Mining
.svg)
Mining lets you mine ore, rune essence and gems. 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 skillcape will give you 1 bonus Coal Ore for every mining action.
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; this effect is additive with the pickaxe bonus. 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:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Rock HP}=\text{Mastery Level} + 5 }[/math]
Perfect Swing Potions can be used to give a 10-80% chance to not consume rock hp when mining.
| 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 |
Pickaxes
Pickaxes are permanent upgrades purchased from the Shop that decrease the amount of time it takes to mine ore by their bonus speed percentage. In addition they provide a chance to double ores.
| Pickaxe | Name | Mining Level | Chance for 2x Ores | Bonus Speed | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Iron Pickaxe | 1 | 1% | 5% |  50
