Different rock types give different numbers of experience points. While generic rocks inside [[The Mines]] provide no experience bonus on their own, if [[coal]] is dropped, 5 experience points are awarded (except in the case of the two gray rocks pictured below). No other "extra" drops from breaking rocks inside the Mines award experience points.

Diamond Nodes begin appearing at floor 50 in the mines, at approximately .0020 chance (1 in 500) of appearing in place of a stone. For every floor after floor 50, frequency increases by .000016 per floor. This makes for a .0028 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 100 (1.4 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.
