'''Gems''' are rare minerals what can be found by mining nodes with the pickaxe.
'''Mining''' is an activity which involves using the [[pickaxe]] on the stones, obstacles, and rock spots throughout the valley to collect resources and valuable gems.
 
Resources and gems are used to make refined materials, furniture, and other items through [[crafting]]. They can also be sold for [[Star Coins]] or gifted to [[Characters|villagers]] to raise [[Friendship]].
 
Mining gems counts towards the rotating [[Dreamlight#Dreamlight Duties|Dreamlight Duty]] "Mine 2 Minerals", and Mining comprises its own tab of [[Dreamlight#Mining|Dreamlight Achievements]]. There are 6 [[Memories]] consisting of 10 Memory Pieces each that can only be found by mining.
 
==How to Mine==
Each biome has mining nodes which can be mined by interacting with them while the [[pickaxe]] is equipped. A mining node will usually drop resources with each swing of the pickaxe, up to five times, and the final swing of the pickaxe may drop a gem. Each swing of the pickaxe consumes 40 [[energy]]. There's a rare chance when mining that [[Onyx]] will drop, which is a rare resource used to craft [[Miracle Pickaxe Polish|pickaxe polish]]. Pickaxe polish guarantees receiving a gem from each swing.
 
===Villager Companions===
When reaching level 2 [[Friendship]] with a [[Characters|villager]], they can be assigned a [[Professions|role]]. Villagers who have been assigned the '''Mining Role''' will gain extra [[Friendship]] for every node mined. They also have a chance to drop the last item mined before the node is exhausted while they're following. Extra materials they produce will be dropped on the ground, and can be picked up by running over them.
 
Each level of friendship increases the rate which extra materials will drop. It's not only effective for leveling up [[Friendship]] with these characters, but extremely helpful for offering bonus materials when mining. Be sure to always bring a Companion along when mining!

Mining is an activity which involves using the pickaxe on the stones, obstacles, and rock spots throughout the valley to collect resources and valuable gems.

Resources and gems are used to make refined materials, furniture, and other items through crafting. They can also be sold for Star Coins or gifted to villagers to raise Friendship.

Mining gems counts towards the rotating Dreamlight Duty "Mine 2 Minerals", and Mining comprises its own tab of Dreamlight Achievements. There are 6 Memories consisting of 10 Memory Pieces each that can only be found by mining.

How to Mine

Each biome has mining nodes which can be mined by interacting with them while the pickaxe is equipped. A mining node will usually drop resources with each swing of the pickaxe, up to five times, and the final swing of the pickaxe may drop a gem. Each swing of the pickaxe consumes 40 energy. There's a rare chance when mining that Onyx will drop, which is a rare resource used to craft pickaxe polish. Pickaxe polish guarantees receiving a gem from each swing.

Villager Companions

When reaching level 2 Friendship with a villager, they can be assigned a role. Villagers who have been assigned the Mining Role will gain extra Friendship for every node mined. They also have a chance to drop the last item mined before the node is exhausted while they're following. Extra materials they produce will be dropped on the ground, and can be picked up by running over them.

Each level of friendship increases the rate which extra materials will drop. It's not only effective for leveling up Friendship with these characters, but extremely helpful for offering bonus materials when mining. Be sure to always bring a Companion along when mining!
