Resource mines #

In the clone world, mines are an important source of rare and valuable resources. With their help, players can extract minerals, gems, and other materials that have many different uses. Mines are discovered by state geologists and put up for auction, where any clone with the appropriate status and education can purchase the right to mine.

There are many types of mines, each of which provides access to a specific resource - from sand and clay to sulfur, salt, saltpeter and precious stones. Mines differ not only in the type of resource, but also in strategic value: they are limited in time, require stamina and cannot be resold. However, the mined materials can be freely used or sold on the Commodity Exchange, which makes mines one of the key tools for the player’s resource and financial independence.

Notes:

• The Amber Mine also gives a chance to find Dragon Amber. The probability of finding such a stone is 1 in 10,000.
• Portalin mines are only available on the Metropolis game server.
• Elvereyon mines are only available on the Enclave game server.

Obsolete types of mines #

• 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).

Some types of mines can pan for a small amount of gold daily, which is automatically credited to the game account at a set time. Precious stones are not found every day - their receipt depends on the type of mine. If a stone is found, it goes into the inventory of the clone who owns the mine.

Mine Development Regulations #

1. Who has the right to develop the mines?

   • Clones with the status of “craftsman” and higher have the right.
   • A university degree in geology is required.

2. Purchase and ownership of mines

   • A clone with the appropriate education can buy an unlimited number of mines.
   • The right to develop a mine for a period of 120 days is acquired at a mine auction.
   • Once purchased, the mine cannot be sold to other players, but the resources mined there can be freely sold on the Commodity Exchange.

3. Receipt of mines for auction

   • The mines are put up for auction as they are discovered by state geologists.
   • Each new mine requires preliminary preparation and is located in hard-to-reach places.
   • Because of this, the regularity of the appearance of mines at auction is not guaranteed.
   • It is recommended to closely monitor the auction so as not to miss rare lots.

4. Mine operation

   • The mine’s operating life is 120 days.
   • Each day requires 6 units of stamina from the owner clone.
   • If there is not enough stamina, mining does not occur, but the duration of the mine is reduced by 1 day.
   • It is important to maintain a sufficient level of stamina through dining and automation settings.
   • 👉 For more information, see the section: endurance

5. Completion of the mine operation

   • At the end of 120 days the mine is considered fully developed and disappears.
