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
[edit]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.
| Ore | Mining level | Experience | Chance to empty the rock | Respawn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Clay |
1 | 25 | 9% | 2 seconds |
 Copper ore |
1 | 87.5 | 9% | 4 seconds |
 Tin ore |
1 | 87.5 | 9% | 4 seconds |
 Blurite ore |
10 | 87.5 | 9% | 8.5 minutes |
 Iron ore |
15 | 175 | 14% | 7 seconds |
 Silver |
20 | 200 | 17% | 70 seconds |
 Coal |
30 | 250 | 19% | 25 seconds |
 Gold |
40 | 325 | 24% | 70 seconds |
 Mithril ore |
55 | 400 | 29% | 110 seconds |
 Adamantite ore |
70 | 475 | 49% | 220 seconds |
 Runite ore |
85 | 625 | 79% | 15 minutes |
| Gem rocks (Shilo Village) | 40 | 325 | 39% | 2 minutes |
Rocks are shared: if another player empties a rock while you are mid-swing, that swing gets nothing.
Pickaxes
[edit]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.
| Pickaxe | Mining level to use | Success bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 1 | None |
| Iron | 1 | +1 |
| Steel | 6 | +2 |
| Mithril | 21 | +4 |
| Adamantite | 31 | +8 |
 Rune |
41 | +16 |
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
[edit]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
[edit]- 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.
