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{Bonus} }[/math]

Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Bonus} }[/math] starts at 0, increasing by:

  • +10 if the 95%

    pool checkpoint has been reached
  • +20 when both the

  • The below amounts when the relevant bonuses are active:

In addition, the following can be used to provide a chance to deal no damage to rock HP while Mining:

Using these bonuses effectively increases a rock's HP to [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\text{Rock HP}}{1 - \text{Preserve Chance}} }[/math]. For example, a rock with a max HP of 12 while the   Perfect Swing Potion III is being used will have an effective max HP of [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{12}{1 - 0.4} = 20 }[/math].

Below lists the rock HP at various

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.

Ores

Higher tiers of ore are unlocked as the player's Mining level increases. Mining   Rune Essence yields double the amount of ore, however   Gem Gloves will not work when Mining it. To begin Mining   Dragonite Ore the player must have at least 271 Mining mastery levels in total.

Gems

Each Mining action has a 1% gem find chance, which can be increased by +1-15% when the increased chance to receive gems modifier from

Terra

is active, or can be increased to 100% when wearing   Gem Gloves. If the   Clue Chasers Insignia is equipped, then this chance is increased by 10% of its current value (For example, a 20% chance becomes [math]\displaystyle{ 20\% \times 1.1 = 22\% }[/math] when Clue Chasers Insignia is equipped). The chance to receive a gem is capped at 100%, so any bonuses above this limit have no effect. The

Trivia

Prior to the release of V1.0, the source code file for the Mining skill was called rockHitting.js, which is in contrast to other skills' source files which are named eponymously (i.e., woodcutting.js for Woodcutting). This used to be case for Mining as well[1], however it turned out that some browsers or extensions block a script called mining.js, likely in an attempt to prevent unwanted crypto mining, so the file was eventually renamed.

Upon release of V1.0, Mining became one of a small number of tick-based skills, at which point the source file was renamed once more to rockTicking.js.
