This is the Mining Guide

The mining master (Gadrin) can be found at Neitiznot, member zones and some other places. The master can give you your skilling cape for free when you reach level 99. In addition, he can give you skilling tasks to obtain mining points or money (you will also get participation points when you finish your task). Finally, you can see his master's shop where you can spend your mining points.
