From your first pickaxe to the adamantium seams. Seven steps, in order.
1. Pickaxe
2. 500 dwarves
3. Iron Mine ticket
4. Kalder's errand
5. The lost miner
6. Hand in the document
7. Deep Mine ticket
1 Get your pickaxe
Dougal, the master miner — near Kazordoon
Say hi, then mining.
He offers to take you on. Say apprentice, then yes.
He hands you a Copper Pickaxe.
It is free and needs nothing done first. Anyone can walk up to Dougal
at level 1 and walk away with a pick. Everything else on this page comes after it.
Getting there — the Forge Teleport
Dougal stands in the forge. Two teleports lead to it:
Ask him about work at any time to hear your running
total. When you reach 500, ask once more — that conversation is what grants the access,
the kill alone does not.
The custom dwarf spawns, on Cormaya.
3 Buy your first ticket
The Mine Foreman — at the mouth of the Iron Mine
Say hi, then ticket, then yes. It costs 1,000 gold.
Walk south past him and cross the pressure plates. That is where your hour starts.
Mine copper and iron until the clock runs out.
The clock never pauses. Step back out through the plates for even
a moment and the session ends right there — going back in costs another ticket. Buy it,
go in, and stay in until you are done.

4 Take Kalder's errand
Kalder, the surveyor — he decides who goes into the deep seams
Say hi, then mission.
He tells you about a miner of his who went down to chart the lower workings and never
came back. Say yes to go looking.
Kalder will not talk business until the dwarf task is done. If he sends
you back to Dougal, that is why. He does not check your level here.

5 Find the lost miner
Somewhere in the old workings — a body nobody brought home
Search the old workings for the corpse.
Use it (right-click → Use). Inside his jacket is the Secret Document.
The body will only give up the document after Kalder has sent you.
Find it first and all you get is a description — that is not a bug, come back once you have
taken the errand.
The way in — the corpse is inside the cave.The corpse, up close.
6 Hand in the document
Back to Kalder
With the Secret Document in your backpack, say hi, then mission.
He takes the notes and opens the seam. Permanently, for that character.
7 Descend into the Deep Mine
The Deep Mine Foreman — at the mouth of the second mine
Say hi, then ticket, then yes. It costs 5,000 gold.
Cross the plates. Same rules: one hour, no pausing.
Level 80 is required to pass the gate, not to do the errand. You can
finish steps 4 to 6 at any level and simply have the way waiting for you.

Bring your best pickaxe. The tier decides how many strikes each use
makes — a copper pick swings once, an aetherium pick seven times. Same vein, same minute,
seven times the ore. See the Mining guide for the whole system.
