Mining
You can train Mining using [[/mine name:ore]]. If no quantity is specified, it will default to a full trip. Using the powermine option will result in no ores being obtained, but provides significantly faster mining xp rates.
/mine name:Runite ore quantity:50
/mine name:Iron ore powermine:true
Fastest Route to 99
This is the fastest method to obtain 99 mining. It yields almost no profit since it's all done via powermining.
1-15: Powermine Copper/Tin 15-45: Powermine Iron 45-99: Powermine Granite
While you can obtain the prospector's outfit from Motherlode mine with golden nuggets (fastest method), the time spent to obtain the outfit is negligible against overall time to get to 99.
Profitable Route to 99
1-15: Powermine Copper/Tin
15-37: Powermine Iron
37-50: Mine Volcanic ash
50-71: Mine Iron (For use of Crystal pickaxe)
PICK N MIX UNTIL 99
Mine Gold ore (fastest and quite profitable)
Mine Gem rocks (best pet chance but much less profitable)
Mine Amethyst from 92-99 (with expert mining gloves)
Zalcano (12-16k xp/hr)
Pickaxes
All pickaxes in the bot will provide a specific increase to your chance of mining ores (i.e. mining speed). The best pickaxe to use is a Crystal pickaxe (Lvl 71) with the second-best being a Dragon, Infernal, or 3rd Age pickaxe (Lvl 61). Gilded pickaxes perform the same as a rune axe. The Crystal pickaxe does not degrade and the Infernal pickaxe does not smelt ores while mining. Pickaxes do not need to be equipped for the bonus to apply.
Mining Guild
If you have at least 60 Mining, the ore you are mining provides minerals, and the rock is located within the Mining guild, you will gain an invisible +7 mining levels. This will grant a small increase to the speed in which you will mine ores. This boost does not let you use higher level pickaxes or mine higher level ores. You cannot get gold nuggets from mining within the guild.
- Ores in Guild - Iron, Coal, Gold, Mithril, Adamant, Runite, Amethyst
Powermining
Using this filter when mining ores allows your minion to reach much higher xp rates, at the expense of not receiving any ores from your trip. For ironmen, it may be beneficial to mine normally so they can use the ores for early smithing or crafting levels. You will still receive minerals and clues when powermining. You cannot receive golden nuggets from powermining as it is not allowed in Motherlode mine.
Gold & Silver Ore
If you have 99 crafting, you will get a significant 70% boost to your trip time, due to using the bank at the crafting guild. This applies only when mining gold and silver ores. You cannot recieve gold nuggets from mining gold or silver ores, rather only from Motherlode mine.
Celestial Ring/Signet
The Celestial ring or signet will provide an invisible +4 mining levels. It does not have to be charged for the boost to apply. It can also be equipped anywhere or left in your bank for the boost to apply. This boost does not let you use higher level pickaxes or mine higher level ores.
Mining cape
Currently, the Mining cape is NOT affecting granite and sandstone mining trips. This message will be removed as soon as a fix is implemented.
The Mining cape provides a 5% bonus to the amount of ores you will receive. The extra ores received will not give extra xp, however, the bonus effect stacks with Varrock armours. The cape has no effect when powermining. It applies to all ores except for runite and amethyst. It does not need to be equipped for the bonus to apply.
Varrock Armour
Currently, the Varrock armours (all variants) are NOT affecting granite and sandstone mining trips. This message will be removed as soon as a fix is implemented.
The Varrock diary rewards provide a 10% bonus to the amount of ores you will receive. Higher tiers of diary completion means higher tier ores are affected. The extra ores received will not give extra xp, however, the bonus effect stacks with the Mining cape. These armours have no effect when powermining. This effect also applies to sandstone and granite. It does not need to be equipped for the bonus to apply. It also has no effect within Motherlode mine.
- Varrock Armour 1: Clay - Coal
- Varrock Armour 2: Clay - Mithril
- Varrock Armour 3: Clay - Adamant
- Varrock Armour 4: Clay - Amethyst

| Superior mining gloves | Mithril, Adamant, Runite | 120 |

Unidentified Minerals
