Ore


 * This page is about the item. For more information about ore, see Ore (disambiguation)

An ore is an item (usually a type of unrefined metal) you can mine from rocks or mineral veins using the Mining skill. Gems, Clay, Sandstone, Granite, Limestone and essences are not really ores, but are still discussed on this page as it can be obtained by Mining. If you have the right combination you can smelt metal ores into bars.

Types of bars
Here is a list of what you need to smelt the bars:

Normal bars
* Iron only has a 50-80% chance of success. The chance is higher as your Smithing level increases. Use the following formula to work the chance of success.

%Chance =  +35

This works until level 45, when the 80% limit is reached.

** The amount of coal required to smelt these bars is halved when smithing at the Blast furnace.

* (m) signifies member's only items

All these bars just require 1 of the respective ore.

Other mineable items
These items cannot smelted although they can be mined.

Trivia

 * Strangely, while mining things like Limestone, and you get an additional limestone from your Varrock armour, it says: "The Varrock Armour allows you to mine an additional ore", although this isn't actually an ore.
 * The heaviest ore is Lunar ore, and the heaviest minable item is 10 kg Sandstone Most metal ores are around 2 kg (1.75 kg to 2.7 kg)
