How to mine

Turn off Jump Boost and Rabbit effects in the Booster Cookie menu, and turn Night Vision off. Place the Will-o’-wisp at the coordinates above and mine with the Promising Shovel, using Maniac Miner whenever it is ready.

Holding W with A or D is about 2.3% faster. Mouse-only mining binds help too.
