There are a total of 120 levels, or floors, in the Mines. Ore quality (type) and quantity increases as the player moves deeper into the Mines. The Mines are filled with rocks and dirt patches. Rocks can be mined with a  [[Tools#Pickaxes|pickaxe]] in order to obtain [[stone]], [[Minerals#Resources|ore]] and [[Minerals#Geodes|geodes]]. A [[Tools#Hoes|hoe]] can be used on dirt patches to collect [[minerals]], [[artifacts]], ore, [[clay]], and [[Cave Carrot|cave carrot]]s.

To advance deeper in the Mines, a ladder must be revealed on each floor. The ladder will sometimes appear when rocks are broken or after an enemy is defeated (killing enemies is the stamina-free option to finding ladders). If a level is "infested" or "overrun" by monsters, all enemies must be defeated on that floor before a ladder will appear.

If the player has reached at least level 2 in the [[Mining]] skill, levels can be skipped by using a [[Staircase]] (crafted from 99 [[Stone]]).

Dying in the Mines causes the player to "forget" several of the most recent floors. Generally, around 5~11 floors will be lost, which means the elevator to those floors will not be accessible until progression is once again made. 10% of the player's gold will also be lost, as well as various items, including [[weapons]], tools, and unique items (except for the [[Galaxy Sword]] and [[rings]]). If tools are lost, they will be returned in the mail on the following day, though [[Tools#Fishing_Poles|Fishing poles]] and weapons will not be returned.

Revision as of 17:59, 17 October 2016

The Mines are located in the north area of the Mountains (northeast of the Carpenter's Shop and to the west of the Adventurer's Guild). They are blocked-off by rock debris until the 5th day of Spring, when the player receives a letter.

There are a total of 120 floors, or levels, in the Mines. Ore quality (type) and quantity increases as the player moves deeper into the Mines. The Mines are filled with rocks and dirt patches. Rocks can be mined with a pickaxe in order to obtain stone, ore and geodes. A hoe can be used on dirt patches to collect minerals, artifacts, ore, clay, and cave carrots.

To advance deeper in the Mines, a ladder must be revealed on each floor. The ladder will sometimes appear when rocks are broken or after an enemy is defeated (killing enemies is the stamina-free option to finding ladders). If a floor is "infested" or "overrun" by monsters, all enemies must be defeated on that floor before a ladder will appear.

If the player has reached at least level 2 in the Mining skill, floors can be skipped by using a Staircase (crafted from 99 Stone). A Staircase allows instant access to the next floor in the Mines. After every 5 floorss, an elevator will be available, allowing access to that floor at any time.

Dying in the Mines causes the player to "forget" several of the most recent floors. Generally, around 5~11 floors will be lost, which means the elevator to those floors will not be accessible until progression is once again made. 10% of the player's gold will also be lost, as well as various items, including weapons, tools, and unique items (except for the Galaxy Sword and rings). If tools are lost, they will be returned in the mail on the following day, though Fishing poles and weapons will not be returned.

A Minecart is located on the entry floor for quick travel to and from the mine. It is unlocked by completing the Community Center boiler room bundles or purchased from the Joja Community Development Form.

Combat

You will face many Monsters in the Mines. Be prepared. Make sure to bring lots of food that refill HP and energy, or craft life elixirs which refill all health when used.

Losing all your health in the Mines is not ideal. You will lose money, items from your inventory and you will "forget" previous floors you've discovered (meaning you can no longer use the elevator to access them until you reach them again). The amounts of items, gold and knowledge lost vary.

You will either awake in the mine entrance.

If the screen becomes "Misty" or "Glowy" be prepared to fight. When this happens lots of the current biomes' flying monster will spawn and attack you.

Infested floors

Occasionally you will enter a random floor with a surplus of monsters and no rocks, and a message saying, "This area is overrun with monsters".

You must continue to fight until a ladder appears and you receive a message saying, "A way down has appeared"; this is typically after the last enemy is defeated.

A Staircase can be used to escape an infested floor.

Skull Cavern Mine

On floor 120 of the Mines is the Skull Key. The skull key is used to open a door in a cave in The Desert, leading to the Skull Cavern. It is also used to unlock the Junimo Kart arcade machine for play in The Saloon.

Trivia

  • The axe, scythe or pickaxe can be used to kill monsters in lieu of the sword.
  • Stone can be purchased from the Carpenter's Shop for data-sort-value="20">Gold.png20g each, making it possible to skip all 120 floorss for just under data-sort-value="250,000">Gold.pngExpression error: Unrecognized punctuation character ",".g (useful for unlocking all the floors in order to return later)
