Ore/Minerals
Once a player has equipped a pick, they are ready to mine ores and minerals. The mines underneath the never-ending tree hold caves for each ore and mineral other than Mitar Ore, which can be found at the three Mitar Nodes in the Ruins of Elven Temple (Mitar). The minerals and ores are used in crafting, and can be bought or sold at the Market for Money. The exception to this and the mining pets is Mitar Ore.
Mining Pets are different than the regular pets that can follow you and provide inventory slots. Mining pets stay in their respective caves and help the player by passively collecting the Ores/Minerals in that cave. These pets can be purchased and upgraded at the Trainer House. The cost increases dramatically at each level. The performance of the pets can also be upgraded at the totem by using Enhance Stones. Enhance stones can increase production for that pet type by 5%, with a 25% chance of success for each stone used. A video ad can be watched (or button pressed for VIP) to increase the chance of success. There are also two consumable booster potions that can be used to increase the chance of success by dragging them to the booster slot at the totem. Pink potions provide 10%, green provide 15%, but only one can be used per stone.
As the player gets deeper in the caves, the minerals/ores get harder and take longer to mine. The levels are as follows:
| Ore/Minerals | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ore/Mineral | Level of Mines | Pets | |||
| Stone | 1 | Crabs | |||
| Coal | 2 | Bats | |||
| Iron | 3 | Rats | |||
| Gold Ore | 4 | Cave Snails | |||
| Platinum | 5 | Bunnies | |||
| Tanzanite | 6 | Worms | |||
| Goblins Gate (no ore) | 7 | none | |||
| Emerald | 8 | Chickens | |||
| Ruby | 9 | Moles | |||
| Jade | 10 | Ducks | |||
| Insatiable Ore | 11 | Pigs | |||
| Insatiable Cracked Stone | 12 | Buffalo | |||
| Mitar Ore | Only available in Mitar | No pet available | |||
There are also four colored "Material for the Enhance Stone" (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green). These are used in crafting, specifically portal scrolls and the different pet enhance stones. There is no specific node to mine the four colored "Material for the Enhance Stone", but they can be gathered by manually mining at any level of the mine. The ratio gets better the deeper you get up until the best ratio at level 10, Jade. They can still be found at levels 11 and 12, but not as often.
