# Mining System
**UPDATED:** More info [here.](https://ro0-4.gitbook.io/godro/server-updates/patches/08032025#mining-system-update)
Welcome to the *Mining System*, an account-shared feature that allows players to mine special ores in designated fields, collect valuable loot, and climb the **Weekly Mining Rankings** for exclusive rewards. Mining requires energy, proper tools, and a bit of patience β but it pays off!
***
### π Overview
* **Map:** `ein_dun02` (ores spawn here)
* **System Type:** Account-wide progress (shared across characters)
* **Goal:** Mine ores to earn points, gather loot, and compete in weekly leaderboards
***
### βοΈ How to Start Mining
1. Carry the required item: each ore requires 1 pickaxe, so make sure to have several in your inventory.
2. Go to the mining zone (`ein_dun02`)
3. Approach an Ore (distance must be within 2 cells)
4. Click the Ore to begin mining

β οΈ If you're too far, your character will auto-walk to the Ore if auto-walk is enabled.
{% endhint %}
***
### π Energy System
Mining consumes **Miner Energy**, which regenerates daily at midnight.
| Player Type | Max Energy |
| ----------- | ---------- |
| Normal | 1000 |
| VIP | 3000 |
* Energy cost per mining attempt varies based on the **ore type**.
* If you run out of energy, you must wait until the next day or use recovery items (future feature).
You can see your current energy by using the in-game  **RO Manual Book** β βMining Information.β
***
#### βοΈ Energy Cost per Ore Type

{% hint style="info" %}
Energy cost is randomly rolled each time you mine based on the ore's type. Higher tiers cost more but offer better loot.
{% endhint %}

| Legendary | Ember Dust | 3 - 5 | 20.00% |
| | Starshard Dust | 3 - 4 | 30.00% |
{% hint style="info" %}
Each ore gives loot randomly based on drop chances. Rarer ores have better rewards but fewer spawn points.
{% endhint %}
***
### π Mining Rewards
* Normal Ore - Grants 1 Point.
* Rare Ore - Grants 2 Points.
* Legendary Ore - Grants 3 Points.
* Points are **account-bound** and tracked for ranking.
***
### π Weekly Rankings
At the end of every week (**Sunday midnight**), the top 3 miners receive rewards via in-game mail.
#### Example Reward Table:
| Rank | Zeny | Items |
| ---- | --------- | --------------------------------- |
| 1st | 1,000,000 | 10x Red Potion, 5x Orange Potion |
| 2nd | 500,000 | 7x Yellow Potion, 3x White Potion |
| 3rd | 250,000 | 5x Blue Potion |
* Rewards are mailed to your **highest-ranked character** on that account
* Points are **reset** after distribution
You can view current rankings via:
 RO Manual Book β βMining Rankingsβ
***
### π VIP Benefits
VIP status increases your energy cap:
* **Normal:** 1,000 max energy
* **VIP:** 3,000 max energy
This lets VIP players mine more frequently per day and rank up faster.
***
### π§ Tips & Tricks
* Always carry the required when heading to the mines.
* Mining consumes weight! Make sure you have enough **free weight capacity**.
* Check rankings regularly if you're aiming for weekly rewards.
* More mining = more points = better rewards. Grind smart!
* **Don't forget:** Ore may cause an **Earthquake** β a minor event that can **cause an accident and instantly kill your character**. Stay alert! β οΈ
* **Want to go AFK mining?** Not a good idea. **Earthquakes donβt forgive β and neither do PK addicts.**
