Mining is the skill for extracting Stone, Coal, and Metal from rock nodes using a Pickaxe. Its materials feed the Traveling Merchant gold trade and the Blacksmith Forge at Frostmere, so it pairs naturally with Woodcutting.

Training

Get a Pickaxe from the Old Miner in the Mines on the Mainland if you don't already have one, then equip it in a hotbar slot and mine rock nodes. Stone, Coal, and Metal nodes are all found in the Wilderness — they share the same spawn locations and the same XP rates.

Pickaxe (Lvl 1) 25 XP 1 Obtained free from the Old Miner on the Mainland
Lvl 2 Pickaxe 50 XP 2 Forged at Grimjaw's Blacksmith Forge in Frostmere (Total Level 20 required)

EXP rates

Pickaxe: 25 XP per node · Lvl 2 Pickaxe: 50 XP per node (1 node every 5 seconds)

Time period Pickaxe (Lvl 1) Lvl 2 Pickaxe
Per minute 25 × 12 = 300 EXP 50 × 12 = 600 EXP
Per hour 300 × 60 = 18,000 EXP 600 × 60 = 36,000 EXP
Per day 18,000 × 24 = 432,000 EXP 36,000 × 24 = 864,000 EXP

See EXP Calculator for a full comparison across all skills.
