'''The Mines''' are located in the north area of [[the Mountain]]s (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|the player]] receives a letter.

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]]). A Staircase allows instant access to the next level in the Mines. After every 5 levels, an elevator will be available, allowing access to that floor at any time.

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 [[Tools#Fishing_Poles|Fishing poles]] and weapons will not be returned.
