Overview

Mining is modified by the following relics:

Power Miner grants the echo pickaxe, which is equivalent to the crystal pickaxe. This relic also grants a 50% chance to succeed an otherwise failed roll to mine a rock, prevents rocks from depleting until you have mined at least 4 ore, and automatically sends mined items to the bank.

Crashed stars

Mining crashed stars offers low experience rates but requires very little attention. As part of the Shooting Stars Distraction and Diversion, a shooting star will fall at a random spot across all areas. This method becomes available at level 10 Mining, however higher tier stars require higher levels. The mined stardust can be exchanged for a celestial ring Asgarnia, which gives an invisible +4 boost to Mining.

Note that 14,000 Stardust are required to complete tasks related to the Raging Echoes League to complete the full golden prospector set and for a Celestial Ring. This number can be minimised to 12,400 Stardust if the ring is purchased first and then sold back to recoup some of the stardust.

League stars are commonly called out in the official shooting stars chat. They are typically indicated by "(l)" at the end of the message.
