Volcanic sulphur is a mineral that can be mined within the Lovakengj sulphur mine. Volcanic sulphur deposits require level 42 Mining and an equipped breathing filter (such as a gas mask, face mask, or slayer helmet) to mine, and grant 35 Mining experience.

Volcanic sulphur is used along with juniper charcoal, saltpetre, and a pot to create a dynamite pot. Adding a ball of wool to the dynamite pot creates dynamite, which can be used in the Blast Mine at level 43 Mining.

A breathing filter is mandatory to attempt to mine volcanic sulphur; if unequipped, a warning is shown in the chatbox stating that "You'll choke on the fumes if you try to mine without protection." In addition, moving gas clouds within the mine will deal rapid hits of 1-3 damage per tick to unprotected players instead of the usual 1 damage per tick with protection.

It is recommended to mine the volcanic sulphur deposits from the south or from the west to avoid taking excessive damage since the gas clouds cannot damage you when directly south or west of you.

Players can extend their stay at the sulphur deposits if they also wear the Hitpoints Cape and Regen Bracelet, as in combination these provide additional natural healing (+4 hp/min).

The sulphur clouds may be safespotted by luring a spider to the western-most sulphur deposit. This can be done by attacking the spider with auto-retaliate off (casting curse spells or splashing recommended). The safespot setup requires the player to stand on the west square positioned south of the western most deposit with the spider attacking from the east. This safespot works as long as you do not move, step on the spider, or others players walking on you or the spider. Mining using this safespot will not show the mining animation, but you will continue to mine.

Recommended mining safespot location at the furthest west sulphur deposit

Alternative positioning for the same western sulphur deposit

It is recommended that OSRS Mobile players activate 'tap to drop' (located within Mobile Controls Settings) whilst AFK mining sulphur, as unwanted sulphur can be dropped quickly.

One volcanic sulphur piece is used in A Kingdom Divided quest.

[[{{#explode:10 January 2024| |0}} {{#explode:10 January 2024| |1}}]] [[{{#explode:10 January 2024| |2}}]] (update | poll)	The experience from mining volcanic sulphur has been increased from 25 to 35. Damage taken from poison gas clouds has been reduced from 3-5 per tick to 1-3 while unprotected, and from 1-2 to 1 damage per tick while protected. The number of clouds has been reduced.
[[{{#explode:16 March 2016| |0}} {{#explode:16 March 2016| |1}}]] [[{{#explode:16 March 2016| |2}}]] (update)	Fixed a bug where dying with 26 or more volcanic sulphur in the inventory lost all untradeable items. Volcanic sulphur is now destroyed on death.
