Mining is probably the easiest and fastest way to acquire wealth in RF Online.
Here's a simple 5-step method to get started with mining:
1 - Purchase a digging tool and a battery pack from the ORE
merchant in your race's HQ.
2 - Go to the Crag Mines via the teleporter in your race's HQ.
3 - Equip the digging tool in your weapon slot and enter combat mode.
4 - Select the type of ore you want to mine for in the small window
that pops up and press "Move Mode".
5 - Go take a nap or watch TV.
Congratulations, you're on your way to becoming a millionaire. It is probably a
good idea to bring multiple battery packs along with you if you're planning on
an extended mining session. When your character uses up a battery pack,
they will automatically switch to another pack if there is one available.
Mining in just any old spot in the mines will net roughly 1 piece of ore every minute.
Mining in the central crystal mines when your race wins a Chip War nets about
8 pieces of ore every minute, so the advantage to holding the central mines is huge.
When you're all finished with mining, you can either sell the unprocessed ore to
NPC vendors for some quick cash, or you can pay the ORE vendor a steep fee to
process it for you. If you choose to process the ore,
you will obtain several crafting materials and a small chance to
obtain jewelry and talics, which have a variety of uses. As a general rule,
stronger ore has a higher chance of returning talics, but also costs more to process.
The type of crafting materials that are obtained from the refining process depends
upon the type of ore that was processed:
| Ore Color |
Crafting Materials Returned |
| Blue Ore |
Staff Weaponry |
| Red Ore |
Ranged Weaponry (Firearms) |
| Green Ore |
Ranged Weaponry (Bows) |
| Black Ore |
Melee Weaponry |
| Yellow Ore |
Shields |

Mining in RFOnline can be quite profitable as you can mine overnight for special types of ore
that can either be sold of refined into precious talics or building materials.

The mining area is in the "Crag Mine Fields" which is also where Chip Wars are waged which is a fight to control the master mine.
The main mine is a area that is normally guarded by a huge monster called the holystone keeper which defends whichever side won the chip war.

The main mine area is alot more profitable then other mining areas as you can make 300-500k in the space of a few hours.
