Mines
For a list of artifacts and their locations, see the Artifacts page. For a list of monsters and their locations, see Monsters.
The Mines is located in the northern part of The Narrows. This area is unlocked upon reaching Town Rank: Stone. It is an area of the game where you can gather unique resources and kill monsters. Players can traverse deeper into the mines by breaking rocks and killing monsters to find ladders. The current deepest level is 60. It is possible to faint in the mines.
The Mines are home to three Biomes; Upper Mines, Tide Caverns, and Deep Earth. Each Biome contains different loot drops, enemies, and creatures (such as fish or insects).
In the Mines Entrance is a Dragon Statue that can be used to manage Mining and Combat Skill Perks.
Basic Premise/Tips
- You start on the Ground Floor (G).
- There is a ladder down to Floor 1.
- There is an elevator that can bring you down to every fifth floor (5, 10, 15, 20 etc) once you've reached them manually.
- Each fifth floor of the mines has a set layout, but individual rock types and monsters can vary.
- Going to G and then back into the mines resets the floors.
- You can jump over gaps and swim in the water to access other areas of the floor.
- Some rocks may be slightly hidden by walls.
- Crates and barrels are breakable with your sword, and sometimes drop loot.
Ladders
- Bring you down one floor deeper into the mines.
- Going up the ladder brings you back to the Mines Entrance, not the previous floor.
- Can appear after mining a diggable tile.
- Can appear after killing a monster.
Unique Floor Types
There are different types of floors. The icon next to the floor number indicates which floor type you are currently on. This includes, but may not be limited to:
Treasure Room
This type of room is unlocked through the Mining Skill Perk Treasure Hunter. It spawns a random chest, ladder, and several of that floor's biome-respective ore. They are possible to farm, if you return to the surface and go into the mines again- once a treasure room has been established on a floor, it will remain there for the rest of the day. It is possible to get multiple treasure rooms in a row.
Dragon Priestess Floor
Rarely, Dragon Priestess statues can be found in the mines. By placing an offering, a gift is granted to you. This gift can be 
?, 
25, or 
?.
Known offerings:
- 10 Stone
- 3 Iron ore
- 3 Coral
Fountain Floor
Rarely, a pool of drinkable water can be found. Interacting with the water will give you a one-time increase of 20 and 20. You will not receive anything if the respective bar is already full.
Locked Ladder Floor
These types of floors require the player to switch a lever to proceed to the next floor.
A locked ladder
An unflipped switch (off)
A flipped switch (on) (ouch!)
The ladder is now unlocked.
Normal Floor
This room contains nothing special.
Treasure Chests
Note: Mines Treasure Chests are not to be confused with Treasure Boxes acquired from fishing. They both have two distinct loot tables.
Starting from Floor 2 onwards, Treasure Chests have a chance of spawning. They come in three rarities: copper, silver, and gold. Each chest contains some money and ore from the respective biome.
