# Pyro Mining

Pyro Mining expands normal mining with custom drops, a secondary economy, passive upgrades, pickaxe enchantments, and minibosses. Your progression begins when you mine ordinary ores.

## Getting Started

1. Mine ores without Silk Touch to collect Pyro Mining drops.
2. Use `/mine stats` to check your Pyro Mining level and `/mine zeta` to check your Zeta balance.
3. Sell flux and gemstones through `/mine shop`.
4. Keep mysterious dust, artifacts, and other progression items until you understand their uses.

## Progression Guide

Work through these guides in order if you are new to the system:

1. [Basic Drops & Economy](/features/pyro-mining/basic-drops-and-economy.md) - learn about flux, gemstones, Zeta, and the shop.
2. [Player Stats](/features/pyro-mining/player-stats.md) - understand your Pyro Mining level and progression statistics.
3. [Artifacts](/features/pyro-mining/artifacts.md) - identify artifacts and fossils and develop artifact passives.
4. [Refinery](/features/pyro-mining/refinery.md) - refine mysterious dust and combine fossils.
5. [Singularity & Runes](/features/pyro-mining/singularity-and-runes.md) - fight rune guardians and unlock passive upgrades.
6. [Oracles](/features/pyro-mining/oracles.md) - summon mining minibosses for additional rewards.
7. [Vessels & Custom Enchantments](/features/pyro-mining/vessels-custom-enchantments.md) - craft Vessels, arrange requiums, and fight Vessel minibosses.

## Commands

* `/mine` or `/mine menu` - open PyroMining home menu
* `/mine journal` - view basic information on the various aspects of PyroMining
* `/mine help` - view list of available commands
* `/mine stats` - view all your PyroMining statistics including level
* `/mine zeta` - view your Zeta balance
* `/mine shop` - access PyroMining shop to sell fluxes, gemstones, and/or artifacts
* `/mine singularity` - upgrade skill tree and check rune requirements

## How the Systems Connect

Mining produces flux, gemstones, mysterious dust, and artifacts. Flux, gemstones, and unsealed artifacts can be sold for money, while the other materials feed into the Refinery, Singularity, Oracle, and Vessel systems. These systems eventually provide passive bonuses and custom pickaxe enchantments.
