Gold is an item which may be obtained through Mining a gold rock by players with a Mining level of 40 or higher. Mining gold ore will grant 65 mining experience. A player can then refine the gold into a gold bar at level 40 Smithing, in turn granting the player 22.5 Smithing experience. Players with adequate Crafting levels can then turn their gold bar into one of many jewellery items, provided they have the required mould and/or gem.

Locations

• For a list of gold rock locations, see gold rock locations.

• Players can retrieve one gold from the Archaeological expert at the Digsite by giving him 3 gold nuggets
