Mining is the skill associated with breaking rocks, mainly in The Mines. Larger or more valuable rocks and nodes take more hits or a stronger Pickaxe to break.
Mines Access
During the first four days of the game, The Mines are closed due to a landslide caused by the Joja Corporation. After 4 days, you will receive a letter in the mail saying that Joja Corp. has cleared the landslide, and you will have access to The Mines.
Mining Skill
Mining Skill is increased by breaking rocks. Each level adds +1 to Pickaxe proficiency.
You are awarded mining skill points when rocks are destroyed -- it doesn't matter if this is done by Pickaxe, Bombs, or by the action of Monsters.

Experience Points
Different rock types give different numbers of experience points. While generic rocks inside The Mines provide no experience bonus on their own, if coal is dropped, you are awarded 5 experience points (except in the case of the two gray rocks pictured below). No other "extra" drops from breaking rocks inside the Mines award experience points.
Breaking open a meteor dropped on The Farm during a Meteorite event awards no experience.
Rock Type | Experience |

Any Rock (outside The Mines) | 1 If coal is dropped: 5 |
Gray Boulder (outside The Mines) | 0 |
Rock (inside The Mines) | 0 |
Either of these dark gray rocks (inside The Mines) | 3 If coal is dropped: 4 |

Mining Nodes
All nodes (other than the Geode Nodes) may be found in the Skull Cavern or Quarry.
Image | Name | Contains | Mine Location |
---|---|---|---|
Amethyst Node | Amethyst | Mines (any level) | |
Aquamarine Node | Aquamarine | Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; Level 40+ otherwise) | |
Copper Node | Copper Ore | Mines (any level) | |
Diamond Node | Diamond | Mines (Level 50+) | |
Emerald Node | Emerald | Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; does not appear otherwise) | |
Gem Node | Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Jade, Prismatic Shard, Ruby, or Topaz | Mines (any level) | |
Gold Node | Gold Ore | Mines (Level 80+) | |
Iridium Node | Iridium Ore, and a 4% chance for 1 Prismatic Shard | Skull Cavern only | |
Iron Node | Iron Ore | Mines (Level 40+) | |
Jade Node | Jade | Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; Level 40+ otherwise) | |
Mystic Stone | 1-3 Iridium Ore, 1-4 Gold Ore, and a 25% chance of 1 Prismatic Shard | Mines (Level 100-120) | |
Ruby Node | Ruby | Mines (any level after reaching bottom of mines; does not appear otherwise) | |
Topaz Node | Topaz | Mines (any level) | |
Geode Node | Geode | Hill-top Farm Map only | |
Frozen Geode Node | Frozen Geode | Hill-top Farm Map only | |
Magma Geode Node | Magma Geode | Hill-top Farm Map only |
Diamond Nodes begin appearing at level 50 in the mines, at approximately 1 in 500 chance of appearing in place of a stone. For every level after level 50, frequency increases by .000016 per level. This makes for a .0028 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 100 (1.2 in 500 or 7 in 2500), and ultimately a .003104 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 119 (1.552 in 500 or 194 in 62500).
The chance for Gem Nodes to appear is very small, but is slightly increased by Mining Skill level and Daily Luck. The chance for Mystic Stones to appear is also increased by Mining Skill Level and daily Luck.
