Mining

Mining is an important Mechanic in 异度神剑. Crystals can be mined from 以太 Crystal Deposits, as shown in the picture to the right.

The first crystal deposit is in Tephra Cave, near the Spring of Grief. The 以太 Mine has the most places to mine crystals. Some deposits have more than one spot where crystals can be collected. 其它 have one mining deposit but will allow crystals to be collected a few times. Deposits which have been exhausted will replenish over time.

Rare Crystals

There is a chance when mining to receive a rare crystal, where attributes of that single mined crystal have increased quality percentages and/or increased number of attributes. Upon receiving a rare crystal the sound heard when mining will change to indicate this uncommon occurrence. Melia's Mining Master skill gives a 5% increased chance to receive a these rare crystals when mining.

以太 Deposit Qualities

Each 以太 deposit mining node only has crystals harvestable from one of the six element types: Earth, 雷电, Fire, Ice, Water or Wind. Further, each 以太 deposit mining node only has crystals with certain attributes and ranks.

For example, Satorl Marsh's 以太 Deposit 4 (located in a waterfall south-east of Zaldania Waterfall and north of Poison Swamp) will always only give Rank II water crystals with the attributes of HP Up, Recovery Up, Arts Heal or Terrain Defence.

Bionis' 内部以太 Deposit 6, by the 终端 Vein, will always only give Rank V earth crystals with Muscle Up or Attack Stability properties. No 其它 types of crystals with 其它 attributes may ever be received from these specific 以太 Deposits.

Likewise, every 以太 deposit has its own unique set of crystal attributes that can be harvested.

Colony 6 Nature Levels

When first encountered, all eight 以太 deposit mining nodes in the 以太 Mine and all two deposits in the Colony 6 area, will only give crystals of Rank II quality. Reconstructing Colony 6's Nature level to 3, will cause all these 以太 deposits in the 以太 Mine and Colony 6 area to now give Rank III 以太 crystals. Likewise, increasing Nature level to 4 or 5 will cause these 以太 nodes to give crystals of Rank IV or Rank V quality.
