Mining
This page was last updated for (v0.18.0). |
Mining is used for Mining ore, Rune Essence, and gems. Each Mining action takes 3 seconds, and can be reduced by 5-50% by purchasing pickaxe upgrades, 20% by purchasing the
Master of Nature god upgrade, and 0.2 seconds by reaching the 50% Mastery pool checkpoint. The pickaxe upgrade and
Master of Nature reductions are multiplicative with each other, applying before the 0.2 second Mastery reduction. 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}=5 + \text{Mastery Level} + \text{Pet Bonus} }[/math]
Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Pet Bonus} }[/math] is 5 if Cool Rock is unlocked, or 0 otherwise.
Perfect Swing Potions can be used to give a 10-80% chance to not lower rock HP while Mining.
