The Motherlode Mine is located in the Dwarven Mines. Just south of the staircase after entering the mines.
Players can mine Pay-dirt from the ore veins on the walls of the mine for 60 experience each, with a maximum of 24 being mined from a single vein.
A closer area for mining requires 72 Mining. This area is just north of the bank chest(in the center of the mine). There is also a tunnel next to the ladder that requires 54 Agility to trespass.
You can mine various rockfalls for 10 exp. These rockfalls can fall on you for 1 damage, so be wary of where you stand!
Cleaning the Pay-dirt will give you ores based upon your mining level, the amount of ores is random each time. The lower your level, the more coal/gold ores you'll obtain.
