How to mine
Coal mining depends heavily on ping; try to stay under 120 ms. Routes send you up and down a lot, so you are often in mid-air, where blocks take five times more Mining Speed to break than on the ground.
Go to the start of the route and mine. When your pickaxe ability is ready, switch to the drill with the Blue Cheese Goblin Omelette, use the ability and keep mining. When the route is done, change lobby.
Craft the Coal and Hard Stone from your sessions into enchanted items to earn more, but never craft Enchanted Coal Blocks.
Mining Speed tips
- Strong Arm currently gives 25 Mining Speed per level on Hard Stone by mistake, 2,500 at max level. Take it if you struggle to reach the instamine thresholds.
- A level 100 Goblin pet gives 1,250 Mining Speed for the same reason.
Ironman
The guide works for Ironman and Classic profiles. If you are past progression and mine for money, focus on the max column.
