Coal can be mined at level 30 Mining providing 50 Mining experience. After coal rocks are mined, it will take 30 seconds until it reappears. Coal is required to smelt all ores above iron (other than gold or silver), in increasing amounts.

Members can store 27 pieces of coal in one inventory space by using a coal bag, obtained from Prospector Percy's Nugget Shop for 100 golden nuggets at Motherlode Mine.

Wearing either mining gloves or expert mining gloves grants a 40% chance for the rock to not deplete upon mining coal, allowing you to mine an additional coal before depleting.
