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 and Piles

Pickaxes

Name	Speed Buff	Mining Level
Bronze Pickaxe	10%	1
Iron Pickaxe	20%	10
Silver Pickaxe	30%	20
Gold Pickaxe	40%	30
Meteor Pickaxe	60% (+ bonus on Meteors)	50
Promethium Pickaxe	50%	50
Titanium Pickaxe	60%	65
Ancient Pickaxe	70%	75
Dragon Pickaxe	80%	82

The Meteor Pickaxe provides 60% speed like Titanium, but has a higher bonus when mining Meteors specifically.

Ores

Standard Ore Nodes

Standard ore nodes will yield a single ore before depleting. All standard ores work with Mining Potion. Copper, Iron, Silver, and Gold standard ore nodes work with an Orebar Potion.

Name	Rock	Level	XP	Location	Notes
Coal		1	10	Mine (all floors), Meteor	Primary smelting fuel; very common
Copper		1	15	Mine (1st floor, outside), Meteor	Used for Bronze Bars
Iron		5	40	Mine (2nd floor), Meteor	Uncommon; also yields Nails material
Silver		15	90	Mine (2nd floor), Beach, Meteor	Rare in mine, uncommon at Beach
Gold		30	500	Mine (2nd floor), Sewer, Beach, Meteor	Very rare in mine and sewer, uncommon at Beach
Promethium		50	1,000	Mine, Hell, Meteor	Requires Charcoal to smelt
Titanium		65	2,500	Hell, Meteor	Requires Charcoal to smelt
Graphite	—	70	500	Volcano	Used for Ancient tools and Graphite Bucket
Ancient		80	5,000	Meteor, Volcano (after Volcanic Bridge Quest)	Requires Charcoal + Lava Bucket to smelt

Shiny Ores

10% Chance after depleting a 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. This effect will stack with any potion effects.

There is also Piles, which have 1% to become shiny(provided by Smitty) after replenishing, yielding 2-3x Paydirts and Xp when mined but doesn't last long because of the crowd.

Large Ore Nodes

Coal, Copper, Iron, and Silver each have a Giant Ore variant - these take much longer to mine per action, but will last for many ores before depleting.

Large ore nodes do not work with Orebar Potion.

Name	Ore	Rock	Level	XP	Location	Notes
Coal					Everbrook Furnace
Copper					Everbrook Mine
Iron					Beach
Silver					Volcano

Bonus Drops

Mold Rock - Every tick spent mining any ore(including Volcky) gives a chance to obtain Mold Rock. When used, it provides a random amount of Rockshrooms (see Farming).

Charcoal Wall

The Charcoal Wall in the 3rd layer of Hell can be mined. This requires Level 50 Mining and will cost you 2,000 Coins per Charcoal. Standing in this area will damage you unless wearing Stone Boots (which can be purchased from the nearby dwarf) or Granite Boots.

This wall is tied to 2 Achievement. It takes 30k ticks(15k seconds or 4 hours and 10 minutes) to mine this wall.

Meteor

The Meteor is a Community Event which falls in a random location every hour. When mined, it will yield a random ore that you have the level to mine. Occasionally, a Meteor fragment artifact can also be found.

Occasionally, the meteor will be a Gem Meteor which also has a chance to rarely yield gems.

At the end of the hour, the meteor will be depleted and move to a new location. An Alien has a chance to spawn which will give rewards.

Armour

Currently, the only Mining Armour in the game Features Necklaces and 3 Pieces of a Set.

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% higher chance of finding gems from Small Ore Nodes. A golden version gives a 30% higher chance to find gems from small ore nodes.

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.

Prospecting

Prospecting is accessible in the Mines Second floor, you have to go into the hole in the wall to reach it. It Features Mining Paydirt, filtering through it, and spending the rewards in buying Mining Gear.

Mining Paydirt

There are 5 Paydirt piles on the left side of the room, mining them will yield approximately 15-35 paydirt, and the piles usually last 5-6 minutes before they have to be replenished, like normal ore nodes.
They can also become shiny like ore nodes, yield greater payouts (Needs testing on the amounts). The amount of Paydirt you get can also be increased by double with a Mining Potion, and stacks with a Shiny Pile.

Filtering And Processing

Once you have enough Paydirt (1,000) and you are ready for it to be processed, put 100 Coal into the Conveyor Furnace. This means the Filter Machine can hold 1,000 Paydirt, and putting more coal increased the cap by 1,000.
Click on the Deposit Arrow to input all of your paydirt, and collect your Filtered Rewards at the Examine Results table. Collecting from the Examine Results Table will yield Mining Xp based on how many Paydirt Filtered (1xp Per)

Rewards

Occasionally, Gems can be found in the cleaned paydirt.
