Expert mining gloves are a pair of gloves that can be obtained by asking Belona in the Mining Guild to combine your mining gloves with a pair of superior mining gloves, for a fee of 40 unidentified minerals. They require 70 Mining to wear.

Gathering the 180 total required unidentified minerals will take players approximately 10 to 12 hours of power-mining iron, which is the fastest method for acquiring unidentified minerals.

Upon dying above level 20 Wilderness, the gloves will be converted into 14 coins when dropped.

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 three 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 listed below are affected by the gloves' effect:

Rock		Extra gathers
	Iron	3
	Silver	3
	Coal	3
	Gold	3
	Mithril	2
	Adamantite	2
	Runite	1
	Sandstone	1
	Amethyst	1
