Mining Skill Guide

This guide is for the sole purpose of helping people with leveling up their mining as fast as possible!

First off start making a wood pickaxe and use it all up on stone. (if you find some copper/tin while mining the stone mine that first instead)

You should now have reached level 3, so go ahead and craft a stone pickaxe. Use this to mine additionally stone (and copper/tin if you come across it) until level 5 is reached.

When level 5, if you haven't already, make yourself some more pickaxes, we're going to be mining coal for some time. You're going to be mining about 135 coal until you reach level 15. (given that you just leveld up to 5)

Once this has been done, start mining coal and all the iron you have found while mining coal. A good idea is to just run through a cave and then start from an end and move towards the top, whilst mining all coal and iron you come across. From here on out you're just going to be mining all that you can when you see it. But don't waste your time on strip-mining once you get level 30 (diamond). You ought a know where there are some diamond since you've been mining for at least 30 minutes now.

For later levels, remember always to mine coal, it is one of the most essential resources and you will deplete your amount very quickly with the Smithing skill once you start using the furnace.
