VALERMINE GAME GUIDE
Valermine Docs
Updated 1 November 2026
Welcome to Valermine
Valermine is a free-to-play fantasy idle mining adventure that runs in your browser. You build a crew of miners, equip them with gear and send them deeper through twelve crystal depths.
Your miners keep working while you are away, and every strike can turn up Gold, materials or an equipment chest. This guide explains how the game works, from your first Starter Pack to the final depth.
Waitlist (ended)
The waitlist closed on November 1, 2026. Thank you to everyone who joined. Token launch: November 4, 2026, 2:00 PM UTC. Game launch: 2:30 PM UTC.
- Every completed waitlist entry: 1 Pickaxe Mint.
- Every completed invite: 1 Miner Mint and 1 Pickaxe Mint for the referrer.
Waitlist rewards are delivered to your account after launch as free mints: claim them from Mail, then press Mint free on the Minting page. Your referral code carries over to launch. Beta progress resets at launch.
Getting started
You can start playing in about a minute, with no download and no purchase.
- Create your account. Sign up with an email and password, or sign in with a Robinhood Chain wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect). Sign-in opens at launch on November 4, 2026 (2:30 PM UTC).
- Choose your player name. Your first name is free and belongs to your account on every device.
- Claim your free Starter Pack. It contains the Novice Miner and the Rusty Pickaxe, a bound pair with 20,000 starting Mining Power.
- Start mining. Your miner works the first depth, Mosslight Quarry, right away.
- Grow from there. Open the chests you find, equip body gear and climb toward the next depth.
The starter pair can explore the first four depths. To go past Depth 4, add a regular Miner and Pickaxe pair from a Miner Pack and a Pickaxe Pack.
Miners
Each miner has a fixed base Mining Power; the gear you equip adds to it. Four miners can be found in Miner Packs, plus the Novice Miner from the Starter Pack.
| Miner | Role | Base Mining Power | Miner Pack chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stonebreaker | Quarry pioneer | 20,000 | 69% |
| Mira Silvervein | Crystal explorer | 50,000 | 20% |
| Bram Emberforge | Deep-earth prospector | 100,000 | 10% |
| Kael Valerwarden | Guardian of the deep | 250,000 | 1% |
| Novice Miner | Starter Pack miner | 19,000 | Starter Pack only |
You can deploy up to three miners at once, one per active mining slot. Each working miner needs a pickaxe.
Mining and progression
Mining runs automatically: each deployed miner strikes its own deposit, and every broken rock pays out Gold, materials and experience.
- Three active slots. Deploy up to three miners, each with its own deposit and pickaxe.
- Team Power. The combined Mining Power of your working miners and their gear. Higher power breaks rocks faster.
- Power Strike. Press it (or Space) to deal 3x Mining Power to the current deposit.
- Respawn. A broken deposit returns after 0.5 seconds.
- Levels. Mining earns experience. Your level, Team Power and lifetime rocks unlock deeper depths.
- Gold and materials. Sell collected ore for Gold, and use Gold and materials to upgrade gear.
Offline progress. Normal mining continues at the same speed while you are away, for up to 8 hours per absence.
| Free account | Premium Battlepass | |
|---|---|---|
| Mining experience while offline | 50% | 100% |
| Chests found while offline | Up to 10 per absence | Normal drop rate |
| ETH Bounty participation | While online | Also while offline |
| Mining drops | Normal | +20% |
| Free Weekly Rewards entries per day | 1 | 2 |
Premium Bonus. The Premium track also has a bonus on levels 1, 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60, claimed once each after you reach the level:
| Level | Premium Bonus |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Weekly Event Ticket and 2 Mining Speed boosters |
| 10 | 1 Treasure Chest and 2 Weekly Event Tickets |
| 20 | A Rare Pickaxe |
| 25 | 4 Chest Luck boosters |
| 30 | A free Miner Mint, rolled with the public mint odds |
| 40 | Epic Armor and 2 Treasure Chests |
| 50 | 3 Weekly Event Tickets and 4 Mining EXP boosters |
| 60 | A free Pickaxe Mint, rolled with the public mint odds |
The twelve depths
Each depth pays more than the last, from a 1x reward multiplier in Mosslight Quarry to 10.4x in the Crown of Valer. To enter a depth you must meet every requirement in its row.
| # | Depth | Level | Team Power | Lifetime rocks | Working miners | Equipped gear power | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mosslight Quarry | 1 | 20,000 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1x |

| 12 | Crown of Valer | 57 | 1,400,000 | 140,000 | 3 | 1,200,000 | 10.4x |
Starter-only crews can reach Depth 4. From Depth 5 onward you also need a regular Miner and Pickaxe pair.
Equipment
Gear adds Mining Power, critical chance and mining speed to the miner who wears it. Each miner has six equipment slots.
- Pickaxe. Comes from Pickaxe Packs, or the Rusty Pickaxe in the Starter Pack. Every working miner needs one.
- Body equipment. Helmet, Armor, Gloves, Pants and Boots come from equipment chests found while mining. The chest's depth sets its rarity odds.
Ten rarities, from most common to rarest: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, Ancient, Divine, Cosmic and Relic. Every item also rolls a Quality score that sets where it lands inside its rarity's power range.
- Opening chests. Open one chest or all of them at once from the Chests Found panel. New items go to your Backpack.
- Upgrading. The Equipment Forge raises an item from +0 up to +20. Each upgrade costs Gold, Dust and ore, and the forge shows the success rate and the new power before you confirm.
- Recycling. Recycle items you no longer need to turn them into Dust and free Backpack space.
- Backpack. Holds up to 60 body equipment items. Auto Equip fills empty slots with your best gear.
Packs
Packs are found on the Buy NFT page. Each one reveals one random item at the odds below.
- Miner Pack: one random miner. Odds are in the Miners table above.
- Pickaxe Pack: one random pickaxe, rolled with these odds:
| Rarity | Pack chance | Base power range (+0) |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 40% | 600 – 1,800 |
| Uncommon | 25% | 3,000 – 5,500 |
| Rare | 20% | 7,500 – 13,500 |
| Epic | 10% | 17,000 – 27,500 |
| Legendary | 4% | 37,000 – 52,000 |
| Mythic | 0.6% | 62,000 – 85,000 |
| Ancient | 0.25% | 98,000 – 128,000 |
| Divine | 0.1% | 140,000 – 170,000 |
| Cosmic | 0.04% | 176,000 – 210,000 |
| Relic | 0.01% | 220,000 – 275,000 |
A regular Miner and Pickaxe pair removes the starter lock on Depth 5 and beyond.
NFTs on Robinhood Chain. Every Miner and Pickaxe from a pack is an NFT, minted to your wallet when you buy it. A Miner Pack costs $2 and a Pickaxe Pack $1, paid in ETH on Robinhood Chain; you pay the small network fee. Your NFTs stay bound to the game and move only through it. The Starter Pack pair is not an NFT. Free mints (from rewards) are minted the same way from the Mint free button.
Rewards and events
Beyond everyday mining, several systems reward active and dedicated players.
Daily Rewards. Mine every day to earn your share of the daily rewards pool. Your share grows with the mining points you earn during the day.
- Today's share is finalized at the daily cutoff, 00:00 UTC, and then becomes claimable.
- Claim your rewards from the Daily Rewards panel. Unclaimed rewards stay available.
Mining drops. Rewards drop while your miners break rocks, about once a minute, and appear as "+x" on the Mine screen with today's total.
- Each depth has its own daily limit: deeper depths pay more, and three working miners reach a higher limit than one.
- Offline mining earns at half speed. Starter accounts earn half; Premium Battlepass adds 20%.
- All players share a daily budget. Limits reset at 00:00 UTC.
Weekly Rewards (The World Core). Send a separate event crew on one-hour expeditions and build your weekly contribution. The top 30 contributors share the 500,000 weekly pool, which resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC.
- One free entry every UTC day (two with Premium Battlepass), up to 10 entries per day.
- Extra entries use a ticket from the Shop for 500,000 Gold.
- Each entry runs for one hour, including time away. The event crew cannot use gear that your main crew is using.
ETH Bounty. Ten shared 120-minute cycles run every UTC day, with 20-minute breaks between them. Normal mining drives your participation, which resets when a new cycle starts.
- Funded ETH Fragments are collected in your Backpack. Ten fragments craft one ETH Chest.
- Opening an ETH Chest adds ETH to your separate claimable balance.
- The daily budget depends on the funded season.
Leaderboards. Climb the rankings for Mining Power and other categories. Mining Power is ranked over three periods, each with its own rewards:
| Period | Ranked places | Resets |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Top 30 | Every day at 00:00 UTC |
| Weekly | Top 50 | Every Monday at 00:00 UTC |
| Season | Top 50 | Every two months at 00:00 UTC |
Pools. Mining Power: 30,000 daily, 400,000 weekly and 10,000,000 per season. Referral ranking: 10,000,000 for the whole season.
Gold and Dust Contribution. Only what you contribute during the week counts. Every Monday at 00:00 UTC, the Top 20 of each board share a 100,000 weekly pool with the same split as the Season winners, and a new week starts at zero.
Dust conversion. 100,000 Dust converts into 5,000 rewards.
Each period shows a countdown to its reset and the final winners of the last period. Reward amounts are shown on the leaderboard when they are available.
Crystal Tower City and community
Valermine is more than the mine: the city and your crew connect you with other players.
- Crystal Tower City. Enter the pixel 3D city through the portal on the Mine screen. Walk with WASD or the arrow keys, or tap the path. Visit places such as the Crystal Tower plaza, the Marketplace and the Guild Hall, and see other explorers online.
- Crystal Depths. A cave beyond the Quarry Portal, open for exploring.
- Crews. Create or join a crew in the Guild Hall and grow together with your teammates.
- Marketplace. Trade equipment with other players.
- Referrals. Share your invite link. A friend counts as Verified once they mint 1 Miner and 1 Pickaxe. Every Verified friend gives you all boosts (Mining Speed, Chest Luck and Mining EXP), 1 hour each, and milestone rewards unlock at 1, 10, 30 and 50 Verified friends:
All referral rewards go to the player who invited.
