Notes & Strategy
Silver & Gold nodes — how you actually get them
You don't mine Silver and Gold directly from a rock the way you mine Copper or Iron. Instead, while you're mining any ore, there's a small chance each second to stumble onto a precious-metal node. Find one and it's a single-use pocket: you mine it once, get the ore, and it's gone.
- Chance to find a node: about 0.25% per second of mining. Because the roll happens every second, slower ores give you more rolls per swing — a 5-second ore is roughly a 1.25% chance each time you finish mining it.
- Silver or Gold? When you do find a node, the game flips a weighted coin:
- 🥈 Silver — 60%
- 🥇 Gold — 40% (the rarer, more valuable result)
- Level needed to keep them: Silver unlocks at Mining Lv 30, Gold at Lv 40. Each node yields exactly one ore.
Because these veins are finite (one ore each), Silver and Gold give far more XP than a normal ore of their tier — that's the reward for the rarity.
💡 Tip: The Prospector's Fortune potion (brewed at Lv 45) adds a flat +10% node-find chance to every mining action — that's a huge jump from the ~1–1.5% you'd see unbuffed. Keep one running if you're farming Silver/Gold.
🐉 Dragonite nodes work differently again: they don't come from mining at all — each Dragon kill has a 10% chance to drop one (Mining Lv 85 to mine it).
