Editing Mining

[[Category:Mining]]{{TOC right}}
'''Mining''' is a [[player]] based activity, which offers an alternative method of obtaining [[materials]] that are mainly used in [[Enchanting]].
*You will need to craft a [[Pickaxes|pickaxe]] and find a [[Rock Mine]] to begin mining.
*Some [[Loot]] can only be obtained through '''Mining'''

===Mining Skill===
:''Mining'' is a player skill, which means it is unaffected by which pet you have active
:*To see current levels of player skills, view the '''"Player Profile"''' within the [[Krafties Home|Home App]]
:**To gain mining [[experience]], you simply do some mining.

==The Mining Basics==
===How do I begin Mining?===
#First you [[Crafting|craft]] a [[Stone Pickaxe]] when you have enough materials. 
#You need to ''retrieve'' your pickaxe in order to make it usable, by touching the pickaxe you just crafted. ''A retrieved pickaxe should be named "Krafties Pickaxe [type]"''
#Stand in front of a [[Mining Rock]] with the [[Pickaxe]] worn, and swing it by ''clicking'' anywhere ''(works much like the [[Standard Net]] that way)''
#Continue swinging until you reach the core of the mine, by either holding down the mouse button or waiting for critical hits.

:You begin at ''level 1'' and are only be able to use ''stone'' pickaxes, because there are level restrictions on the more durable ones.
:*To see your current level and remaining pickaxe life, touch your pickaxe.

===Where are the Mines?===
:There are public [[Mining Rock]]s located on [[Krafties Island]] available for anyone to use. You can also ''buy'' a one in the [[Krafties Store]] to take home with you.
:*A [[Mining Rock]] never depletes, you only need to give it a minute to restore itself after each use.

===How do I level up?===
:Mining is a [[player]] based skill, which means you need to do the work instead of your pet. As with any other skill, you are '''level 1''' when you start.
:*Best mining experience is earned when you strike critical hits (hitting the rock when the outline is yellow).
:*You can see your current level in the ''[[Krafties Home|Home App]]'' under "Player Profile"

==How to Mine==
You will  need to wear the "Tool Attachment" from your [[Necessity Pack]], and activate the pickaxe from your [[Inventory|Inventory App]]

:*There are a few factors that will determine how successful you are in mining: your '''Mining Level''' and the '''type of tools''' you use.  
:**As you improve in mining and level up you gain the abilities to wear faster and stronger pickaxes.  
:*Your Mining level affects how much damage you do to a rock mine.
:*The type of pickaxe determines how fast you can swing and how long it will last before breaking.
:**There are level restrictions on the better pickaxes
:*You gain experience as you mine the rock and if you land a ''critical hit'' you will gain more exp

===Mining Techniques===
:;Continuous mining ''(Hold mouse-button)''
:*While wearing any ''Krafties pickaxe'' next to a Krafties ''[[Mining Rock]]'', click and hold your left mouse button anywhere on the screen and you will begin to mine.  This is the simple, '''low experience''' way to mine.
:;Critical Strike ''(Strike it when it glows)''
:Manually clicking each swing will give you much more reward in experience for those who like the challenge. 
:*By clicking once rather than holding, this will trigger a Critical hit timer (which is always 2 seconds longer than your pickaxe swing rate). 
:*When the Critical hit is activated, Yellow particles will flash.  Quickly swinging during a critical hit will offer much more experience per swing and increase resource gathering. 
:*A successful swing will result in a flash of White particles.

===Mining Leader===
:The first person to strike a [[Mining Rock]] will become the '''Mining Leader'''
:*Other people can assist while mining to make things quicker, but only the ''Mining Leader'' will get the [[Loot]] at the end of it.

==The Mining Rock==
:;See [[Mining Rock]] for more information
===Ready (white)===
[[File:Mining rock ready.png|thumb|left|link=|'''Ready''']]
*When a rock is available to mine, it will appear with a WHITE outline.
*Multiple [[player]]s can mine the same rock, but only the '''Mining Leader''' will receive the [[Loot]]
**The first person to strike the rock will become '''Mining Leader''' (the rock will tell you in ''local chat'')
*You can mine it when white, or wait for '''Critical Chance'''
*Your pet can do battles while you are mining

===Critical Chance (yellow)===
The rock's outline will turn '''yellow''' and sparkle to indicate a '''critical chance'''. If you manage to hit the [[Mining Rock]] quick enough when this happens, it will '''sparkle white''' to indicate that you struck a critical hit. Waiting for the ''critical chance'' is a good way to mine, because ''critical hits'' earn you more experience and is better for your pickaxe.

===Overheating (black)===
[[File:Mining Rock Overheating.png|thumb|left|link=|'''Overheating''']]

*Overheating happens at '''random'''.  The mining rock will turn BLACK and smoking.  
*If you hit an overheating rock this will '''damage your pickaxe''' and give you a warning.  Continuing this will result in an broken pickaxe.
*You cannot make any progress while the [[Mining Rock]] is overheating. You'll have to wait for it to pass

===Cooldown (red)===

*After you have reached the core and retrieved your loot, the [[Rock Mine]] will go on ''[[cooldown]]'' and has a RED outline .  
*Cooldown lasts for '''60 seconds''' and the mine will slowly regain its shape.
