Revival RSC'''. Everything else about the skill works as it did in the original RuneScape Classic.

== Rocks last longer ==
In the original game a rock was emptied by every ore. Here each ore only has a '''chance''' of emptying the rock, so a single rock usually gives several ores in a row. Like the other gathering skills, one click keeps going by itself – see [[batched skilling]] for how many actions you get at each level.

Rocks are '''shared''': if another player empties a rock while you are mid-swing, that swing gets nothing.

== Pickaxes ==
In the original game a better pickaxe simply swung more times per click. Now that clicks repeat by themselves, a better pickaxe instead makes '''every swing more likely to succeed'''. The level needed to use each pickaxe has not changed.

The bonus acts like extra Mining levels when the game decides whether a swing succeeds. It does not apply at gem rocks. Prospecting a rock never fails.

== Finding gems ==
Every successful swing has a '''1 in 200''' chance to turn up an uncut gem in place of the ore – doubled to 1 in 100 while wearing a charged dragonstone amulet. It is most often a sapphire, then an emerald, a ruby and occasionally a diamond. Finding a gem ends your current batch and gives no Mining experience.

== New rocks ==
* The '''Mining Guild''' has extra rocks: two gold, three adamantite and one runite.
* The '''[[rune stone]] rock''' in the rune stone mine, reached through [[Runecraft]], can be mined with any pickaxe at any level. It never runs out and fills your whole inventory in one click, giving 25 experience per stone.
