The Dwarven Mine is a large mine ran by dwarves located beneath Asgarnia. It contains a variety of ores and can be accessed from the entrance south of Ice Mountain or from the two entrances located in Falador. The Dwarven Mine also connects to both the Mining Guild and the Motherlode Mine, which are located at the southern end of the mine.

At the southern end of the mine, there is a severe infestation of scorpions and King Scorpions that will trouble those with lower combat levels. You need a combat level of 65 in order to be left alone by the King Scorpions. North of the scorpions is an Agility shortcut (narrow crevice in the wall) requiring level 42 Agility. The Mining Guild can be found in the southern part of the mine, requiring 60 Mining to access. The entrance to the Motherlode Mine can be found in the south-eastern section of the Dwarven Mine marked by a dungeon icon (). To make use of the Motherlode Mine, players require a minimum of 30 Mining, with 57 Mining required to access the upper level.

Transportation

The main entrance to the Dwarven Mine
The Falador entrances to the Dwarven Mine
  • Main entrance: In the foothills of the Ice Mountain, north of the Falador-to-Barbarian Village road. Using a combat bracelet to teleport to the Edgeville Monastery is a quick way to get to this entrance.
  • Alternatively, Lassar Teleport to the top of the Ice Mountain, then run south down to the main entrance.
  • Falador entrance: A building in the far north-east of Falador has stairs down to the south end of the mine. A Falador Teleport is a fast way to get here and to get to the next entrance.
  • South gate: Entrance to the Mining Guild, level 60 Mining required. Using a skills necklace to teleport directly to the Mining Guild is the quickest way to get here.
  • Mine cart: Members may use the Keldagrim mine cart system, to enter the mine in the north-west section. This two-way network allows players to travel between the Dwarven Mine and the bustling dwarven capital of Keldagrim. From the cart station in Keldagrim it is also possible to travel to White Wolf Mountain and the Grand Exchange, provided that the Fishing Contest quest has been completed. One fast way to get to the mine is to take the carts from the Grand Exchange to Keldagrim and then to Ice Mountain.

Shops

There are several shops in the Dwarven Mine.

  • Nurmof's Pickaxe Shop - which sells all types of pickaxes from bronze to rune.
  • Drogo's Mining Emporium - which sells ores, pickaxes, hammers and bars.
  • Hura's Crossbow Shop, which sells crossbows, limbs, and stocks. It is available to members only.
  • A general store, run by a dwarf near the carts.

Trivia

  • Fires cannot be lit near the Dwarven Mine. Attempting to do so will yield the message "The dwarves won't be happy if you light a fire here". The area of this restriction extends as far out as the Edgeville Monastery.
