There are two locations where you can mine with your hammer or hoe. They are Moonlight Mine and Lake Mine. You can't reach the Lake Mine, until the winter season. The Sunny Lake will be frozen so you can walk over to the Lake Mine. APPLIES TO MOONLIGHT MINE AND LAKE MINE When you see the cracks in the ground, shaped like X, you can stand on the crack. There are two ways you can head, if the crack breaks. When "!" appears above your head, and you'll fall down. You will skip some floors, about 1 to 9 floors. However, if you have "?" above your head... Somehow, you will fall UP. Don't ask me, I don't know how is it even possible. But you will skip some floors, can be between 1 and 9 floors. It's very good way to conserve your stamina since it doesn't take any stamina to fall through the crack. If you're on high floors, like 01-50 floors... Chances of you falling down is pretty good. But however, when you're nearing the bottom floor, chances of you falling up will be increasing. So soon as you reach 90th floor, it will be almost impossible to reach 100th level by using the cracks only. Another option is use your hoe to till the soil, and look for the opening in the ground. Once you find it, you will go down one floor. But it'll take your stamina, so I suggest you to be careful, and use the special trick. - Walk slowly, and look for the flicker of black strip flashing on the ground, usually that black flicker is near the stairs. If you see it, use your hoe at that black flicker, and you'll find the opening. I find it, if you walk up/down pattern, finding the flicker will be easy. Once you get used to locating the black flicker, it'll be a breeze for you. Sometimes when you break the crystals or cavern rocks, the gas will spill and affect you. It can be bad thing or good thing. They're called the mine gasses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | NAME | EFFECTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dark Smoke | The dark gray smokes will scatter, with red swirls in middle. It'll darken the floor so you can barely see anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Healing Smoke | The pink smokes will scatter, with shiny sparkles in middle. It'll recover some stamina points (only if you are very near) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dizzy Smoke | The purple smokes will scatter. Your directions will be rotated, but you can still get by. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Freeze Smoke | The orange smokes will scatter, with yellow bolts in middle. You will be unable to move for a while. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Agile Smoke | The yellow smokes will scatter, with yellow bolts stuck on you. You will be moving more faster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nullify Smoke | The white smokes will scatter, nullifying the effects of other smokes, such as dizzy/dark/agile effects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ MOONLIGHT MINE ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moonlight Mine is northwest of the map. Go to Jamie's Ranch, and head west, while hugging Jamie's Ranch's pink fence. You will see the cave, so enter it. Congratulations, you're in the Moonlight Mine. When you first enter the mine, there will be an empty floor. If you didn't bring along your hammer with you, the entrance hole will not appear on the floor. So be sure to carry the hammer and hoe with you! If you want to find the pontata roots only - do not bring your hammer. Just use the hoe to dig up on the first floor. You will find a lot of the pontata roots. However, if you carry a hammer, chances of finding the pontata roots will be deceased for some reason. If you're looking for the good clay, reach the second floor. And use your hoe on the floor a lot, and you'll find some good clays. If you break the crystals or cavern rocks, you will find: Junk Ore....1g Copper Ore..50g Silver Ore..100g Gold Ore....150g Rare Ore....200g Moonstone...50g Amethyst....220g Aquamarine..230g Diamond.....500g When you go deeper in the mine, chances of you finding better ores will be high, such as gold ores, and rare ores. Level 02: A lot good clays are here. Level 22: Some amethysts appears here. Level 41: Crystals only Level 44: Several rare Ores appears here. Crystals only. Level 49: Crystals only. Level 55: Some amethysts appears here. Level 66: Some aquamarines appears here. Level 77: Some diamonds appars here. Linkshot says: And the mainstream is Amethyst (34%), Gold Ore (34%), Rare Ore (32%). That's all you'll find on those three levels. (41/44/49) (maybe there's some Moonstone in there) There are 100 levels in the Moonlight Mine. When you reach 100th level, you can till the ground, and you'll find some money. And also, if Tim has moved in the town, he'll be there to award you a power berry on your first time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ LAKE MINE ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can't get to the Lake Mine until winter. During the Winter, Sunny Lake will be frozen so you can walk over it. Just head for the centre of Sunny Lake There will be a cave, so enter it. Congratulations, you're in Lake Mine. The Lake Mine is gem rich, so you will find a lot of gems in here. It is very good money source during the Winter. Unlike the Moonlight Mine, there are some floors that contains only type of the gem, nothing else. ---SPECIAL FLOORS--- 5th Floor = Moonstones appears here only. 10th Floor = No cracks/cavern rocks/crystals.
