Nickel rocks can be mined at level 74 Mining to obtain nickel ore and 80.5 Mining experience. They can be found on islands reachable via level 62 Sailing. Unlike most rocks, players are able to obtain multiple ores from one rock before it is depleted, although mining gloves and their upgrades provide no further benefit. Each rock can contain between 2 and 16 nickel ores. The Varrock armour 4 has a chance of yielding additional ores, but other mining enhancers do not work.

The nickel rocks in Deepfin Mine are near Aberrant spectres. A nose peg or slayer helm is recommended for mining at this spot.

Pre roll drops

The mining gem drop table has a 1/256 chance to roll on every mining attempt;^[1] if the player is wearing a charged amulet of glory, amulet of glory (t), or amulet of eternal glory, the probability increases to 1/64.2.^[2]^[3] If the table successfully rolls, the player may receive an uncut gem or nothing, and in either case can not receive an ore.^[4] This neither depletes the rock nor grants Mining experience. The rates shown are for every mining attempt.
