Mining experience is gained from a number of sources. The most common is breaking nodes or stones, but the experience depends on a number of factors such as the professions one has, the location of the stone or node, the type of stone or node, and whether a special items was spawned from the stone. It also might be possible to get mining experience from opening treasure chests in the mine (25 + mine level) and digging up [[Artifact Spot]]s (25 exp), although those have not been confirmed in game.
[[Skills#Mining|Mining Skill]] is increased by using the pickaxe [[tools|tool]] or [[bombs]] to break rocks. Each level adds +1 to pickaxe [[proficiency]].

===[[The Mines]] in the Mountain===
Knowing this, you should know this pattern:
Knowing those above, you should know this pattern:
For every level you land on, quickly do a run around of the level to find obvious ores (Things like copper ore and quartz sticks out compared to other rocks).

Alternately (If you want to skip all the fun) if you have tonnes of profit from farming, stone can be purchased from the [[Carpenter's Shop]] for 20g a stone, allowing you to skip all 120 levels for just under a quarter of a million gold. This does however cause you to miss out on tonnes of ore and other loot on the way down (unless you stop for that on each floor) meaning that its not the most efficient solution out there, but it's useful if you want to unlock all the levels in order to return to them at a later date.

===The [[Skull Cavern]]===
Bring a lot of supplies like potions (for life and energy restoration), cooking (for buffs like [[Luck]], [[Mining]], [[Speed]] and Defense), bombs and stones (for [[staircase]] crafting and ammo). Prepare the right charms, the slingshot and the weapon. Take the bus at 10:00 am punctually at the bus stop and quickly enter the mine as soon as possible if you want to grind as deep as possible.
Besides regular staircase appeared and created by players, there are shafts which occasionally occurs, which bring players down for 3-15 levels.
If there are way to escape to the next level, don't cling to your enemies, for there are better loots in deeper levels.
Skull Cavern mining is a race with time, with decent strategies player can descend to about 300 levels before the proper time to take bus or wrap home.

Mining is done by breaking apart rocks or nodes with your pickaxe; larger rocks in the outside area or higher tier rocks and nodes in [[The Mines]], the [[Quarry]], and [[Skull Cavern]] will take more hits or a stronger pickaxe to break.
