Mining is the skill associated with breaking rocks, mainly in The Mines. Larger rocks outside The Mines or more valuable rocks and nodes in The Mines, the Quarry, and Skull Cavern will take more hits or a stronger Pickaxe to break.

Mines Access

During the first four days of the game, The Mines are closed due to a landslide caused by the Joja Corporation. After 4 days, you will receive a letter in the mail saying that Joja Corp. has cleared the landslide, and you will have access to The Mines.

Mining Skill Icon.png Mining skill

Mining Skill is increased by breaking rocks. Each level adds +1 to Pickaxe proficiency.

You are awarded mining skill points when rocks are destroyed -- it doesn't matter if this is done by Pickaxe, Bombs, or by the action of Monsters.

Experience Points

Different rock types give different numbers of experience points. While generic rocks provide no experience bonus on their own, if coal is dropped, you are awarded 5 experience points. No other "extra" drops from breaking rocks award experience points.

Mining Nodes

All nodes may be found in the Skull Cavern or Quarry.

Amethyst Node.png Amethyst Node Amethyst Mines (any level)
Aquamarine Node.png Aquamarine Node Aquamarine Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; Level 40+ otherwise)
Copper Node.png Copper Node Copper Ore Mines (any level)
Diamond Node.png Diamond Node Diamond Mines (Level 50+)
Emerald Node.png Emerald Node Emerald Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; does not appear otherwise)
Gem Node.png Gem Node Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Jade, Prismatic Shard, Ruby, or Topaz Mines (any level)
Gold Node.png Gold Node Gold Ore Mines (Level 80+)
Iridium Node.png Iridium Node Iridium Ore, and a 4% chance for 1 Prismatic Shard Skull Cavern only
Iron Node.png Iron Node Iron Ore Mines (Level 40+)
Jade Node.png Jade Node Jade Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; Level 40+ otherwise)
Mystic Stone.png Mystic Stone 1-3 Iridium Ore, 1-4 Gold Ore, and a 25% chance of 1 Prismatic Shard Mines (Level 100-120)
Ruby Node.png Ruby Node Ruby Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; does not appear otherwise)
Topaz Node.png Topaz Node Topaz Mines (any level)

Diamond Nodes begin appearing at level 50 in the mines, at approximately 1 in 500 chance of appearing in place of a stone. For every level after level 50, frequency increases by .000016 per level. This makes for a .0028 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 100 (1.2 in 500 or 7 in 2500), and ultimately a .003104 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 119 (1.552 in 500 or 194 in 62500).

The chance for Gem Nodes to appear is very small, but is slightly increased by Mining Skill level and Daily Luck. The chance for Mystic Stones to appear is also increased by Mining Skill Level and daily Luck.
