[[File:Mining (skill).svg|thumb|right|Mining]]

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a skill used to gather [[#Ores|ore]], {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}, {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}}, and [[#Gems|gems]] for use in many other skills.

Each Mining action takes 3 seconds. This time can be reduced by 5-50% by purchasing [[#Pickaxes|pickaxe upgrades]], 15% by purchasing the {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}} god upgrade, 3% with the {{Skill|Agility|Elite Pillar of Expertise}}, 2% with {{PetIcon|Harold}}, 3% with {{Skill|Cartography|Hex Mastery}}, 3% when using {{ItemIcon|Candelabra Lit}}, 0.2s by reaching the 50% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]], 0.2s while the {{ItemIcon|Mole}} + {{ItemIcon|Eagle}} [[Synergy]] is active, 0.1s by wearing {{ItemIcon|Dirty Mining Boots}}, and then by another 0.1s by being on the {{POIIcon|Terran Dungeon Ruins}} hex (0.2s when also owning {{PetIcon|Carthulu}}). Percentage reductions are applied prior to flat reductions, making it possible to reach the global minimum action time of 0.25s when sufficient reductions are active.

Ore amounts can be doubled by wearing {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} with active charges. Raising Mining to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. Equipping the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} will give 1 bonus {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} for every Mining action. The {{ItemIcon|Superior Mining Skillcape}}, which becomes available once {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}} has been reached, increases the bonus {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}} quantity to 2 while also providing +5% chance to find gem veins while mining.

===Rock HP===

For ore and essence rocks besides {{Icon|Meteorite Ore|Meteorite|type=rock|img=Meteorite}}, the maximum HP is calculated as follows:

 

--><math> \text{Rock HP}=5 + \text{Mastery Level} + \text{Bonus} </math>

* +20 when both the {{ItemIcon|Mole}} and {{ItemIcon|Bear}} {{Skill|Summoning}} synergy and [[Perfect Swing Potion]] is active

{{ModifierTable|ChanceNoDamageMining|Preserve Chance}}

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

Due to passive rock HP regeneration, it is possible (given a sufficiently high maximum rock HP) to ensure a rock always has HP and never has to respawn, no matter how long it has been mined for. To achieve this, the player's chance to deal zero damage to ores must be at least <math>\left \lceil 1 - \frac{\text{Action Interval (seconds)}}{10} \right \rceil</math>.

 

Therefore, the chance required in order to avoid respawns at the an interval of 0.85 seconds is <math>\left \lceil 1 - \frac{0.85}{10} \right \rceil = \left \lceil 0.915 \right \rceil = 0.92 = 92\%</math> or higher. Currently the maximum possible chance is 91% when the highest tier of {{Icon|Perfect Swing Potion}} and all other available bonuses are utilized.

 

Below lists the rock HP at various {{Icon|Mastery}} levels with and without the maximum possible bonus:

The [[Skillcapes|superior skillcape]] can be purchased from the store for {{GP|10000000}} after the player reaches {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}}.

The [[Pets|pet]] can be unlocked by doing any Mining action.

{{PickaxeUpgradeTable}}

==Rocks==

Higher tiers of rocks are unlocked as the player's Mining level increases. The quantity received from any ore rock is doubled when {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are in use, and normal gems are guaranteed to drop from any ore when {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} are used, however neither of these gloves have any effect when used while mining essence or gem veins.

{{MiningOresTable}}

==Gems==

Each Mining action has a 1% chance of discovering a random normal gem. The chance to receive gems when mining ores can be increased by bonuses such as that from {{Icon|Terra|type=constellation}}, or can be guaranteed through the use of {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}}. If the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}} is equipped, the chance to find gems is increased by 10% (For example, a 20% chance becomes <math>20\% \times 1.1 = 22\%</math>). The chance to receive a gem is capped at 100%, so any bonuses above this limit have no effect.

 

While mining {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}}, there is a chance that a {{ItemIcon|Runestone}} will be dropped instead of a normal gem. The chance of [[Runestone]] drops is not subject to the usual normal gem drop chance bonuses, and so the base chance of 1% may only be increased to 1.1% while wearing the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}}.

 

Any gems dropped (including {{ItemIcon|Runestone|Runestones}}) may be doubled if any global or Mining specific item doubling bonuses apply. The {{ItemIcon|Mole}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] and/or {{ItemIcon|Gem Finder Scroll}} may also be used for a chance to receive an additional normal gem of any type whenever a normal gem is dropped while Mining - this additional gem also has a chance to be doubled. If the synergy is active while mining {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}}, then a {{ItemIcon|Runestone}} will be obtained in place of a random gem.

 

===Superior Gems===

Superior gems can drop from any gem vein (in addition to the gem provided by mining the vein) with a chance of 10% per action. This chance can be increased by any things providing a bonus to the chance to receive a quality superior gem. Superior gems may also drop while mining {{Icon|Meteorite Ore|Meteorite|type=rock|img=Meteorite}}, but only when a bonus to the chance to receive a superior gem is active, as the base chance is 0%.

 

Random superior gem drops cannot be doubled, nor does the {{ItemIcon|Mole}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] or {{ItemIcon|Gem Finder Scroll}} apply.

The [[Perfect Swing Potion]] provides a chance to mine from a rock without lowering the rock's HP. This potion has no effect while mining from a gem vein.
