Silver rocks are a rock containing silver ore. A player with a Mining level of 20 can mine silver ore, yielding 40 Mining experience.

Wearing mining gloves, superior mining gloves, or expert mining gloves makes the rock not deplete upon mining silver, allowing you to mine one, two, or three additional ore, respectively, before depleting.

Pre-roll

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.
