Superior mining gloves are a pair of gloves purchasable from Belona's shop, Mining Guild Mineral Exchange, for 100 unidentified minerals. Despite technically only requiring level 55 Mining to equip, level 60 is required to enter the guild to purchase them.

By speaking to Belona with these gloves and the mining gloves, players can pay her 40 unidentified minerals to combine them into a pair of expert mining gloves.

This item can be stored in the armour case of a costume room.

Effects

When mining certain rocks with the gloves equipped, the rock will not be depleted from one to two times depending on the rock, and the player will continue mining the rock until it depletes. This effect stacks with other mining enhancers.

In the mining guild, each time the effect is triggered and the rock is mined again, the player has a chance to find unidentified minerals. This will result in multiple chances per rock before it depletes.

The rocks below are affected by the gloves' effect:

Rock		Extra gathers
	Iron	2
	Silver	2
	Coal	2
	Gold	2
	Mithril	1
	Adamantite	1

Trivia

• The Mining skill guide states that the gloves require level 55 Mining to wear, even though it is impossible to obtain them at that level, as they are purchased within the Mining Guild, which requires level 60 Mining to enter; although a player can boost to 60 using spicy stew to enter the guild, it is extremely unlikely to gather enough unidentified minerals to obtain the gloves before getting to level 60 in Mining, let alone 56.
• Although they match the appearance of the prospector kit, they do not count towards the set bonus.
