Mining Points

From VanRO Ragnarok Online

How It Works

  • At specific intervals every day, Mining Point NPCs will appear in a random dungeons. It can be any dungeon whatsoever. It will not appear in a town, field, instance, Guild Town, or anywhere that is not a dungeon (Approx 76 choices). The interval between the NPC appearing is:
    • Eir: Once an hour
    • Loki: Once every 10 minutes
    • Tyr: Once every 3 hours
  • The Mining Point NPC looks exactly like a Mineral monsterFile:Mineral.gif. It does not move, it does not attack.
  • Regardless of how many are currently active, they will keep appearing every 10 minutes. This can lead to having multiple NPCs located in the same dungeon.
  • When you have found one of the NPCs, make sure you have a File:Pick Axe.gifMining Pickaxe or File:Pick Axe.gifSturdy Mining Pickaxe in your inventory. If you do not have one of these, you will not be able to mine for tokens.
    • The File:Pick Axe.gifMining Pickaxe is a weapon that can be purchased from Tool Dealer NPCs for some zeny, or from the Premium Point Redemption NPC. The prices are as follows:
      • Eir - 2 Premium Points or 100,000 Zeny
      • Loki - 2 Premium Points or 1,000,000 Zeny
      • Tyr - 2 Premium Points or 500,000 Zeny
    • The File:Pick Axe.gifSturdy Mining Pickaxe can be purchased from the Premium Point Redemption NPC on all servers for 500 Premium Points.
    • To mine one of the NPCs, simply click on the NPC. If you succeed or fail, the following messages, depending on how many you earned, will be displayed in green on your chat window (guild chat):
      • You have successfully excavated this mining point and gained 1 token.
      • You have successfully excavated this mining point and gained 2 tokens.
      • Your pickaxe has broken! (Only for the File:Pick Axe.gifMining Pickaxe)
    • When using a File:Pick Axe.gifMining Pickaxe there is a 20% chance that your pickaxe will break. When it does, it is lost forever and you must purchase a new one. If you succeed in mining, you will receive either 1, or 2 Mining Tokens.
    • A File:Pick Axe.gifSturdy Mining Pickaxe, will never break. Thereby, guaranteeing a mining attempt will always yield mining points when using File:Pick Axe.gifSturdy Mining Pickaxe.
    • Mining Tokens can be redeemed for items described below.
