Start early, bring a lot of food, Goddess Pendant, equip green wonderfuls to your tools, save on each floor, etc etc.

It's a lot of work.

The best food to mine is the egg soup, boiled egg, hot chocolate, hot milk and fried egg. They are very easy to cook and the ingredients are easy to get.

If you want to receive more gems during mining - upgrade your hammer with the orange wonderful.

You will not be able to get to the bottom of the mine on your first try. In this game you have a mining degree, and the higher your mining degree is the farther down the mine you can go. Your mining degree starts very low, and the only way to raise it is to mine (break rocks, dig up the floor, ship gems/ores).

The best food for beginning miners/people still early on in the game is fried eggs (they require one egg and one oil). With a low mining degree you can probably only get down to floor 10, maybe floor 25. I suggest bringing somewhere from 10 to 30 fried eggs depending on how much you want to mine. Other great foods to bring are steamed egg custard, pudding, ice cream, vegetable juice, etc. You will be able to cook these later in the game.

You'll also want wonderfuls equipped to your hammer/hoe. The best ones for the mine are green and orange wonderfuls. Green wonderfuls make the tool use less stamina, so you will not be as tired after using it. Orange wonderfuls multiply the product by two, so if you break a rock you will get two gems instead of one. You probably don't have these wonderfuls yet, but you probably will get them eventually.

This is what the rocks in the mine contain, depending on the floor number:
1: Amethyst
2: Agate
3: Fluorite
4: Peridot
5 Topaz
6: Ruby
7: Emerald
8: Sand Rose
9: Moonstone
10: (When you reach this floor for the first time, the harvest goddess will have a message for you) Floor 10 contains adamantine, which can be used to create machines from Gannon.
11 through 24: All gems apart from diamond, pink diamond and alexandrite
25: This floor contains orichalcum, a very important gem used to create accessories. Once you have enough, you can ask Charlie to make you the Harvest Goddess Pendant. That pendant gives you more stamina and will make mining easier.
26 though 49: Copper, silver, gold
50: Mythic stone (valuable)
51 through 74: Every gem and ore EXCEPT - mythic stone, mystrile, adamantite and orichalcum
75: Stay away from this floor. The rocks are empty and there are no stairs or pitfalls. You will be stuck.
76 through 99: Copper, silver, gold, myrstile
100: Nothing again.
101 through 124: All gems except pink diamond and alexandrite.
125: Alexandrite (valuable)
126 through 149: All gems except pink diamond and alexandrite.
150: Diamond, pink diamond (valuable)
151 through 174: All gems except pink diamond and alexandrite.
175: Nothing.
176 through 199: All gems except pink diamond and alexandrite.
200: Nothing
201 through 224: All gems except pink diamond and alexandrite.
225: Adamantite and orichalcum
226 through 249: All gems except pink diamond and alexandrite.
250 through 254: ALL gems and ALL ores.
255: LAST FLOOR. The Harvest Goddess will appear and give you a wonderful.

Something to keep in mind while mining is to always save. Save before you fall down a pitfall because you might lose all of your stamina and pass out. If you do, you can turn the power off and restart from your last save point. Also, don't bother with the lava blobs (water them and they give you gelatin). The only thing the gelatin is good for is giving to Elliot to befriend/woo him, or for recipes. They are a waste of stamina.

Hope this helped. Have fun mining, and good luck!

I forgot to say this: When you actually are going to reach the bottom of the mine, bring about 200 pudding or ice cream or steamed egg custard. Or, bring about 300 to 400 fried eggs.
I know that seems like a lot, but better safe than sorry.

where do i get oil?

[Yam]

Chen sells oil in his shop.
To get recipes, you need to give ingredients to Nick or Halia at the Diner or Café. Once your house is upgraded to medium size, Chen will sell the refrigerator and the kitchen in his store. You need those to cook.

You have to cook them by yourself.
Egg soup and boiled egg - you need only an egg from your chicken
Hot milk - you need a milk from your cow
Hot chocolate - you need a milk and chocolate (you can buy it from Chen)
Fried egg - egg + oil (from Chen).
Sadly, first you have to get the recipe from the Dinner owner or Cafe lady. Silly system, I know.
Egg soup - give an egg to the cafe lady (4th time)
Hot Milk - give a milk to the cafe lady
Hot Chocolate - give a chocolate to the cafe lady
Boiled Egg - give an egg to the cafe lady
Fried Egg - give an egg to the cafe lady (3rd time)

This might help you out with the mining:

If you having a problem with pitfalls, use your hoe to make a path and only walk in that path. A pitfall will deplete your stamina faster than using any of the tools. Try to always find the stairs. The pitfalls may save a few minutes but shouldn't be used as a rule until you have two green wonderfuls in both your hammer and hoe (a tool takes two stamina points to use, a green wonderful will save one point for each wonderful.

If your mining degree is too low to get very far in the mine, you can return to the top and work your way back down. By using your hoe and hammer over and over you will find that you can get further and further in the mine.

When you are in Fall save some of your Yams for Baked Yams. I usually have so many by the end of the season that I can bring a stack of 99 with me into the mine.
