Guides

Overview

Mining is modified by the following relics:

Endless Harvest makes obtaining ore twice as fast and removes banking time.

Production Prodigy is not directly beneficial to Mining training, but allows instant production of the materials with Smithing.

Banker's Note allows players to note resources without going to a bank.

Crashed stars

Mining crashed stars offers low experience rates but requires very little attention. As part of the Shooting Stars Distraction and Diversion, a shooting star will fall at a random spot across all areas. This method becomes available at level 10 Mining, however higher tier stars require higher levels. The mined stardust can be exchanged for a celestial ring , which gives an invisible +4 boost to Mining.

Note that 14,000 Stardust are required to complete tasks related to the Trailblazer Reloaded League to complete the full golden prospector set and for a Celestial Ring. This number can be minimized to 12,400 Stardust if the ring is purchased first and then sold back to recoup some of the stardust.

League stars are commonly called out in the official shooting stars chat. They are typically indicated by "(l)" at the end of the message.
