[edit]

The Mine is a building that can be purchased from Willy Builder. It becomes available to buy at Level 26 and costs 16,500 chocolate coins.


Using the Mine

To begin using the mine, the player must hire one or more Diggerlings (available at level 26 for 2,420 chocolate coins) to dig in the mine. These are available to buy at Arfur's Inn. Diggerlings will then attempt to find items in the mine. For a full list, see below.


To Improve Diggerlings Findings

  • Build the mine close to town or near a Helper House. Diggerlings work less hours when they have to travel further across the garden to get to the mine.
  • Make the Diggerling happy by giving him chocolate coins.
  • Place a Gas Mask accessory on a Candary and direct it to the mine.

Other information

  • A Lantern O' Loot, bought from Ivor Bargain, increases the value of chocolate coins found in the mine by nearly five times.
  • Gold flakes and Gold nuggets can be very tiny, as small as a spark from a firebrand, and can easily be hidden in long grass. Look very carefully around the mine and if there's a yellow speck that doesn't disappear, try selecting it. When the flakes/nuggets are trampled, they revert to their normal size which is much bigger.
  • Several of the items found in the mine are hard to see or disappear in deep water.
  • The Mine can be sold, but can not be placed in a crate for pickup by the Post Office.
