Mining is extremely easy to start at. First you need to go to (9,-23) in Astrub and talk to Chipo Atufe [Inside Cave] or you can talk to Casper Van Brushing in Amakna (-1, 5). From either one of those conversations, you must either buy a miners axe or barter for it. And guess what? You are now a Miner! That’s it! No complicated or tedious hoops or quests to conquer. Just spend 150 Kamas and you are now an official cave dweller.
Next you need to find a cave, or series of caves. You will start with simple plentiful metals. As you go on, you will not only gain experience with each level, but you will become more efficient at mining. Your time to harvest metals will decrease, and your types of harvest-able metals will increase.
But don’t think it’s all rosy and perfect, there are obstacles. You will have to research your mines on the Dofus wiki- because you might get yourself into a mine with aggressive monsters. That is not a fun process, and take that from someone who kept trying over and over to get around the evil beasts, with little to no success. So if you have strong aggressive attacks with your character, then my all means, give those mines a shot. But if you are like me, and are not an aggressive or powerful character, stick to the mines without the monsters or dark miners. They are a real drag!
You will also encounter other miners, competition can be fierce, but if you plan right, you can really be a mining machine. Plan your routes; look for mines near each other, so you can literally do rounds. If you run through a mine, and see it’s been picked over, run to the next mine, and so on. You might have to do this a few times, but if you keep a tight loop, you will always be getting something in your inventory. Speaking of inventory, keep a close eye on it. There is nothing worse than getting a good chunk of rock, only to have to drop it because you didn’t notice you were at maximum capacity!
My recommendation is to invest in potions, a recall potion, and a portion which will take you close to your bank of choice. You will need it! Metals are heavy, and you will need to drop them into your bank account to amass any real substantial quantity. Then once your deposits are made, hit that recall potion to get back to your mining stomping grounds. It’s a great way to spend time in-between dungeon runs and doing souls in the arena.
