• On every third digging tick:
  • mining skillgain can trigger (max up to 10 per map to prevent abuse with interupting the dig up process)
  • the pickaxe loses a use (8 uses are required for digging out a chest)

Mining skill requirements (mining skill can be raised with better pickaxes)

Dig radius depending on mining skill (mining skill can be raised with better pickaxes)

• Only the player that picked the lock of a chest may destroy it.
• A chest can be destroyed by left clicking it to get the context menu, and by selecting “Destroy”.
• All items remaining within the chest will be lost when it is destroyed.
• There is a 1.0% chance when destroying a Treasure Map Chest, that the chest will instead appear in your backpack. This chest will be displayed as a “Treasure Chest” and will be in the same color hue (regular iron, shadow, copper, bronze, verite or valorite) as it was when it was found.
