Mining, Forging & Inventory Overview

Mining Mastery

Progress through Trivial → Easy → Medium → Hard → Expert → Master → Impossible. Higher mastery improves success rates and unlocks deeper mining abilities.
Start: Trivial Expertise Required Mastery Gates

Forging

Skill levels (Beginner → Grandmaster) map to Grades (Normal → Divine). Final stats = Ore base + Grade modifiers (weight gets lighter at higher grades).
Material Matters Grade Boosts EPS Driven

Inventory

Unlimited inventory organized by category for quick reference: tools, materials, supplies, equipment.

Calculations
Mining Success Rate: Base chance = (Mining Mastery Level / 10) + (Tool Quality / 100)
Adjusted for biome difficulty: Trivial +20%, Easy +10%, Medium 0%, Hard -10%, Expert -20%, Master -30%, Impossible -50%
Final success = Base + Adjustments (capped at 95%)

Forging Formula: Final Stat = Ore Base * (1 + (Grade Multiplier / 100))
Grade Multipliers: Normal 0%, Apprentice 10%, Journeyman 20%, Expert 30%, Master 40%, Grandmaster 50%, Divine 60%
Weight reduction: Each grade level reduces weight by 5% (Divine = 30% lighter)

EPS Calculation: Effective Power Score = (Strength * 0.4) + (Hardness * 0.3) + (Toughness * 0.3)
For weapons: Add damage modifiers, for armor: Add defense modifiers
Boss scaling: Base EPS + (Biome Rarity * 10) + (Tier Multiplier)

Inventory Management: Capacity = Base 100 + (Mining Mastery * 5)
Auto-sort by category, unlimited stack sizes for identical items
Quick transfer: Drag and drop between categories

Biome Discovery: Chance = (Exploration Skill / 100) + (Luck Modifier / 50)
Rare biomes require specific quests or high-level access
Hazards reduce success rates but increase rare ore chances

Monster Encounter: Spawn rate = (Biome Danger Level / 10) + (Time of Day Modifier)
Daytime: -10% spawn, Night: +20% spawn, Eclipse: +50% spawn
Elite chance: 5% base, increased by 1% per mining level above 50

Resource Yield: Base yield = Mining success * (1 + (Luck / 200))
Critical success (5% chance): Double yield + rare bonus item
Chain mining: Consecutive successes increase yield by 10% per chain

Equipment Durability: Base durability = Material Toughness * 100
Wear rate: Reduced by 50% for Master+ forging grade
Repair cost: 25% of original material value

Trading Values: Base value = (EPS * 10) + (Rarity Multiplier * 100)
Rarity multipliers: Common 1x, Uncommon 2x, Rare 5x, Epic 10x, Legendary 25x, Mythic 50x, Divine 100x
Market fluctuations: ±20% based on supply/demand
