Mine resources
Mine Iron and Later Ores
Iron, gems, and rare crystals supply deeper progression, tool work, and seal-related goals.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Mine Iron and Later Ores
Deeper Mines floors reached through the Water and Earth seals, followed by later Fire, Void, and Ruins progression.
Before you go
- Mines access and a pickaxe suitable for the currently opened floors.
- Completed preceding seal turn-ins to raise elevator access.
- Food, combat supplies, and inventory space for ore, gems, and crystals.
Farming steps
- Check the next seal and tool needs so you know which ores, gems, or crystals to retain.
- Enter through the elevator and travel to the deepest floor band currently open to you.
- Search reachable floors for iron, gem, and crystal nodes; break targets that match your current need.
- Collect materials while also locating the exit and handling threats that block the route.
- Turn in the required materials at the seal or progression prompt when ready, then confirm whether access has expanded.
- Use the elevator on another visit to resume near the latest opened band and gather newly available resources.
- Store required materials before selling or crafting with the remainder.
- Follow the Water, Earth, Fire, Void, and Ruins progression order; later bands depend on earlier seals.
- Retain uncommon materials for turn-ins until the next gate is complete.
Repeat, collect and use
Ore and material runs can be repeated on accessible floors. Seal turn-ins are progression milestones, while deeper resource access depends on opening the next route.
Common mistakes
- Trying to reach a later seal before the preceding gate is complete wastes time; follow the unlocked elevator range.
- Spending a rare gem or crystal before checking the seal requirements can delay progress; reserve known turn-in needs.
- Ignoring combat and stamina while collecting nodes may leave no safe route out; set a return point for each run.
When to stop or switch
Stop the current resource run when you have the materials for the next seal or upgrade, or when health and stamina make further exploration unsafe.
