Mining is a gathering skill in FlatMMO. Players mine ore nodes to collect ores, which are smelted into bars through Forging and then crafted into Armour, weapons, and Tools. Mining also yields Gems as rare drops from any ore node.
A Bronze Pickaxe is automatically given to new players on first login. You can speed up mining in 2 ways: better tools and leveling. Every 2 levels after you've unlocked an ore will reduce the ticks required to mine it by 1, and every 10 levels for Meteor.

Ores
Coal, Copper, and Iron each have a Giant Ore variant - these take much longer to mine and yield only 1 ore.

1 | 10 | Mine (all floors), Meteor | Primary smelting fuel; very common |
| Copper |  |

Bonus Drops
Mold Rock - Every tick spent mining any ore gives a chance to obtain Mold Rock. When used, it provides a random amount of Rockshrooms (see Farming).
Shiny Ores
10% Chance that when mining node rocks, that it will become shiny, yielding 3x Ore and XP when mined. You will know it's become shiny by the white lines formed on it.
Gems
Gems are rare finds when mining any ore (except Giant Ore variants). Higher-tier ores have a higher chance of yielding gems. Gems are used in Crafting (cutting), Enchantment (enchanting and Stardust conversion), and Forging (necklaces and keys). Wearing a Gem Beads Necklace gives a 15% chance of finding gems from Small Ore Nodes.
| Name | Picture | Beads Dwarf Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Sapphire |  |
1/2,000 |
| Emerald |  |
1/3,000 |
| Ruby |  |
1/6,000 |
| Diamond |  |
1/8,000 |
Smelting
The Furnace is located on the 1st floor of the Mine. Players smelt ores into bars here - this requires Forging levels, not Mining levels. Higher-tier ores need more Coal (and Charcoal for Promethium and above, and Graphite for Ancient). Glass is also smelted here from Sand, which can be sped up using a Sandsmelt Potion. You can smelt bars one at a time or use bulk smelt to do your whole inventory.
See Forging for the full smelting recipe table.
Charcoal Kiln
The Charcoal Kiln is in the 2nd room of the Mine's 2nd floor. Charcoal is required for smelting Promethium, Titanium, and Ancient bars.
To make 1 Charcoal: 50 Woodchips + 600 Coins. Once processed, the Charcoal appears on the ground - click to collect. It will not despawn after logging off or after updates.
You may also Right-Click on your currect Charcoal Pile to see how much is currently inside it.
Mine Layout

The entrance to the main Mining area is east of Everbrook. The outside area has 2 Coal nodes and 1 Copper node.
First Floor
The first floor contains Copper nodes, Coal nodes, and the Furnace. A ladder leads down to the second floor.
Second Floor
The second floor has many Iron nodes, a single Silver node, and 2 Giant Ore nodes. The fenced-off area requires level 40 Forging and level 40 Mining to access. Two Rockys patrol this floor and drop mining-related items.
