'''Mithril ore''' is a type of ore that can be obtained through the [[Mining]] skill in various places throughout ''[[RuneScape]]''. It can be smelted with 4 heaps of [[coal]] through the [[Smithing]] skill at level 50 to form a [[mithril bar]], which can then be smithed into various types of [[weapons]] and [[armour]].

Mithril ore can be mined with a Mining level of 55 or higher, granting 80 Mining [[experience]]. After being mined, a [[mithril rock]] takes an average of 3 minutes to respawn.

==Respawn rate==
Mithril ore, like all other mined rocks, [[Spawning|respawns]] at a rate directly proportional to the number of people in the rock's ''RuneScape'' [[world]]. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 4 minutes; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 2 minutes. Thus the respawn rate of mithril ore is
:<math>4-\frac{x}{1000}</math> minutes,
where ''x'' is the number of players in the world

A table of respawn rates is given below.

A common way to overcome the slow respawn rate of mithril ore is [[world switching]].
This is done by mining the ore on a world until you have mined all the rocks and then logging out to the lobby and switching to a different world. Repeat until the player's inventory is full.
This is NOT against the Jagex rules.

The 5 mithril rocks at the lumbridge swamp is good for world switching, however being a member is an enormous advantage because one will rarely find another player at the mine.

==Trivia==
*When ''RuneScape'' was first released, smelting mithril bars required level 55 Smithing. Jagex later redefined the smithing table such that smelting mithril bars only required level 50 Smithing.
*The metal Mithril features in many fantasy worlds, sometimes spelled mithral. It is found in both the novel and film series ''[[Wikipedia:The Lord of The Rings|The Lord of The Rings]]'', where it is white, as well as Dungeons and Dragons, Final Fantasy, in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and World of Warcraft.
*A great place to mine mithril is in the hidden resource chamber in the dwarven mine and the 6 rocks are next to a deposit box. This is recommended on highly populated servers as shown above.
*Although dangerous, [[Crandor]] is also a very good place to mine mithril. Players may only return there after completing the [[Dragon Slayer]] quest, and dangerous creatures such as [[king scorpions]] and [[lesser demons]] inhabit it. Consequently, there is little competition over the eight mithril rocks and the ten [[coal rocks]] there.
