Mining is a Skill in Palia which allows The Player to gather minerals to refine and use in crafting or sell for a profit.

The Mining Guild representative in Kilima Valley is Hodari.

Scattered throughout the land of Palia are mining nodes where you may gather different materials that you can use to craft various items. From clay, stone, copper and iron, you can find these nodes on hillsides and rocky formations. Hodari is your point of contact for the Mining Guild, and you can usually find him in Bahari Bay.

Introduction

The player receives their first pick: Makeshift Pick from Hodari when they visit the Housing Plot for the first time.

While increasing the level of skill in Mining, the Player will be able to purchase equipment recipes from Hodari to make better picks and recipes for smelting more valuable bars.

Mechanics

Mining requires use of a pick.

Hit rocks and other mining nodes with a pick until they crumble.

After a node has been destroyed, the Player will see a ghosted version of the node, indicating that it is available for other players to acquire for a limited time. Mining nodes that have been mined by other players will show an added glow effect that will pulse more rapidly as the node gets closer to despawning.

Multiplayer

Multiple players can work together to mine nodes throughout Palia.

All players who hit the target rock will be awarded with loot after it has been destroyed.

Bonus: Players who are near their party members will receive loot for actions that their party members do. There is also a chance at earning double the loot!

Starstones are often sold for profit, but can also be gifted to Villagers, and Star Quality Starstones can be placed on the Housing Plot.

Tips and Tricks

Mining with a friend can increase the speed, and therefore yield, of acquired materials.

Silver, Gold, and Platinum are very valuable to all Players. Shout out their location on the map, or mark it with a flare.

Scintillating Centipedes have a chance to spawn from mining nodes in Bahari Bay. When captured using the Bug Catching Skill, they drop Silk Thread which is rare, expensive, and valuable to all Players.

Repair your Pick regularly at the Blacksmith or the Player's Repair Station to keep it sharp, strong, and efficient.

Update History

Build 0.202:

• Jadium added with the Royal Highlands.

Build 0.180:

• Party members will now share loot for most gathering activities.
  
  • Players who are near their party members will now receive loot for actions their party members did - so if your friend can one-shot a Sernuk, you’ll share in on the loot. In addition, the loot dropped will be the same across each player. Yes, that includes Plushies!

Build 0.177:

• Mining nodes will now behave more like forageable items—once a node is cleared, it’ll remain available to other users and disappear after a set amount of time.
  
  • Here’s how it works:
    
    • All players who participate in mining a node will get full loot participation. This behavior is the same as before.
      
    • After it is looted, players who participated will see a ghosted version of the rock, indicating that it is available for others to acquire. Mining nodes that have been mined by other players will show an added glow effect, indicating that it was already mined by other players and will eventually despawn.
      
    • Mining nodes that are close to despawning will pulse more rapidly to indicate that the node is close to despawning
      
    • This change affects all mining nodes outside of the housing plot

Build 0.172:

• Mining nodes now have a chance to drop Starstones — and villagers love them! ✨
  
  • 10 Starstones have been added: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Emerald, Garnet, Jasper, Onyx, Quartz, Ruby, and Sapphire.

Build 0.166:

• Mining animations can be canceled instead of needing to wait for the animation to complete.
