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.
