Living minerals are mined from dead Living Rock Creatures in the Living Rock Caverns. When the creatures die, they leave behind Living rock remains which can be mined. Minerals from a creature another player has defeated can only be mined after a minute has passed since the creature's death.

• Living rock protector, level 92
• Living rock striker, level 92
• Living rock patriarch, level 95

They require level 73 Mining to mine and give 5-24 stackable Living minerals and 25 Mining experience. The most common range is 7-15 Living Minerals with anything above or below being uncommon or rare.

Living minerals are used as bait along with a Fishing Rod and 90 fishing to fish for Raw rocktail. Although Rocktail fishing spots are only found in the Living Rock Caverns, they can be caught in the Deep Sea Fishing hub from swarm fishing spots.
