Although mining isn't a very easy task, knowing exactly where to look and how to extract the gems can streamline the process. Bring a handful of gems back to the Smithing Anvil to enhance your gear and keep slaying enemies to your heart's content.

Obtaining Gems in RuneScape Dragonwilds
Obtaining different kinds of Gems in RuneScape Dragonwilds is a straightforward task. You must use a pickaxe, regardless of its material, to mine different deposits to farm the precious stones. Additionally, you must also upgrade your mining skills to level 16. Following this, you will unlock the gem prospector perk to farm the stones from deposits.
