'''Gold ore''' is a type of ore that can be obtained by mining [[gold rock]]s, requiring a [[Mining]] level of 40 or higher, and granting 65 experience. Gold ore can be smelted through the [[Smithing]] skill at level 40, granting 22.5 experience (or 56.2 with [[goldsmith gauntlets]]), to form a [[gold bar]]. The gold bar can then be [[Crafting|crafted]] to make various pieces of jewellery, or smithed to make a [[gold helmet]] (requires [[Between a Rock...]] quest) or a [[golden bowl]] (requires [[Legends' Quest]]). However this is not advised for those seeking to make a profit as bars sell for less than ore.

A good place to mine gold is in Arzinian Mines, after the quest [[Between a Rock...]]. The [[Arzinian Mines]] are hidden in the mines south of [[Keldagrim]]. There are 168 gold rocks in this mine and you can use the ferrymen to take your gold ore to the bank, for a price of 6 gold ores (or 3 if the [[ring of Charos]] worn). If the player has made some progress in the Keldagrim quest series, they may use the watchtower just north of the ferryman as a shortcut to the bank rather than paying the gold for the ferryman to bank them.

===Respawn rate===
If the quest is not done, it can still be obtained from the [[Dwarven Mine]]s. It is located just outside the [[Mining Guild]], but it is a very unpopular place to get it because there are only two gold ore rocks. Clap your hands 9 times for a gold ore.

===Mine locations===
One of the better gold mines is located inside the [[mysterious entrance]] at the [[Al Kharid mine]]. It requires 75 [[Dungeoneering]] to enter, and contains 11 gold rocks.

{{Main|Gold ore rocks#Locations}}

The [[Crafting Guild]] is the best place to mine gold ore for non-members, requiring 40 crafting to enter. It has 7 gold rocks, and completion of the [[Falador Tasks#Hard tasks|Falador hard tasks]] grants access to a deposit box in the guild. Otherwise the bank chest in the nearby clan camp can be used. For non-members without 40 Crafting, gold ore can be time consuming to mine and bank. However, two rocks can be found in the [[Rimmington mining site]] with a [[Bank deposit box]] nearby, in the [[Rimmington Customs Office]].
   
 
Members with 80 [[Mining]] should consider mining [[concentrated gold rocks]] in the [[Living Rock Caverns]]. However, [[Aggressiveness|aggressive]], high level (92+) [[living rock creature]]s may attack players. It is advisable to wear armour within the caverns. Alternatively, a [[golem outfit]] or [[shark outfit]] can be worn, which makes the creatures non-aggressive. [[Farli]]'s camp near the exit of the cave has a pulley lift that acts as a [[deposit box]]. The official world for mining concentrated gold is world 84.
A good place to mine gold for people who do not have these high levels is at the mine west of the town of [[Nardah]]. It has 5 gold ore rocks. Not many people use it and it is in the desert, so prepare accordingly.

You can also travel to [[East Ardougne|Ardougne]] and take the boat to [[Brimhaven]] and walk south, then west and then north or teleport to the [[Karamja]] [[lodestone]] and walk north-west. There you can find 10 gold rocks. It can also be used with the advent of the new lodestones (provided it has been unlocked) and teleporting to [[Daemonheim]] to bank is a quick way to mine as the rocks are just one click from where you teleport.

Additionally, the U shaped enclosure of gold ore rocks below the watchtower opposite the docks of Brimhaven is also a way to powermine gold ore without having to give some up to bank them.

!Result
Members with 80 or more [[Mining]] can mine [[concentrated gold rocks]] in the [[Living Rock Caverns]] at a very good speed rate. Aggressive high level (92+) monsters may attack unprepared players, so it is advisable to bring some kind of armour. [[Farli]]'s camp near the exit of the cave has a pulley lift that acts as a [[deposit box]]. The unofficial world for mining concentrated gold is world 77 and world 88 although '''world 84''' tends to be more populated in the Living Rock Caverns.

!Profit/loss
====The Crafting Guild====
 
There are seven gold rocks here, as well as some [[silver rock|silver]] and [[clay rock|clay]]. The disadvantages to this method are that it can be quite crowded at times, you need to have a crafting level of 40 to enter The [[Crafting Guild]], and that it is a long walk to the nearest [[bank]] (Falador East for F2P, West for P2P), but there is a Bank Deposit Box in the Crafting Guild. However, bank run times can be shortened by using any of the following methods:
 
 
;Free to Play
 
*(Requires being in a clan) Use Burthorpe Home Teleport to teleport to Burthorpe. Run to the bank chest and bank your ore. Then, use the Clan vexillum teleport to return to the Clan Camp which is just slightly east of the Crafting Guild. The total trip takes about 90 seconds, less if you use the cellar.
 
*(Requires being in a clan and completion of the [[Death of Chivalry]] quest) Use teleport option on skull of remembrance to teleport to bank on top of Black Knights fortress.Run to the bank chest and bank your ore. Then, use the Clan vexillum teleport to return to the Clan Camp which is just slightly east of the Crafting Guild.
 
*The same method above can be used, except with the [[ring of kinship]]. The Ring of Kinship's teleport animation is shorter than the home teleport, and the teleport spawn is closer to the bank than Lumbridge's. When done banking the ores, players can use a [[Clan vexillum]] to teleport back to the Clan Camp and walk to the Crafting Guild.
 
*Players can use an [[Explorer's ring 3]] for cabbage-port, then run to Draynor village bank, teleport back to the cabbage patch from Draynor bank, and run back to the crafting guild, or the Bank Deposit on the Port Sarim docks. 
 
* Run out of the crafting guild and use the bank in the clan camp. '''This is currently the fastest way to bank on [[free-to-play]] and [[pay-to-play]] (except for the bank deposit in the guild)!'''
 
 
;Pay to Play
 
*Using a [[ring of duelling]] to teleport to [[Castle Wars]], banking and using the [[balloon transport]] and one [[oak log]] to fly back to the Crafting Guild, or alternatively using a [[skills necklace]].
 
* There is a shortcut (requiring level 26 [[Agility]]) north of the Crafting Guild that goes under the Falador wall, allowing you to quickly access a bank to deposit your gold ore.
 
Another method would be to use an [[amulet of glory]] to teleport to [[Edgeville]], bank, then use a [[skills necklace]], teleport to the Crafting Guild. When you are out of charges, use a [[combat bracelet]] to teleport to Warrior's Guild (or a [[games necklace]] to teleport to [[Burthorpe]]) and run to the fountain in the basement of the Heroes' Guild to recharge your amulet of glory. Then use the [[fairy ring]] system to go to the [[Legends' Guild]] to recharge your skills necklace and combat bracelet.
 
*There is a deposit box in crafting guild for those that have completed the [[Falador tasks#Hard tasks|Falador Hard Task set]].
 
 
===Other===
 
An alternative place to mine gold is the [[Brimhaven]] north-west mine. If the [[Fairytale II - Cure a Queen]] and [[Holy Grail]] are completed, it is very easy to get to a bank. Slightly north of the rocks is a watchtower that you can walk under, as is done during the [[Holy Grail]] Quest. Blowing a [[magic whistle]] under it will result in the player being teleported to the King Fisher Realm. From here, run north across the bridge and use the [[fairy ring]] to teleport to [[Zanaris]] to bank the ores. Repeat to get back to the mining spot using the fairy ring code {{fairycode|BJR}}. There is also another mining spot farther south, which is close to the entrance to the [[Brimhaven Dungeon]]. Players that completed [[Deadliest Catch]] unlocked a [[bank deposit box]] to the south of the Brimhaven Dungeon that is even closer.
 
 
Also, gold ore can be acquired from the ore shop at the [[Blast Furnace]] in [[Keldagrim]] in quantities of up to 100.
 
 
There are also several gold ore rocks in [[TzHaar City]], near the bank, and some right outside the city entrance.
 
 
Players may also obtain gold ore by looting certain [[impling]]s from the [[Impetuous Impulses]] minigame; however, the implings do not always give gold ore, so this is not the most reliable way to obtain it.
 
 
There is a gold ore spawn in the [[Bank vault]] within the [[Varrock]] West [[Bank]]. There is also a spawn in level 28 [[Wilderness]] at the eastern ruins.
 
 
Gold ore can sometimes be found inside [[Barrel (Viyeldi caves)|barrels]].

===Goldsmith gauntlets===
 
Gold ore is often smelted with [[Goldsmith gauntlets]] to level Smithing easily and fairly quickly. The gauntlets yield 56.2 experience (2.5 times the normal) per smelt, which is 6.2 points more per smelt than [[rune ore]]. As gold rocks are relatively uncommon and difficult to mine (with the exception of [[concentrated gold ore]]), many players purchase large amounts from other players to smelt. Goldsmith gauntlets can be obtained after completing the [[Family Crest]] quest. It is possible to smelt about 2,000 [[gold bar]]s per hour while running at max efficiency, and with the added exp from the gauntlets, you can gain 112,400 Smithing exp per hour.
 
 
==Respawn rate==
 
Gold ore, like all other mined rocks, [[Spawning|respawns]] at a rate inversely proportional to the number of people in the rock's ''RuneScape'' [[world]]. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 2 minutes; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 1 minute. Thus the respawn rate of gold ore is
 
:<math>2-\frac{x}{2000}</math> minutes,
 
where ''x'' is the number of players in the world.
 
 
A table of respawn rates is given below.

This article is about the ore used in smithing. For the Gielinor Games gold ore, see Gold ore (Gielinor Games).

Gold ore detail

Gold ore is a type of ore that can be obtained by mining gold ore rocks, requiring a Mining level of 40 or higher, and granting 65 experience. Gold ore can be smelted into gold bars through the Smithing skill, requiring level 40 Smithing. Gold bars can then be crafted to make various pieces of jewellery.

Mine locations

The Crafting Guild is the best place to mine gold ore for non-members, requiring 40 crafting to enter. It has 7 gold rocks, and completion of the Falador hard tasks grants access to a deposit box in the guild. Otherwise the bank chest in the nearby clan camp can be used. For non-members without 40 Crafting, gold ore can be time consuming to mine and bank. However, two rocks can be found in the Rimmington mining site with a Bank deposit box nearby, in the Rimmington Customs Office.

Members with 80 Mining should consider mining concentrated gold rocks in the Living Rock Caverns. However, aggressive, high level (92+) living rock creatures may attack players. It is advisable to wear armour within the caverns. Alternatively, a golem outfit or shark outfit can be worn, which makes the creatures non-aggressive. Farli's camp near the exit of the cave has a pulley lift that acts as a deposit box. The official world for mining concentrated gold is world 84.
