Wielding a Bronze or Iron Pickaxe does not have any Attack level requirements. If you wish to obtain a pickaxe of higher quality, you can either buy one from Nurmof's Pickaxe Shop in the Dwarven Mines or you can buy one at the Grand Exchange, located north of the western-most bank in Varrock. You should automatically have a bronze pickaxe on your toolbelt.

To start your journey on mining your way up the ranks you will first need to get the most essential tool: the pickaxe. Keep in mind at level 60 Mining, you have access to the Mining Guild. If at any time you become bored with training your Mining for fast experience, you can either take a rest or train other skills or read up on the Mining Guide and go hunt out for different rocks to mine. To get more accurate calculations suited specifically for your needs, please check out the Mining Calculator. If you finish any quests giving Mining experience while following this guide, then the formulas will be inaccurate to some extent. Information on the Sacred Clay Pickaxe can be found in the sections later on. Please note that the formulas in this guide will never consider the use of the Sacred Clay Pickaxe, so if you intend on using this pickaxe you need to halve the given number. None of the formulas throughout this section of the guide will consider the possibility of having completed any quests, with the exception of 'must-be-finished' quests. This guide will cater the needs of any onlooking miner at any given level looking for the best methods of getting experience. This section will cover how to get the fastest experience rates in the game for both free-players and members alike and where the best mining areas are to get experience for the given circumstances.
