Mining

Mining is a skill used for obtaining ores, gems and oil. Mining Machinery or the Pickaxe are the primary method to obtain ores. Mining XP can be obtained by converting ores with the Pickaxe. Stardust Prisms can also be obtained from mining after completing the hard mining achievements.

Ores

Ores are the primary resource obtained from the mining skill, and can be sold, used to craft Bars, or used to obtain mining XP. Socketing a Gem into the Pickaxe reduces the amount of stardust needed, but does not change the amount of ores needed.

Note: Ancient Ore and Dragon Ore both dont Give Xp since they are too valuable to be turned into it.

Oil

Oil is an important resource for Mining which is used to operate all Mining Machinery. It is obtained by Oil Wells and the Oil Factory and can be increased by upgrading the Oil Wells. Only a finite amount of oil can be stored at once, which can be increased by upgrading the Oil Silo. Oil can also be increased with the help of the Infinite Oil Potion.

Mining Machinery

The Pickaxe and Mining Machinery work by incrementing a progress bar every tick (second). Once that progress bar has been completed the Pickaxe or Mining Machinery roll their loot tables. The base number of ticks is 12. The base number is used for the pickaxe and any mining machinery type where only one of that type is activated. If there are two machines then it is 6 and three machines is 4.

The pickaxe is always working while the mining machinery can be individually turned off.

To determine production rates you need to divide the ore output chance by the number of ticks required to complete the progress bar (12, 6 or 4).

For example:

The Pickaxe always produces Stone , has a 1 in 2 chance to produce Copper Ore , and a 1 in 340 chance to produce Iron Ore for each completion of the progress bar.

The Pickaxe progress bar takes 12 seconds to complete. This means that the Pickaxe produces on average 1/12 Stone per second, 1/24 Copper Ore per second, and 1/4080 Iron Ore per second.

Mining Machinery can be summarized as below:

Icon	Machine	Mining Level Required	Oil Cost/Machine	Ores Produced per Completion	Maximum machinery crafted
	Drills	1	1	Stone Always Copper 1 in 2 Iron 1 in 7 Silver 1 in 42	3
	Crushers	10	3	Stone Always Copper Always Iron 1 in 5 Silver 1 in 25 Gold 1 in 300
	Giant Drills	25	8	Silver 1 in 16 Gold 1 in 165 Promethium 1 in 1600
	Excavators	60	15	Gold 1 in 125 Promethium 1 in 1250 Titanium 1 in 8400
	Giant Excavators	80	30	Titanium 1 in 4100 Ancient 1 in 16000
	Massive Excavators	Elite Achievment	100	Ancient 1 in 4100 Dragon 1 in 16000	1

Gems

In addition to ores, miners will begin to find gems after the player finishes the Gem Seeker quest. Gems can be sold for coins or used to upgrade the effect of tools. The amount of Mining Machinery being used does not affect the chance of receiving gems.

Geodes

Geodes are rare resources that may be obtained randomly from Mining after obtaining the Chisel from Gathering within the Desert Mines. Finding rarer geodes also required a higher Mining level as well as better gem slotted onto the Chisel.

Every Geode may be cracked with a different chance to receive new Minerals, which may be used to craft Rings for Combat. If not for Crafting Rings, the player may convert the Minerals to free Mining XP.

Upgrading the Chisel with Gems will also allow the player to obtain higher-level geodes.

These are the possible Geodes which may be obtained from Mining:

Geode	Chisel Type Required	Mining Level Required to obtain and crack	Rarity	Average per Day	Possible Minerals
Grey Geodes	(Basic Chisel)	20	1/80,000	1.08	/ /
Blue Geodes	(Chisel slotted with )	35	1/120,000	0.72	/ /
Green Geodes	(Chisel slotted with )	50	1/250,000	0.3456	/ /
Red Geodes	(Chisel slotted with )	70	1/500,000	0.1728	/ /
Cyan Geodes	(Chisel slotted with )	85	1/900,000	0.096	/ /
Ancient Geodes	(Chisel slotted with )	90	Meteors	????	/ /

Minerals

The chance to get minerals from each geode is as follows: (Thanks Agro for collecting the data)

Damage: 25% (1/4)

Accuracy: ~11% (1/9)

Explosives

Bombs

This bomb is not very useful in combat. Detonating it would kill both you and the enemy. It can be used as a mining method, detonating deep into a mine.

The bombs may be obtained from the Volcano as a drop from the Fire Golem. It can may detonated in the inventory to obtain various kinds of loot, such as Copper Ore , Silver Ore , Gold Ore , Promethium Ore , Promethium Bars and etc.

TNT

TNT may detonated be obtained from the Ghost Miner after killing it and is used in the same matter as the Bomb, but allowing to gain even better loot, such as rare Geodes or Titanium Ore.
