The Gummi Mine

This content has been retired and is no longer available in game.

INSTRUCTIONS: Starting at the bottom of the mine, click a chunk of rock adjacent to an open section of mine to excavate that space. Mining a chunk of the cavern wall takes one Adventure.

Trying to mine a section that is not adjacent to an already mined section, you receive the popup message:

You cannot reach this section of the mine.

The walls of the cave are also clickable, and will produce the message:

This wall is too hard to dig into.

• After you have mined at least once:

If you no longer want to mine in this spot, you can click the button below to wander around in the mine until you find a new cavern to mine. This does not take an Adventure. If you do this, you won't be able to remember where this current cavern is, though.

Find New Cavern

• Clicking on "Find New Cavern":

You wander around randomly in the mine until you find a new section of mine to defile.

Notes

• Part of The Candy Diorama during Crimbo 2011.
• You must be wearing the Mining Gear or Dwarvish War Uniform, or have the Earthen Fist effect, in order to access this area.
• When you begin, you are presented with a 6x6 square of black rock. Some of the squares twinkle, but only if next to an open section. The sections with "A Promising Chunk of Wall" always contain one of the nine outcomes listed above.
  • Each of the 3 kinds of gummi can be found 4 times per cavern. Also, the 4 squares containing a particular gummi are always contiguous. Gummi are never found in the bottom 2 rows. They are usually found in the top 3 rows, and sometimes the lower middle row.
  • Candy gems can be found 3 times per cavern. They are not contiguous, and can be found anywhere in the grid.
  • One fossil can be found per cavern, once the appropriate Advent Calendar section has been punched. If you visited the cavern before punching Section 9, you will not find any fossils until you start on a new cavern.
  • The undesirable result (loss of HP) can be found 4 times per cavern. They are not contiguous, and occur mostly in the bottom 3 rows in the grid, but can occur in the upper rows as well. The damage caused is 75%-150% of the player's Muscle, rounded up.
• Squares which contain items twinkle when they are next to an open section or if your current effects include Object Detection or you are wearing the Dwarvish War Uniform.
• There are several different twinkle animations, but these are not meaningful. If you refresh the page for a cavern, the twinkle animations will randomly change.
• The mouse-over alt text for sections that twinkle will read "Promising Chunk of Wall (X,Y)" while non-twinkling sections will read "Rocky Wall (X,Y)"
• Trying to adventure here with 0 HP yields:

You're way too beaten up to mine right now. Use a healing item, or rest at your campsite.
