Mining enhancers

Mining enhancers are items that aid the player in Mining. Their benefits range from invisible mining boosts, to giving a chance to mining an extra ore from a rock. The effects of mining enhancers stack with each other when worn.

List of mining enhancers

Item		Effect
	Celestial ring	Gives an invisible +4 boost to Mining; stacks with both visible and invisible boosts, though visible boosts are capped to level 99. When charged, gives a bonus identical to the Varrock armour 3's mining effect; these effects can stack.
	Celestial signet
	Mining gloves	Saves iron, silver, coal, and gold rocks from becoming depleted one time. The player will continue mining until the rock depletes.

	Expert mining gloves	Saves ores affected by mining gloves from becoming depleted three times, ores affected by superior mining gloves two times, and sandstone rocks, runite rocks, and amethyst crystals once. The player will continue mining until the rock depletes.
	Varrock armour 1	Gives a 10% chance to mine an extra ore in standard rocks up to gold, as well as tephra rock formations and Guardian fragments.
