Mining & Materials
Mining lets you gather normal ores and rare imbuement materials. These materials can then be exchanged into stronger crafting ingredients.
How to Mine
Useful Notes
- Mining swings are calculated around one swing every 3 seconds.
- Normal mines can give both regular ores and special materials.
- Special mining zones focus on imbuement materials.
- VIP4+ players can skip normal ores while still mining rare materials.
Normal Ores
In regular mining areas, each swing has a chance to produce a normal ore. Some ores are common, while higher-tier ores are much rarer. A rare special ore can also appear from the normal ore roll.
| Ore Type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Normal Ores | Can be mined in normal mining areas. |
| Higher-tier Ores | Rarer ore tiers have lower chances than basic ores. |
| VIP Ore Skip | VIP4+ players may skip normal ores to save inventory space while still allowing special materials. |

Average time assumes one mining swing every 3 seconds. Actual results can be faster or slower because mining is chance-based.
Other Imbuement Materials
Not every imbuement material comes from mining. Some materials are earned through CityWar winner maps, raids, or the Astral Knight system.
| Material | How to Acquire It | Important Rules |
|---|---|---|
| CommonCarrot, RareCarrot and MythicCarrot | Hunt Luxio and Laxio inside a CityWar winner's Special Hunting Area. Each kill has a 0.1% chance to drop a carrot. When a carrot drops, it has an 80% chance to be Common, 15% to be Rare and 5% to be Mythic. | Only members of the guild currently holding the corresponding CityWar pole can enter its hunting area, and the areas cannot be entered while CityWar is active. You may carry only one carrot at a time. Trade it to the CarrotFarmer before hunting another. |
| DimensionalBox / DimensionalWing | Complete the Astral Knight daily quests to collect all seven different AstralKnight armor pieces. Trade the full set to the AstralSummoner for an AstralStatue, then use the statue to enter the Astral Summoning Area on Sunday. Defeat the Astral Summoning Boss within five minutes to receive one DimensionalBox. Open the box to obtain the rare DimensionalWing material used in high-rank imbuement recipes. | The summoning area permits one player at a time. If your inventory is full when the boss dies, the DimensionalBox is reserved and can later be claimed from the AstralSummoner. |
| Rank 5 Imbuement Material | Defeat GoldTusk in the Tusk Raid. One Rank 5 Imbuement Material is dropped when GoldTusk is defeated. | BronzeTusk and SilverTusk do not drop this material. |
| IcetouchedOrb | Defeat the IcetouchedBeast raid boss. The boss drops three IcetouchedOrbs on the ground when defeated. | The orbs are ground drops, so they must be picked up after the raid boss dies. |
Carrot Trading

Planning Tip
Check the material requirement shown by your chosen imbuement before consuming or trading these items. Several high-rank imbuements depend on materials obtained outside the mining and exchanger progression.
