# 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 — but it pays off!

### 📖 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

***

### ⛏️ How to Start Mining

1. Carry the required item: each ore requires 1 pickaxe, so make sure to have several in your inventory.<br>
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

{% hint style="info" %}
⚠️ If you're too far, your character will auto-walk to the Ore if auto-walk is enabled.
{% endhint %}

### 🔋 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 ![](https://3388125360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FH7T8kvv96bMT8CZv8WFZ%2Fuploads%2FQi0jJGxHRhe7nEjZFjC1%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=61337f78-3528-4f47-9a09-ab9abcde792e) **RO Manual Book** → “Mining Information.”

### 👑 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.

### 🧠 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** — a minor event that can **cause an accident and instantly kill your character**. Stay alert! ⚠️
* **Want to go AFK mining?** Not a good idea. **Earthquakes don’t forgive — and neither do PK addicts.**
