Mining System

Summary

"Minery System is a good way to earn zeny and get good equipment if you recently started playing in Dro"

Start Mining

First, you must purchase the Drilling Boots from David Goldstein in Einbroch 50 200. Normal price of the boots is 500.000.000 zeny

• 

You are encouraged to equip the boots to gain access to new mining skills. The first step in the mining process is making a drill.

In order to make a drill you must send a whisper to "npc:mine" with the word "make". 

It may take several attempts before you succeed in making your drill. Just keep repeating the process until you succeed.

Once you have your Drilling Boots and you have created your drill you will be ready to start drilling..but first, you have to find the mine!

You must go to a map where mines are known to be found and try to find the exact spot where the mine is located. They are invisible but luckily you have a "Detection" miner skill that will guide you on finding the mine's location.

In order to detect the mine simply send any message to "npc:mine" - For example, "Drill", "Detect", or.."sdjskja". Anything will work.

The Detection skill will advise you to move up, down, left or right until you find the exact location of the mine. It may take a few attempts before you actually find the mine, but once you do..you can mine it for quite a while before the mine is destroyed or runs out of minerals.

Once you find the exact location of the Mine, you can again send a message to "npc:mine" to start drilling the mine and excavating valuable minerals.

Once you start mining you will start noticing that the Drill gets hotter whenever you drill on a mine. You must pay attention to the "Heat" in your chatbox because if your drill reaches a Heat of 100 the drill will break and you will have to create another drill whispering "make" to "npc:mine".

It is recommended that you stop drilling when you reach a heat of 80-90 in order to make sure your drill does not break. It usually takes only a few seconds for the drill to cool down after you stop so you can begin drilling again soon after.

Miner Skill

Whenever you mine you will earn Miner EXP. This experience is used to level up your Mining Skills. Even when you do not find any items in the mine, your miner exp will still increase. The deeper you dig, the more experience you will earn. However, keep in mind that if you break your drill or you move while drilling, you will lose Miner EXP. You can check your current mining level and experience on the message that appears each time you drill.

When you level up, you will be awarded with Miner Skill points. These points can be used to level up Miner Skills that will increase your productivity while mining. You get at a minimum 3 skill points per level, but the number of skill points received may vary depending on your Miner Level.

To view all skills and/or to level up Miner Skills send a whisper to "npc:mine" with the word "skill".
