Mining Guide
Mining lets you gather ores, crystals, gemstones, and Raw Gems directly from mineral nodes found inside the dungeons. All you need is some Mining mastery, an equipped Pickaxe, and a resource node to work on.
How to Mine?
- Travel to Dungeon L2 or Dungeon L3.
- Equip a Pickaxe.
- Find a visible Rock or Crystal node.
- Interact with the node to make a mining attempt. (CTRL+LCLICK)
- If the mining roll succeeds, the node loses one charge and may give you a loot.
A failed mining attempt does not consume a node charge. A successful mining attempt does consume one charge even when the loot roll produces no item.
Mining Success Formula
Your chance to successfully mine a node is based on your Mining mastery, the node's difficulty, and your equipped Pickaxe.
The current Rock and Crystal nodes both have 15 difficulty. The result is never allowed to fall below 1, so even a very low-level miner still has a minimum 1% success chance. Rolls above 100 are effectively treated as 100% because the server rolls from 1 to 100.
| Mining Mastery | Pickaxe | Good Pickaxe | Great Pickaxe | Ultimate Pickaxe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1% | 1% | 1% | 1% |
| 25 | 10% | 12% | 14% | 17% |
| 50 | 35% | 37% | 39% | 42% |
| 75 | 60% | 62% | 64% | 67% |
| 100 | 85% | 87% | 89% | 92% |
Pickaxe Grades
| Pickaxe | Success Bonus | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pickaxe | +0 | Standard mining success rate. |
| Good Pickaxe | +2 | Adds 2 percentage points to your mining success calculation. |
| Great Pickaxe | +4 | Adds 4 percentage points to your mining success calculation. |
| Ultimate Pickaxe | +7 | Adds 7 percentage points to your mining success calculation. |
Rock & Crystal Nodes
| Node | Difficulty | Charges | Main rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rock | 15 | 8 successful mines | Coal, Iron Ore, Blonde Stone, Silver Nugget, Gold Nugget, Mithral, Raw Gems |
| Crystal | 15 | 8 successful mines | Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Raw Gems |
Each node starts with 8 charges. Only a successful mining roll removes a charge. When the eighth successful mine is completed, the node disappears and the map generator can replace it with a new mineral node.
Mining Maps & Spawn Stats
| Map | Maximum active minerals | Possible nodes | Spawn mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dungeon L2 | 100 | Rock / Crystal | 50% Rock / 50% Crystal per new spawn |
| Dungeon L3 | 100 | Rock / Crystal | 50% Rock / 50% Crystal per new spawn |
The generator checks for missing minerals every 600 ms. While a map is below its 100-node limit, it can create up to one new mineral on each generator check when a valid spawn tile is found.
How Mining Loot Is Rolled
Mining loot uses two rolls after a successful mining attempt:
- The server randomly chooses one entry from that node's loot table.
- The chosen entry then rolls its own configured drop chance.
This means the percentage stored on an item is not the final chance per successful mining hit. The final chance also depends on how many entries exist in the node's loot table.
Rock Loot Table
Rock has 12 loot entries. On every successful mine, each entry has a 1-in-12 chance to be selected before its own drop roll is checked.
| Item | Configured chance | Effective chance per successful mine |
|---|---|---|
| Coal | 99.26% | 8.2717% |
| Iron Ore | 89.72% | 7.4767% |
| Blonde Stone | 85.63% | 7.1358% |
| Silver Nugget | 13.75% | 1.1458% |
| Gold Nugget | 13.75% | 1.1458% |
| Mithral | 7.20% | 0.6000% |
| Raw Orange Gem | 0.83% | 0.0692% |
| Raw Purple Gem | 0.83% | 0.0692% |
| Raw Red Gem | 0.83% | 0.0692% |
| Raw Blue Gem | 0.83% | 0.0692% |
| Raw Green Gem | 0.83% | 0.0692% |
| Raw Aqua Gem | 0.83% | 0.0692% |
Across the entire Rock loot table, the chance of receiving any item after a successful mining roll is approximately 26.19%.
Crystal Loot Table
Crystal has 11 loot entries. On every successful mine, each entry has a 1-in-11 chance to be selected before its own drop roll is checked.
| Item | Configured chance | Effective chance per successful mine |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal | 99.65% | 9.0591% |
| Emerald | 9.37% | 0.8518% |
| Sapphire | 9.37% | 0.8518% |
| Ruby | 9.37% | 0.8518% |
| Diamond | 9.37% | 0.8518% |
| Raw Gold Gem | 0.83% | 0.0755% |
| Raw Silver Gem | 0.83% | 0.0755% |
| Raw Pink Gem | 0.83% | 0.0755% |
| Raw Shiraz Gem | 0.83% | 0.0755% |
| Raw Cyan Gem | 0.83% | 0.0755% |
| Raw Malachite Gem | 0.83% | 0.0755% |
Across the entire Crystal loot table, the chance of receiving any item after a successful mining roll is approximately 12.92%.
Overall Chance From One Mining Attempt
To estimate the chance of getting a particular item from a single click, multiply your mining success chance by that item's effective loot chance.
Example: a character with 100 Mining and an Ultimate Pickaxe has a 92% chance to successfully mine. Mithral has a 0.6000% effective chance per successful Rock mine:
The same calculation can be used for any item in the tables above.
Mining Skill Progression
Every successful mining roll attempts to increase your Mining skill progress. The current server has a global 200% Skill EXP rate, so the normal base Mining progress value of 1 is scaled to 2 before any active VIP Skill EXP bonus is applied.
- Skill progress is awarded after a successful mining roll, even if the following loot roll gives no item.
- Mining mastery can increase up to 100.
- A successful mine does not mean an instant +1 Mining mastery; it adds progress toward the next mastery level.
- Higher Mining mastery directly improves your future mining success chance.
Inventory & Ground Drops
When you successfully receive mining loot, the item is placed directly into your inventory whenever possible. If you cannot carry it, the item is dropped on the ground at your character's position instead.
Raw Gems & Jewelcrafting
Mining is one of the main sources of Raw Gems used by Jewelcrafting.
| Node | Raw Gem families |
|---|---|
| Rock | Orange, Purple, Red, Blue, Green, Aqua |
| Crystal | Gold, Silver, Pink, Shiraz, Cyan, Malachite |
Other Mining Rules
- You must have Mining mastery above 0.
- A valid Pickaxe must be equipped before the server accepts the mining action.
- Mining while invisible removes your Invisibility effect.
- Mineral locations can also appear as mineral points on the Guide Map when that map data is available.
