Mining in CryptoLand offers high rewards—but with a brutal 50% theft rate on unrefined ore. Here’s how to decide if mining is right for you.
How Mining Works
- Own a Miner Avatar (Pickman through Foreman)
- Perform “Mine” action to extract Cryptonium Ore
- Ore sits vulnerable in your inventory
- Refine ore into CRYPTO tokens
- CRYPTO is safe once refined
The Theft Problem
Here’s the catch: Army avatars can steal from the Thieve Pool, which includes unrefined ore. The theft rate is approximately 50%.
This means:
- You might mine 10 ore and keep only 5
- Timing of refinement matters
- Active monitoring helps protect earnings
Mining vs Land Rent Comparison
Land Rent:
- 0% theft risk
- Predictable daily income
- 10 seconds to collect
- Passive
Mining:
- 50% theft risk
- Higher potential ceiling
- Requires active management
- Multiple steps to secure earnings
When Mining Makes Sense
- You have time to actively manage
- You can refine quickly after mining
- You enjoy the risk/reward dynamic
- You have strategies to minimize theft
Mining Strategies
Quick Refine
Refine immediately after mining. Less time vulnerable = less theft.
Off-Peak Mining
Mine when fewer Army players are active. Less competition for Thieve Pool.
Equipment Matters
Better mining equipment increases rewards, offsetting theft losses.
Diversify
Don’t go all-in on mining. Combine with Land for stable base income.
The Verdict
Mining is for active players who enjoy optimization and can handle variance. For daily rewards seekers, Land is the better choice.
