Duskmine Mining Guide

Duskmine (the Mining Area) is a click-to-dig resource gatherer -- pick a route, spend Energy, get a random reward. Here is how routes, Mining Level, and the streak bonus actually work.

How to mine

Open Mining Area from the menu, pick one of the three routes below, and click its Mine button. Each click is a single instant dig that costs Energy -- there is no map or tile grid, just one button per route.

Mining Level

Your Mining Level rises automatically the more you mine -- every 75 total digs (successful or not) raises it by 1. Higher Mining Levels unlock the harder routes below and slightly improve your odds on Ruby/Sapphire/Topaz/Gold rewards.

The three routes

• Gem Tunnel -- 2 Energy per dig, available from the start. The safest route: no chance of a cave collapse.
• Crystal Cavern -- 4 Energy per dig, unlocks at Mining Level 5. Better average rewards, but has a real chance of a cave collapse that costs your dig and resets your streak with nothing to show for it.
• Ancient Depths -- 6 Energy per dig, unlocks at Mining Level 10. The best rewards and a rare jackpot chance for a large Kohinoor payout, but the highest cave collapse chance of the three.

Mining Streak

Consecutive digs that actually reward you with Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Gold, Fossil, or Coins build a streak, up to a cap, giving a growing bonus to your Ruby/Sapphire/Topaz/Gold amounts. A cave collapse or an empty result breaks the streak back to zero -- and note the streak itself does not persist between sessions, so logging out resets it too.

What the resources are for

Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and Fossil (along with Coins) are spent in the Crafting Area to craft Eggs. Kohinoor is the rarest find, mainly from Ancient Depths and its jackpot.

If you see a math question while mining

That is an anti-bot check triggered by mining unusually fast (script/macro speeds, not normal clicking). Answer it correctly and mining continues as normal.
