Mining is one of heRO custom features. It allows the gathering of gems, stones and other items on some specific locations called the Mining Spots.

Quest

Quest Guy

Mining can be first experienced in the Coal Mines located in Mjolnir Field. You can get there by using the Kafra's teleportation service from Aldebaran or Geffen to Mjolnir Dead Pit for 1,700 zeny.

To start mining, a quest given by the old miner in front of the entrance of the Coal Mines needs to be done. He will ask the player for the following items:

• 5 Meat (Wootan Fighter, Wolfs, Hydra, etc. Also can be bought at Butcher NPCs. Locations here.)
• 2 Piece Of Cake (Baba Yaga, Myst Case)
• 2 Apple juice (Mastering, Juice Making Quest)
• 2 Lanterns (Skeleton Worker, Pitman)

After giving him the requested items, he will explain how to mine and start selling picks, which can be used to mine. The player can choose to either buy just 1 for 1,000z or get the more economical option of 20 for 15000z.

Mining Spot

Mining spot location

The Mining Spot is located in the third level of the Coal Mine in the lower Western corner. Hover the mouse cursor in the huge rock in the middle of the lower west corner of the map in order to see the mining spot. (mjo_dun03 55, 56)

Where To Mine

Advanced Mining Spot

Advanced mining spot location

The spot is in the second level of the Einbroch Mine Dungeon in the middle down the cliff. Hover the mouse cursor down the cliff in order to see the mining spot. (ein_dun02 130, 132). Certain requirements need to be met before the player can start mining from this Mining Spot.

Requirements:

• Base level 70
• 50 Mining Points

Where To Mine

Mining Points

As more time is spent mining, the player has a chance to earn Mining Points. The more points the player have, the less chance the player will yield stones from mining, therefore increasing the overall mining rate.

The Coal Mine will only increase Mining Points up to 50. At 50 points, the advanced mining location is unlocked, which allows accumulation of points beyond just 50.

After 70 points, instead of simply earning another Mining Point, the Old Miner will show up with a quiz. If answered correctly, he will award the player with a mining point and a Strong Pick. This is apparently an anti-botting mechanism set in place which penalize the player if the wrong answer is repeated many times.

The maximum possible points which the player can accumulate is 100.

Mini Game

Mining Mini Game

There is a low chance that, instead of getting an item, the player is teleported into a special room for a mining mini game. Here, the player has two minutes to kill easy waves of monsters, rewarding good drops and experience. Listed below are the waves of monsters in the exact order of their appearance. The player can only proceed to the next wave once the current wave spawned wave is defeated.

• 4 Blockring
• 3 Bronzering
• 2 Silverring
• 1 Goldring

Mining Hat Quest

• Orichalcum Ore can extremely rarely be found at the advanced mining spot in the Einbech Mines.
• The Old Miner at the Coal Mine entrance has an option to talk about Orichalcum.
• He will attempt to refine 5 Orichalcum Ore into 1 Orichalcum, but this only has an 80% success rate.
• With 10 Orichalcum, the Mining Hat can be assembled.
• Similar to the Fish Head for Fishing, this hat will reduce the chance of rubbish item drops from mining.
