Mining

The mining skill is used to gather ores which can be used in the smithing skill. Like the trainers you start of with 1 miner and up to 5 more can be bought once the required H20 level has been reached. Each miner can mine 1 type of ore at a time, you unlock new types of ore by leveling up the mining skill. The first miner unlocks a new ore type every 5 levels, all the other miners unlock them at increasingly higher mining levels. There are currently 16 different ores. The miners can be upgraded in value and speed like the skillers, with value increasing nr. of ores and experience and speed increasing the repetitions per minute. Max mining speed for each miner appears to be approximately 303.6 at which point only boosts will make it faster. The final speed upgrade for miner #6 is approximately 61M

## Miners

There are six available miners, each able to be trained every 6 H2O levels and cost gold to be hired.

 Gold Cost

## Ores

Every miner can gather a new type of ore every 5 levels but the starting level is offset by 2 between each miner.

## Mining Boosts

### Mining Kits

Each miner can be equipped with a mining kit that boosts their ore output. Only one kit can be equipped per miner, thus making it unnecessary to craft more than six at a time. If more than one tier of mining kits are crafted, only the highest tier bonus will be used; mining kit bonuses do not stack on each other.

### Crystals

Crystals can be inserted into crystal slots on each mining vein for bonuses. Both crystals and first crystal slots are unlocked through the Rebirth screen after clearing the Dungeon. Additional crystals, as well as the second and third crystal slots can be purchased through the Gem Shop.
