'''Mining''' is the [[Skills|skill]] associated with breaking rocks, mainly in [[the Mines]]. Larger or more valuable rocks and nodes take more hits, and in some cases, require a stronger [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] to break.  

==Mines Access==
During the first four days of the game, [[the Mines]] are closed due to a landslide caused by the [[JojaMart|Joja Corporation]]. On [[Spring]] 5 in the first year, a letter will be received in the mail saying that Joja Corp. has cleared the landslide, and then the Mines are unlocked.

==[[File:Mining Skill Icon.png|32px]] Mining Skill==
Mining Skill is increased by breaking rocks or by reading the [[Mining Monthly]] or [[Book Of Stars]]. Each level adds +1 to [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] [[Skills#Proficiency|proficiency]].

Mining skill points are awarded when rocks are destroyed -- it doesn't matter if this is done by [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] or [[Crafting#Bombs|Bombs]]. Rocks destroyed by [[Monsters]] grant no XP.

{{:Mining/Skill}}
==Experience Points==
250 Mining XP is gained for reading a copy of the [[Mining Monthly]] or [[Book Of Stars]].

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.

Breaking open a meteor dropped on [[the Farm]] during a [[Random Events#Meteorite|Meteorite event]] awards no experience.

Experience level is increased immediately upon breaking a rock/boulder/node, but the "level up" window doesn't appear until after going to sleep.

The Geologist profession gives the specific gem nodes a 50% chance of spawning an additional gem. If this happens, then the amount of experience gained for each node is reduced<ref name="geologistexp" />.

[[#Diamond Node|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 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|Mining Skill]] level and daily [[luck]]. The chance for [[#Mystic Stone|Mystic Stones]] to appear is also increased by Mining Skill Level and daily luck.

==Food==
Certain [[Cooking|cooked dishes]] will temporarily increase the player's mining level. [[Qi Seasoning]] can be applied to further increase the stat buff for dishes cooked by the player.

<ref name="geologistexp">See <samp>GameLocation::breakStone</samp> in the game code.</ref>
<ref name="coalbonus">There are 2 different code sections to assign coal to a rock outside the Mines. One is <samp>breakStone</samp>, a chance of 5% * (1 + DailyLuck/2 + 0.005*MiningSkill) for a rock giving coal which does give the +5 bonus. The other is <samp>onStoneDestroyed</samp>, a 3.5% chance for a coal that doesn't give bonus XP. From a player's view, the game will randomly give 6 XP sometimes for coal-dropping rocks, and sometimes just 1 randomly. Prospector causes <samp>breakStone</samp> to roll twice for the coal drop (but the extra roll grants no XP), while doubling the chances for <samp>onStoneDestroyed</samp> to 7%.</ref>
