Hello Graalians!
Some of you know that I started a full guide for Era Jobs (mostly meant for newbies but can be really helpful), press this link to go straight to that post

However, I did not have enough space to include the mining job in there (due to the 11000 character limit) so I have decided to make a separate guide for mining since it takes some space anyway.
Hope you enjoy it
Mining
Mining is a job that has grown quite a bit popular compared to some jobs.
Mining is basically done by buying a drill at Wiluna mines for $140, you equip the drill, enter the mines and spam your attack button to mine the walls in there. When you are done with mining, you enter your rocks into the machine that is found in the mines, looks like this:

Once you have turned all your rocks into minerals (there are 12 different minerals whose prices vary between $5-10 each) you sell them at the place to the left of Wiluna Mines.
Current Minerals
Normal Minerals:
Iron, Lead, Silver, Copper, Quartz and Gypsum ($5 each). Sorted below, respectively.

Rare Minerals:
Gold ($10), Diamond ($10), Emerald ($8), Ruby ($7) and Sapphire ($7). Sorted below, respectively.

When your battery runs out, all you have to do is buy another battery for $80 (no need to buy as soon as you buy your first drill).
Still, there are some features in mining that might make it your favorite job:
1) Leveling:
Just what it sounds like. Mining rocks are like your experience points, you mine until you level up. Leveling up does help you, it makes your drill mine rocks easier as well as granting you achievements that give you Event Coin pieces. With every level you gain, the amount of rocks needed for your next level increases (which is bad news

). You can view your Mining Level and Rocks Left For Next level through opening the drill in your inventory. Every level decreases the time to mine a single rock by 0.3sec.
2) Locations:
No matter where you are on the map, you will always find a place to mine in. Not just that, the mines are very wide from inside allowing to fit a lot of players.
Currently, there are 5 known locations where you can mine in, which are represented by my head icon:
3) Less Effort:
Mining is one of the jobs that require the least effort since all you need to do is tap while other jobs require moving around and involve painful death </3.
4) Gun Repairs:
Minerals are essential in order to repair your rusty gun so they could be as dangerous as they were when you first bought them. Other than
VIP Subscriptions, mining is the only way to repair your guns. This uses a few minerals and gralats.
5) Tradeable:
Trying to buy a super? Need extra trochus? This feature will be very useful for you.
Many people at trades/start are looking for minerals in exchange for their trochus. This can very useful for you if you don't need both.
MINING TIPS
1. I find this position the most effective, requires no moving, only tapping to mine:

This way, you only change your position, not your whole place.
2. Do not use macros or automatic actions, if caught you will be jailed for hacking.
3. Go to mining as an AFK job, it pays well at high levels with minimum effort
