Coal is a basic resource. It can be obtained in many different ways, primarily from rocks or Dust Sprites in The Mines, purchased from Clint at the Blacksmith shop, or using a Charcoal Kiln. It may also be produced by recycling trash or found in Fishing Treasure Chests. A random amount of coal may be found in addition to metal ores by Panning.

Coal is used in some crafting recipes and is necessary for smelting ore or Quartz in a furnace.

Locations

• Coal can sometimes be found by mining rocks — both in the mines and anywhere on the map. Both daily Luck and the Prospector Profession increase the chances of finding coal.
• Coal can be found in mine carts in certain levels of the mines - follow the mine railways then simply click on the coal-filled cart (Note: this works only once per cart).
• Coal can be found in brown miner's bags lying in certain levels of the mines. Every bag contains around 8 pieces. (Again, this works only once per bag.)
• A Charcoal Kiln can be used to convert 10 wood into 1 coal
• You can farm coal by killing Dust Sprites between levels 41-79 of the Mines. You can use the elevator to quickly and repeatedly travel between floors ending in 0 or 5. (This is an easy way to farm Iron Ore as well.)
  • When farming Dust Sprites for Coal, it is best to wear a Burglar's Ring (earned by killing Dust Sprites).
• Black/Transparent Slimes drop Coal. They can be raised in Slime Hutches
• Stone Golems in levels 30-39 and Metal Heads in levels 80-119 of The Mines may drop coal (10% chance).
  • Wilderness Golems also drop coal (10% chance).
• Coal may occasionally be found by Panning
• Coal may occasionally be sold by the Traveling Cart for data-sort-value="15"100–1,000g.
• Coal can be found inside all 4 types of geodes.

Coal purchased at the Blacksmith costs data-sort-value="150">150g during year 1, so it is cheaper in year 1 to buy 10 wood for data-sort-value="100">100g from Robin at the Carpenter's Shop and convert that wood into coal in the Charcoal Kiln. After year 1, wood pricing increases to data-sort-value="50">50g per piece but coal increases to only data-sort-value="250">250g, so it is cheaper to purchase coal directly.
