How to mine

Gold collection upgrades your Bank and adds Magic Find and Strength to the Golden Dragon pet. Pick Maniac Miner or Mining Speed Boost as your ability, then go into the Mithril Deposits and use a Wishing Compass to find the Mines of Divan.

Maniac Miner

Mine in 4/4 Glossy Mineral. When the ability is ready, swap to the drill-swapping drill, use it, and go back to the main drill. Mine the blocks at your own height and ignore the pillars.

Mining Speed Boost (instamining)

Keep two loadouts: the gear you mine with outside the ability, and an ability set. Mine with the first. When the ability is ready, place a Will-o’-wisp, hold the Blue Cheese drill, swap to the ability loadout, wait for your Mining Speed to update, use the ability and mine. When it ends, swap back and keep mining with the main drill.

Both loadouts use the max gear above unless the table says otherwise.

Setup Outside the ability During the ability
2/4 Glossy 4/4 Glossy, Lustrous Divan’s Drill with Sunny Side 2/4 Glossy + 2/4 Divan’s, Lustrous Divan’s Drill with Blue Cheese
3/4 Glossy, max Fortune 4/4 Glossy, Lustrous Divan’s Drill with Sunny Side 3/4 Glossy + 1/4 Divan’s; Auspicious Divan’s Drill (3 Perfect Amber, 2 Perfect Jade) with Blue Cheese; Royal equipment; Goblin with Quick Claw
3/4 Glossy, budget 4/4 Glossy, Lustrous Divan’s Drill with Sunny Side 3/4 Glossy + 1/4 Divan’s; Ambered Divan’s Drill (3 Perfect Amber, 2 Perfect Jade) with Blue Cheese
4/4 Glossy Heated Divan’s Drill with Sunny Side Heated Divan’s Drill (3 Perfect Amber, 2 Perfect Jade) with Blue Cheese; Goblin with Quick Claw

The 4/4 Glossy setup only works reliably in a Mines of Divan inside the Magma Fields at 89 Heat or more.
