Mines

The standard mines goes from level 10 to 80. There are mines up to 120 in Grimroot.

The mines are used to gather Silver Units (SU) and Gold Units (GU) and can be accessed from either Aston, Brannington or Grimroot.

Each level of the mines gives more SU and GU. SU is mined in the light gray areas and GU is mined at the back in the dark grey areas. You can obtain a Pick of Yedney from the level 10 mines in the bottom right that will let you mine both SU and GU or pick which one you want.

The Professions Athlete and Miner effect your mining ability. Athlete effects how fast you mine, Miner increase the amount of units you find and both effect how much endurance you spend. Note Minder does not increase the frequency that you find units.

The Gold Door room in each level of the mines can only be collected once per year per toon, not per account.

Broklin in Brannington will trade 5,000 Silver Units for 1,000 Gold Units or will trade 1,000 Gold Units for 4,000 Silver Units.

Pick of Yedney

This item will give a bonus to mining yields when it is in your inventory and not set to Off.

The higher level the pick has the bigger the bonus.

Click it to cycle between Off, All, Silver and Gold.

The All state will give a bonus to both Silver and Gold.

Silver and Gold states will only give a bonus when you find their respective ore.

How do I get the Pick?

Upon finding Yedney in level 10 mines at (250,250) he will ask you to bring a special torch to Ruby.

Bringing this torch to Ruby will yield a level 0 Pick of Yedney with very little charge.

How do I recharge the Pick?

The Pick has a hidden charge counter which gets depleted when finding silver and/or gold units in the mines.

When this charge reaches 0 the pick will no longer work until you recharge it.

To recharge you need to use at least 1000 gold units on the Pick.

Looking at the Pick will show you an approximate charge (heavy/light/empty).

To be able to recharge the Pick the charge must be light (below 2000).

Bringing the Pick back to Yedney in mines and giving it to him will make him say the exact charge left.

How do I level up the Pick?

Recharging the pick causes it to level up. It takes quite some mining to deplete the pick to a point where you can recharge it.
