WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Mining Ores
The Mines in the north of the Mountains, accessible after the early landslide is cleared.
Before you go
- Pickaxe in usable condition.
- Access to the Mines after the landslide opens the entrance.
- Food and combat gear for a sustained trip.
Farming steps
- Enter the Mines from the Mountains once the entrance is accessible.
- Choose a floor band using the elevator progress you have already unlocked and the ore tier you need.
- Break visible ore nodes with the Pickaxe; the type and amount of ore generally increase with depth.
- Clear rocks or defeat enemies to reveal a ladder, then descend when continuing the run is worthwhile.
- Use elevator checkpoints to return to a known depth on a later visit rather than restarting from the top.
- Carry food and combat equipment, and leave when health, time, or inventory space makes continuing impractical.
- At home, smelt gathered ore into bars for crafting and upgrades that support the farm.
- Match the floor depth to your target material instead of wandering without a resource goal.
- Bring enough food to recover during combat-heavy sections and keep inventory room for ore.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat mining trips as needed. Ore nodes and floor outcomes vary; elevator progress provides reusable access to reached checkpoints.
Common mistakes
- Entering without a pickaxe or useful food; prepare before committing to a run.
- Staying on shallow floors when seeking deeper ore tiers; descend through unlocked floors toward the relevant depth.
- Filling inventory with low-priority items; leave space for the materials you came to collect.
When to stop or switch
Leave when you have the needed ore, your supplies are low, or the remaining time is better spent smelting and crafting.
