Mining Speed

is one of the player statistics. It is a measure of the block-breaking time.

Mechanics
Any item that increases mining speed by a base value (such as ) can be thought of as a decrease of the base breaking time.

does not affect private islands, The Farming Islands, The Park and dungeons. These places use the vanilla mining speed.

There is no known cap for.

Increasing Mining Speed
Players can increase their from the following methods


 * Holding a Pickaxe or Drill, which grants base Mining Speed
 * Using the Efficiency Enchantment, granting up to Mining Speed (or  on a Stonk and up to  Mining speed by upgrading the efficiency level of a pickaxe using Silex)
 * Using a Mining Speed increasing Reforge, such as Fleet
 * Wearing Mining Gear that has Mining Speed status
 * Upgrading the Level 1 Perk "Mining Speed" in the Heart of the Mountain, granting Mining Speed per Level
 * By having the Titanium Talisman (or its upgraded variants) granting mining speed as talisman,  as ring,  as artifact and  as relic.
 * Certain pets such as the Mithril Golem Pet
 * Applying Amber Gemstones to certain items

Mining Fatigue Effect
Players are given the Mining Fatigue Effect while in public islands (not private islands, The Farming Islands, The Park and dungeons) to remove the vanilla mining behavior (client-side mining animations) and let the server handle the animations itself. It does not slow down or remove Mining Speed, but is in fact necessary for the Mining Speed implementation.

It also provides additional aesthetic benefits:


 * No breaking/mining animation (except for the swinging) for blocks that cannot be broken
 * No ghost blocks due to mining blocks
 * No block rollbacks
 * Mining animation synced up with the server's speed (server's TPS)
 * Blocks don't turn into air before getting replaced by bedrock (or another block)

This however didn't change known Bugs with ghost blocks in private islands and dungeons, as there is no Mining Fatigue Effect in these places.

Interactions

 * Ore-specific mining speed increases (see Mithril Golem Pet and Mithril Pickaxe) are not affected by Mining Speed Boost.

Achieving Maximum Mining Speed
To achieve maximum mining speed, the player must first use a full set of recombobulated Divan Armor with the Jaded reforge and use a Divan's Drill with the Fleet reforge and Efficiency 10 (achieved by upgrading the efficiency level of a pickaxe using Silex), as well as having the Haste 4 Effect active and Legendary Mithril Golem pet at lvl 100. Players must also max out the Mining Speed, Mining Madness, Sky Mall, Front Loaded, Precision Mining, and Crystallized Heart of the Mountain perks for additional mining speed. This setup gives a total of  for the first 1000 ores of the day while the Sky Mall perk has chosen 100 Mining Speed and while the wind event is on, facing the wind
