Recommended ore harvesters

• 
  Astegonmining Lv 7

  S-tier endgame miner; its Dragon damage breaks ore nodes faster than any other Pal.

• 
  Blazamutmining Lv 7

  Alpha-only catch from Mt. Obsidian — pair with Astegon at an endgame base.

• 
  Anubismining Lv 6

  A-tier all-rounder. Mining plus Handiwork. Smelts Ingots while mining new ore on the same base.

• 
  Digtoisemining Lv 4

  The mid-game pick — catchable at Lv 17-25 in Twilight Dunes, which holds 246 ore nodes of its own.

• 
  Reptyromining Lv 5

  Mining plus Kindling. Auto-smelts mined ore into Ingot when a Furnace is in range.

Pals that drop ore

• 
  Digtoise2-3 Ore per kill

  Drops 2-3 Ore at 100% rate on kill or capture. Easy mid-game farm — spawns at Lv 17-25 in Twilight Dunes, third for ore at 246 nodes.

• 
  Cryolinx Terra2-3 Ore per kill

  Drops 2-3 Ore at 100% rate. Endgame Ground-type Pal — harder catch but worth it for stacked work suitability.

• 
  Pierdon4-5 Ore per kill

  The best of them by some way — 4-5 per kill at 100%, roughly double every other dropper, and the same Pierdon also drops 4-5 Sulfur.

• 
  Knocklem2-3 Ore per kill

  Mining Lv 7 itself, so a Knocklem you catch for the drop is also one of the five best miners you can staff a base with.

• 
  Knocklem Ignis2-3 Ore per kill

  The Fire variant, identical 2-3 at 100% and identical Mining Lv 7.

• 
  Gorirat Terra2-3 Ore per kill

  Guaranteed 2-3 on every kill — a Ground variant you meet well before the endgame droppers.

• 
  Surfent Terra2-3 Ore per kill

  Guaranteed 2-3, and rideable across water, so it pays for the catch twice.

Strategy tips

• Ore nodes are gated on pickaxe tier, not character level — Stone Pickaxe (Tech Lv 1) is the minimum.
• Set up a base in Verdant Brook (295 nodes) or Astral Mountains (281) — the two densest ore regions — and assign 2-3 mining Pals; ore nodes respawn while you craft.
• Pair a mining Pal (Digtoise, Astegon) with a Kindling Pal (Reptyro, Foxparks) at the same Furnace to auto-smelt Ore into Ingot.
• Broken nodes come back about 30 minutes of real time later — the figure the marker text on this page's own map gives. Multiplayer respawn varies by host settings.
