Mining
From the Pantheon Wiki
Mining extracts ores, gems, and other resources from rocks scattered across the realm. Higher levels unlock better ores and faster mining speeds. The Prospector outfit from Motherlode Mine grants a 2.5% XP bonus and is highly recommended before committing to long Mining sessions.

Training methods
Base XP values match the original. Pantheon applies a 150x multiplier — multiply any base value below by 150 for in-game XP.
| Level | Method | Location | Base XP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-15 | Mine copper / tin ore | Lumbridge Swamp / Varrock East mine | 17.5 | Copper and tin give 17.5 XP each. At 150x rates, level 15 is reached after a handful of ores. |
| 15-45 | Mine iron ore (power-mining — drop method) | Al-Kharid mine or Piscatoris mine | 35 | Iron gives 35 XP. Drop ore immediately to maximise actions per hour. Fastest active mid-level method. |
| 30-72 | Motherlode Mine | Motherlode Mine, Falador | 60 | AFK-friendly. Mine pay-dirt, process through machine, receive bars and XP. Earns golden nuggets for Prospector outfit. |
| 45-75 | Mine granite (power-mine / drop) | Quarry, Kharidian Desert | 60 | Granite gives 60 XP per stone. Drop immediately. Drink waterskins to survive desert heat. |
| 75-99 | 3-tick granite mining | Quarry, Kharidian Desert | 60 | Use herb/tar every tick to halve mining cycle time. Fastest Mining XP per hour — highly click-intensive technique. |
