Mining

Mining

Mining lets you mine ore, rune essence and gems. Ore and rune essence amounts can be doubled by wearing Mining Gloves with active charges.

Mastery Unlocks

Mining Mastery has two bonus effects. Every 10 levels it gives you a cumulative 1% chance of getting 2 ores instead of 1. On top of that it increases the rock HP.

Rock HP

Rock HP determines how many ores you can extract from a rock before it has to regenerate. The maximum rock hp is calculated with this formula:

Rock HP = 5 + mastery

Mastery Level	Max Rock HP
1	6
2	7
3	8
4	9
5	10
10	15
20	25
50	55
75	80
99	104

Ores

Mining is required to let you mine ores. Below you can see a table of the ores you can mine. When mining Rune Essence you receive twice the amount of ore, but Gem Gloves do not work.

	Copper Ore	1	7	5	2	2.33	0.67

Gems

When you mine an ore there is a 1% chance to get a gem. If you are wearing Gem Gloves you always get a gem. When you get a gem it is selected from the following table of gems:

Gem	Name	Gem Chance	Gem Price
	Topaz	50.0%	225
	Sapphire	17.5%	335
	Ruby	17.5%	555
