Mining involves the process of mining different rocks around Old School RuneScape. The only thing you need is a pickaxe and ‘maybe’ access to various mines. The higher level you are, the better rocks you can mine. The ores can later be used to convert into metal bars, which can further be hammered down to create useful equipment. In the following guide, we’ll be showing you the best way to make OSRS GP through Mining. Let’s start!

Gems

To mine gems, you’ll first need to cover the following requirements. You’ll need to complete the Shilo Village quest, get Karamja Gloves 3 or above, and equip an Amulet of Glory. The Gem mine is located in the Shilo Village and it’s a great way to make RS Gold in the game. While the requirements are low, the profits are noteworthy.

You can teleport directly to the mines using the Karamja Gloves 3 or above. You might often have to hop worlds because there are many players around. This would help increase the profit rates on a per-hourly basis. Karamja Gloves 3 can be acquired by completing the Karamja Achievement Diary.

Basalt

To mine gems, you’ll first need to complete the ‘Making Friends with My Arm’ quest. The Basalt mint is located in Weiss and only players who have completed the quest can access it. The Basalt you mine is normally used to make the Icey and Stoney Basalt teleportation method. You can also note your Basalts by speaking to the NPC named Snowflake.

Amethyst

To mine gems, you’ll first need to cover the following requirements. You’ll need Mining Gloves which can be acquired from this very same place, and you’ll need Varrock Armor 4 to have a 10% chance of mining 2 ores at once. This will help increase the overall profit per hour.

Mining Amethyst is an AFK-able method, as well as a good money-maker in the game. The reason why it’s AFK-able is that mining these ores is a very slow process. The Amethyst rocks are exclusive to the Mining Guild.

Conclusion

There are several new and old ways you can approach to make money off of Mining. While it can get boring at times, the end result is worth the time. We hope our guide was helpful. Good luck with your journey!
