Progression Guide
From Miners Settlement - Game Wiki
This will be a Progression guide on how to get to the current end game. It will outlay some options in how you would like to progress (using market, no market, crafting everything, etc). It will also explain the why something works and doesn't.
Important note: Do not ever sell wood and iron as a beginner, you will need a lot at first. If you plan on also crafting your own gear, you will need gold and platinum.
You will also need some Insatiable Ore and Insatiable Cracked Stone to craft Rune Stone so if possible, do not sell those as well.
New Game
- The very first thing you will want to do when starting the game is getting the Demonic Pickaxe.
- Once you start, do not accept any scheme, other than the Goblin Key schemes, the Common Pickaxe schemes, and the Scroll of Portal schemes.
- After a few quests, you will see a purple heart icon show up to ask you to review the game for 2 Demonic Pickaxe schemes. ***CAUTION*** Be absolutely sure that no one will come and talk to you after you hit the purple icon, as many have had the old man come and talk to them and disrupt the review, leaving them unable to get the 2 parts. One way to do this would be to not press the icon until you return in the Stone Mine, as you won't ever receive a quest from there.
- Once you have these 2 parts, you will need to rebuild the airport on the western side of the village. There are 2 tabs in the airport, both are unlocked from the start. Got to the chest tab and use Shards to open up the 10 chests for the day. Since the chest only gives schemes that are started, and not completed, it will guarantee you 10 more Demonic Pickaxe schemes. That brings you up to 12/16.
- Now there are 2 ways to go about this. The first way is to wait the 24 hours for the chest to reset and get the last 4 pieces as guaranteed drops (again, do not accept any more schemes during that wait time). During this time, you will want to unlock all the mines down to Jade, as to craft the Demonic Pickaxe, you will need 250 Jade, 1k Emerald, 5k Ruby, and 30k Tanzanite, this can easily be done in the 24 hour period you're waiting. The second method is to buy 2 more schemes with gems, then finish all the quests up with schemes and the old man will give you 2 more in a quest (you MUST double this quest via ad if using this method, or you'll need to purchase the last piece with gems), only do this second method if you have all the materials mined to craft it and have the gems required.
- Once you have all 16 schemes, go ahead and complete all quests and have fun mining!!!
Getting to the dungeon
- To access the dungeon, you will need to rebuild the bridge and craft a Dagger (scheme given as part of a quest reward).
- The bridge will require you to have:
- The Dagger will require you to have: 10 Processed Wood and 2 Iron Bars
- Processed Wood and Iron Bars can only be crafted at this point in the game, hence why it's recommended to not sell your wood and iron so you can easily craft them.
