How To Mine In Dark And Darker

Dark and Darker, Mining Explained

Mining in Dark and Darker requires a pick axe, a utility item that can also function as a weapon. You use the pick axe by striking an ore deposit, which will add that ore to your inventory. Once you’ve mined the ore, you can take it to the Armorer, Weaponsmith, or Alchemist to transform it into a crafted item. Ruby ore is the only ore deposit in the game at this time. More will likely be added as the game continues developing, but that remains to be seen. Ore deposits can be found across Dark and Darker’s various maps; you just need to keep your eyes out for them.

How to get a Pick Axe in Dark and Darker

The main way to get a pick axe is to purchase it from the Blacksmith. Alternatively, you can kill other players and hope one of them has a pick axe. Though looting other players doesn’t guarantee a pick axe, it offers a free alternative to buying it from the Blacksmith.
