Local Mines only allow players from your Kingdom to participate in digging, while Cross-server Mines allow up to players from 8 nearby Kingdoms to participate in digging. Cross-server Mines hold more high-level fiery crystal ores which grant better rewards. Super Mine also allows up to players from 8 nearby Kingdoms like the Cross-server Mines although the digging is different from the Local and Cross-server Mines.

Using picks within the mines to dig for Fiery Crystal Ores to obtain Fiery Crystals, which can be used to purchase items at the Fiery Crystal Shop. There is a chance to obtain other items including Troop Universal medals and Speedups while digging in Fiery Crystal Mines.

One Pick is consumed each time you go digging. Picks will be restored over time. Picks that are restored over time cannot exceed the limit, but Picks obtained through items can exceed the limit.

*Currently there are no ways to obtain picks other than restoring them over time.

The base digging duration is 4 hours. The duration can be extended by using additional items. The longer the duration is extended, the more additional items will be required. The Time Extension Function can only be used during the first 10 minutes of digging and it can only be used 1 time each time you go digging.

 The occupying army details are hidden, only general information is available. Please note that battle only begins after 10s when attacking an owned Fiery Crystal Mine. Each Fiery Crystal Mine can only be attacked by 1 troop at each time. Unowned Fiery Crystal Mines have no guards.

The longer you occupy a mine, the better rewards you may obtain. And you can stop digging at any time when you feel the need to cancel. For example, you can send 1 soldier to dig the mine and then click "defend" to set your perfect defense formation. In the first 10 minutes after you successfully dig a mine, you can choose to use a time extension for better rewards if you are lucky not to be interrupted.
