Frequently Asked Questions
What level should I be before visiting each island?
Stonewake’s Cross (Level 1), Forgotten Kingdom (Level 10), Frostspire Expanse (Level 70). Each island is designed for specific level ranges, so don’t rush to higher islands too early!
Which pickaxe should I buy first?
Start with Bronze (150 gold), upgrade to Iron (500 gold) quickly, then save for Gold (1,500 gold). Skip Platinum unless you’re serious about mining – it’s better to save for Forgotten Kingdom’s Cobalt pickaxe instead.
How do I find secret locations?
Always carry a Simple Lantern, check behind waterfalls and large rocks, and complete NPC quests – many secrets unlock after specific quest completions. The Goblin Village in Forgotten Kingdom is particularly rich in hidden areas.
What’s the best way to make gold quickly?
Focus on mining high-value ores, complete all available quests regularly, sell old equipment at Marbles/Wo’s shops, and explore secret areas for Lucky Blocks and hidden treasures.
Should I invest in expensive pickaxes?
Yes! Better pickaxes dramatically increase your mining efficiency and gold-earning potential. The Lightite Pickaxe (98,500 gold) pays for itself quickly if you’re a serious miner.
Are there any time-sensitive locations or events?
Some secret locations and NPCs only appear during specific times or after completing certain quest chains. The Quest Board in Forgotten Kingdom suggests future time-limited events are coming.
