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 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.

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.
