FAQ
What should I upgrade first: power or luck?
Raise power until you can break the rocks in your current region, then stack luck for rare ores. Power gates access; luck improves drop quality.
Why can't I mine a rock?
Your pickaxe power is below that rock's requirement. Upgrade the pick or mine a softer node first.
What do rune slots on pickaxes do?
They hold mining runes that add luck or other mining bonuses. Slot luck runes when farming rare ores.
How do I check drop odds for my pick?
Open the ore chance calculator, select your pickaxe, add rune luck and buffs, then expand rock rows.
