Drill to Earth's Core Miner Levels and Perks
| Level | Perk | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +50% pickaxe damage | Buy the class (100 Cores) |
| 2 | Each pickaxe hit has a 25% chance to deal 300% more damage | Mine 100 coal and 25 diamonds (Fandom's Classes page) |
| 3 | Ores and bars sell for 100% more coins | Smelt 50 iron ores and 25 gold ores (Fandom's Classes page) |
| 4 | Every player gets +25% pickaxe damage | Reach a total depth of 500,000 m (Fandom's Classes page) |
The perks are paraphrased from allthings.how's class list (24 September). Requirements come only from a dated or named source, shown after each one; Fandom's older class table predates several balance patches, so check the class menu in the lobby before you grind.
The Level 4 perk works for the whole team, not only you.
500,000 m is the depth of 5 full runs to the core at 100 km.
How to Unlock Miner
Classes are bought with Cores at the class shop in the lobby. Sportskeeda and Deltia's Gaming say the shop restocks every 12 hours and Deltia's Gaming says the stock is random, so Miner may not be for sale when you look. Check back after the next restock.
Every Tier 1 class costs 100 Cores: Recruit cost the same. Cores come from chests, boss walls, badges and codes; how to get Cores lists every source, and the code GAMENAME on the codes page gives 500 Cores.
Once you own more than one class, Fandom's Classes page says 2,500 Cores roll a random passive from another class you own onto the one you play.
Its Level 3 perk is about ore prices, which the items page lists: coal sells for 25 coins and a ruby for 3,000. Smelting happens at a furnace structure, covered on the dungeons and structures page.
Miner Patch Changes and Source Notes
- Fandom says Miner is one of two classes a new player can pick for free on their first join.
- The 22 August patch notes give lower requirements: mine 25 coal and 3 diamonds, then smelt 10 iron and 3 gold. Fandom's class page still lists the higher numbers, so check the class menu in the lobby.
- The 29 August patch notes changed Level 3 to ores and gems selling for +25% (bars removed), while allthings.how on 24 September still lists +100% for ores and bars.
