'''The Mines''' can be found to the northeast of the [[Carpenter's Shop]] and west of the [[Adventurer's Guild]]. They can be accessed only after you receive a letter on the fifth day of gameplay, as they are blocked off by rocks before this.

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|minerals]], [[artifacts]], ore, [[clay]], and [[Cave Carrot|cave carrot]]s.

To advance to a deeper level of the mine, you must find a ladder. A ladder will sometimes appear when rocks are broken or enemies are killed. If a level is "infested" or "overrun" by monsters, all enemies must be defeated on that floor before a ladder will appear, under the final monster.

Losing all your health in the mines is not ideal. You will lose '''money''', '''items''' from your inventory and you will '''"forget" previous levels''' you've discovered.  The amounts of items, gold and knowledge lost vary.
