Dwarven Stout and Braindeath Rum

Dwarven stout is an alcoholic beverage concocted by the dwarves but can be made by players using the brewing method. This drink temporarily increases your mining and smithing levels by one. However, you will find that by drinking this you will temporarily decrease your attack, defence and strength levels by seven. Mature dwarven stout, is randomly made whenever you attempt to brew dwarven stout. This drink temporarily increases your mining and smithing levels by two. However, like the dwarven stout, you will find that by drinking this, you will temporarily decrease your attack, defence and strength levels by seven.

Braindeath rum is another drink that you may find useful when mining. When you drink Braindeath rum it will temporarily increase your mining and strength levels. The amount that your skills will rise to will depend on your stats. However, like dwarven stout, fever rum will also decrease some skill levels such as attack, defence, agility, prayer, herblore, magic and ranged temporarily.

For a list of random events that occur when mining, please refer to the Random Events section of the Manual.

The Dwarven Mine contains coal, gold, adamantite, mithril, iron, copper, clay and tin ores to mine from. Mining shops can be identified by the following symbol:

Please note that the Mining Shop icon will not be visible on the main map, because the locations of the shops are underground. To view the item on your mini-map you will have to be underground and within range of the shops. These will be in the Dwarven Mine and Keldagrim - the Dwarven City.

The Dwarven mine contains shops, ores to mine from, anvils so you can smith any bars that you may have and alot of dwarves. The mining shops of the Dwarven Mine offer a range of supplies from basic tools for smithing and mining and the oppportunity to make money from this skill. You can do this by selling your mined ores or smithed bars to the Drogo’s Mining Emporium.

The Mining Guild is un-named on the world map and is located on the east side of Falador, south of the East Bank. Alternatively, you can enter the mines using the adjoining gate from the Dwarven Mine. To enter the Mining Guild you have to climb down one of four ladders. You have to have a mining level of 60 or above to enter this guild.

Inside this guild you can mine from a variety of rocks including many coal rocks and mithril. With the Dwarven Mine a door away, you also have the opportunity to mine from the coal, gold, adamantite, mithril, iron, copper, clay and tin rocks here.

You will also find the various tools that spawn and that are dropped by the dwarves in the mine useful. There is also an anvil to smith items from your newly mined ore (providing they have been smelted into bars first) and a few shops to buy mining and smithing tools from.

The mines of Keldagrim contain different types of rocks to mine from.

Before you cross the river and get to the city you can either walk to the east and you will find a site containing copper rocks, and coal rocks (site number 1 on the Keldagrim map below).

Altenatively, talk to the ferryman and for 2gp he will take you across the river to two other sites (see Keldagrim map above), one on the left (site 2) and one on the right (site 3) of the bridges. The left-hand site contains iron rocks and the right-hand site contains tin rocks. Pay the ferryman 2gp again and he will take you back to the tunnel entrance.

By talking to the boatman you can travel down the river to the center of Keldagrim city. In the city there is a mining shop selling from bronze to rune pickaxes, a furnace, anvils, a general store to sell your mined items and a bank if you wish to store some items. To the north-west of the city you will also find a mining site (site 4) containing coal rocks.
