Resource mines

On the land of clones, nine types of mines have been opened, which allow the extraction of various resources, such as sapphires, amethysts, rubies, emeralds, diamonds, amber, elvereon stone, portaline stone and black pearls. In addition, you can mine a certain amount of gold every day (with the exception of amber mines, black pearl mines, sand mines, elvereon and portaline mines).

To trade precious metals and stones profitably, consider buying a mine. You can purchase mines at a mine auction. Additional information about mine trading can be found in the relevant auction section.

Types of mines #

There are 11 types of mines in the game:

  • Plot on the river (sapphire mining).
  • Large river mine (amethyst mining).
  • A site in a quarry (ruby mining).
  • Large open pit mine (ruby mining).
  • Small mining operation (amethyst and emerald mining).
  • Large-scale mining (ruby and diamond mining).
  • Amber mine (amber mining).
  • Elvereyon mine (Elvereyon mining).
  • Portalin mine (portalin mining).
  • Black pearl mining (black pearl extraction).
  • Sand mining (sand extraction).

It is also worth noting that when developing an amber mine, there is a chance to find an amber stone with a drop of the blood of an ancient dragon frozen inside it. The chance of finding such a stone is 1 in 10,000.

Elvereon stone mines are available only on the Enclave game server, and Portaline stone mines are available only on the Metropolis game server.

Right to development #

Clones of the social status “craftsman” and above have the right to develop mines, subject to obtaining the geologist’s education at the University. Any clone with the appropriate education has the opportunity to buy an unlimited number of mines.

The right to develop a mine for a period of 120 days can be purchased at auction. New mines discovered by government geologists of the clone lands are put up for auction.

It should be noted that black pearl mines, sand mines, saltpeter mines, amber mines, as well as elvereone and portaline mines require a lot of preparatory work, since they are located in hard-to-reach places - therefore, the regularity of their arrival at the auction is unknown. If you want to become an owner of tthat sort of mines, carefully follow the mine auction! Information about the release of other types of mines is reported in game news.

After purchasing a mine at an auction, it cannot be sold to other players. However, gems mined from the mines can be freely sold on the commodity exchange.

Mines development #

To develop each mine, you need to spend 6 units of stamina daily. If the clone owner of the mine does not have enough stamina, then production at the mine is not carried out on that day, but the mine development period is reduced by 1 day. It is important to monitor your stamina level and maintain it through the refectory.

The gold you mine is credited to your game account at the scheduled time every day. However, it should be noted that amber mines, black pearl mines, sand mines, saltpeter mines, elvereon and portaline mines do not provide the opportunity to pan for gold. Gems found in mines may not arrive daily as it depends on the type of mine. If found, they will be available in the inventory of the clone - owner of the mine.

After 120 days of work, the mine is considered fully developed and disappears.

The Amber mine also gives you a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting amber with a drop of dragon’s blood.
