Rocks can be found in the deepest part of the Desert Mining Camp, where the player is imprisoned if caught by the guards. Mining the rocks will give an otherwise useless rock item. To get out of the punishment area, the player must mine 15 of these rocks before the guards will let them leave.

Clue goedes and the rock golem pet cannot be obtained from these rocks, and the infernal pickaxe effect does not activate when mining the rocks.

Pre roll drops

A gem table rolls before the main drop table.^[1] There's a chance to receive nothing here so that players can receive no items from a rock even if they are guaranteed to receive an ore in the main drop table.^[2] The table gets more likely to be rolled if the player has a glory amulet equipped: the probability grows from 1/256 to 1/86.^[3]
