::#Talk to [[Kazgar]] and have him take you to the mines.
  +
::#Mine until your inventory is full of ore.

::#Go to [[Mistag]] and have him show you out of the mines.

* The [[West Falador Mine]] - Bank at [[West Falador Bank]]. Also, level 5 [[Agility]] is needed to negotiate the [[shortcut]].

An iron rock is a protruding rock containing iron ore. A player with a Mining level of 15 or higher can mine iron ore from rocks found in various mines, granting 35 Mining experience for each ore mined. After being mined, an iron rock takes 5 seconds to respawn.

Iron is the most popular ore that free-to-play players power-mine for experience. Using a Rune pickaxe with a high Mining level, a player can extract the iron ore from the rock in one strike, while mining copper, tin, or clay takes two or three strikes.
