Mithril ore rocks, also called mithrite[1], is a rock that can be mined through the Mining skill in various places throughout RuneScape.

Mithril ore can be mined with a Mining level of 55 or higher, granting 80 Mining experience and one Mithril ore.

## Respawn rateEdit

Currently mithril ore rocks respawn in 3 minutes.

Mithril ore, like all other mined rocks, used to respawn at a rate indirectly proportional to the number of people in the rock's RuneScape world before the update on 13 March 2017. If the world was empty, the ore respawned in 4 minutes; if it was full (with 2000 players), it respawned in 2 minutes. Thus the respawn rate of mithril ore was

$4-\frac{x}{1000}$ minutes,

where x is the number of players in the world

A table of the historical respawn rates is given below.

Players 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000
Respawn time 4:00 3:48 3:36 3:24 3:12 3:00 2:48 2:36 2:24 2:12 2:00

A common way to overcome the slow respawn rate of mithril ore is world switching. This is done by mining the ore on a world until you have mined all the rocks and then logging out to the lobby and switching to a different world. Repeat until the player's inventory is full.
