Mithril ore



Mithril ore is a type of ore that can be obtained through the Mining skill in various places throughout RuneScape. It can be smelted with 4 heaps of coal through the Smithing skill at level 50 to form a mithril bar, which can then be smithed into various types of weapons and armour.

Mithril ore can be mined with a Mining level of 55 or higher, granting 80 Mining experience. After being mined, a mithril rock takes an average of 3 minutes to respawn.

Respawn rate
Mithril ore, like all other mined rocks, respawns at a rate directly proportional to the number of people in the rock's RuneScape world. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 4 minutes; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 2 minutes. Thus the respawn rate of mithril ore is
 * $$4-\frac{x}{1000}$$ minutes,

where x is the number of players in the world.

A table of respawn rates is given below.

Trivia

 * When RuneScape was first released, smelting mithril bars required level 55 Smithing. Jagex later redefined the smithing table such that smelting mithril bars only required level 50 Smithing.
 * You can often get 13 mithril ore from random event gifts.
 * The name mithril may have been taken from The Lord of The Rings, where it is also referred to as 'Silver-steel' and is a pure white, impenetrable metal.
