If you're new to Ragnarok X, we suggest reading our Beginner’s Guide for a full overview of the game.

Getting Started with Mining

Before you can collect rare ores, you need to unlock the mining profession and equip the right tools. Mining is one of the Life Skills, along with Fishing, Smelting, and Gardening. It has its own experience curve, stamina system, and gear requirements.

How to Unlock the Mining Profession

To start mining, go to Prontera and complete the “Mining for a Living” quest. This will teach you the basics, give you your first pickaxe, and unlock the mining interface. Once you've completed the quest, you can check your mining level, tool durability, and nearby ore veins in the Life panel.

Pickaxes and Their Importance

Pickaxes are your main mining tools. As you advance, you'll be able to use stronger pickaxes that mine faster and let you gather higher-tier ores.

Basic Pickaxe: Ideal for beginner ore veins. It has limited durability and mines slowly.Advanced Pickaxe: A better tool that offers more durability and faster mining speed. Great for mid-level veins.Alloy Pickaxe: The top-tier pickaxe, necessary for mining Concentrated Ore, which gives more experience and rare materials.

You can buy pickaxes from the Sundries Shop or the Crystal Merchant in cities like Alberta. Always watch your tool's durability—once it breaks, you'll need to repair or replace it before you can mine again.

Tips for Efficient Mining

Follow these tips to maximize your gains and make the best use of your stamina:

Carry Extra Pickaxes: Tools break often at low levels. Having spares prevents interruptions.Use Auto-Pathing: Auto-navigation helps you get to mining spots quickly, especially if you're managing multiple professions.Learn Ore Respawn Times: Some ores appear on a set schedule.
