Mining

Mining is a constitution based skill that affects the character's ability to dig through walls and to find materials at mining sites. After digging through walls, you will occasionally find ores, gold, and (very rarely) small medals.

To dig through a wall, stand next to the wall and press D, or z and then 3, and then select the direction you wish to dig. To dig in your own square, press Space, Enter or 5.

You will find more gold and better ores in better places. Mining Your Home rewards depending on its rank, while mining dungeons rewards depending on the danger level of the current floor. Towns have a DL of 1--as can be verified by casting Return in wizard mode--so their rewards are minimal. Forts of Chaos have a DL of roughly 25 (the game claims it to be 666, but that isn't true) and reward quite well with very little danger associated, as there are no enemies there as long as you don't walk too far up.

An easy way to train mining and constitution is to dig through the walls in any town. This way, you can eat and sleep in the inn, when the need arise.

Another easy way to train (and unlimited) is to mine in your house. You can just replace the walls using house board.

As your mining skill increases, the turns (and thus, stamina) needed to knock down a wall decreases.

Trained skill

You may learn Mining from the trainers in Vernis and Derphy.

Ores are only dropped in random cave dungeons, and gold is only dropped in towns.

Mining in forest dungeons yield acorns, golden acorns, and four-leaf clovers.

Mining in fort or tower dungeons yield stone materials (used by the pot for fusion) and safes.

Mining on pirate or merchant ships yield garbage, wood piece, and wood materials.

Mining in cemetery dungeons yield large bouquet, rag doll, coffin, and book of resurrection.

Pets who have the skill and have an impression(>100) can collect materials by defeating enemies. You can then interact with them by Talk->Receive Materials to get the materials they have collected. There is a hidden point scale where they upgrade to better materials as they constantly kill so long as you don't ask for their materials. Talk to them every couple of weeks and they give you a couple stacks of high grade materials.

Minotaur and Worm races are trained in the skill.
