Mining

Mining

Mining is used for Mining ore, rune essence, and gems. Each Mining action takes 3 seconds, and can be reduced by pickaxe upgrades. Purchasing the Master of Nature god upgrade reduces this time by 20%. These reductions are multiplicative with each other. Ore and rune essence amounts can be doubled by wearing Mining Gloves with active charges. Raising Mining to level 99 will unlock the Mining Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Mining Skillcape will give 1 bonus Coal Ore for every Mining action.

Rock HP

Rock HP determines how many ores can be extracted from a rock before it has to regenerate. Maximum rock HP is calculated with this formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Rock HP}=\text{Mastery Level} + 5 }[/math]

Perfect Swing Potions can be used to give a 10-80% chance to not lower rock HP while Mining.
