Minerals

For resources, see Category:Resources.

For an index to the completed minerals collection, see Collections#Minerals.

Minerals are items that can be found in the Mines and the Skull Cavern. Most minerals are acquired from geodes after having Clint process them. Some are found on the ground and some can be mined from nodes, which are also found in the Quarry. They can also sometimes be acquired as Monster Drops, as gifts from Villagers, or from the Statue of Endless Fortune. Minerals (other than geode minerals) are also possible items found in Fishing Treasure Chests.

Minerals can be donated to the Museum for rewards and achievements. Minerals not yet donated will have an item description of "Gunther can tell you more about this if you donate it to the museum." After one of that mineral has been donated, the item's description will appear. There are 53 different minerals which can be donated.

All Minerals, Gems, and Geodes can be used in the spool of the Sewing Machine located inside Emily and Haley's house to Tailor clothing, once the Sewing Machine is unlocked. All minerals, gems, and geodes can be used to dye existing clothing using the Sewing Machine, and some can be used to dye clothing using Dye Pots.

Minerals can be sold at a shipping box and also to the Blacksmith.

Foraged Minerals

Foraged minerals are found on the ground in The Mines and the Skull Cavern. They can be picked up in the same way that other forageables can, and if the Gatherer profession is chosen at Foraging level 5 then the player has a chance of a double harvest. They are used in crafting recipes and in the Geologist's Bundle in the Boiler Room.

Note that picking up foraged minerals normally does not award Foraging XP, but a bug results in 7 Foraging XP awarded only for a duplicate mineral created by the Gatherer profession.

Geode Minerals

Geode minerals are extracted from geodes. They are mainly used as donations to the Museum, or sold for a small profit. They can be used to tailor or dye clothing. They are generally disliked as gifts. The Wizard likes all Geode Minerals.

Geodes

Geodes are mineral deposits that contain minerals, certain Artifacts, or basic resources. They can be found primarily by breaking rocks in The Mines.

Geodes must be processed either using a Geode Crusher or at the Blacksmith to obtain the minerals inside. Clint charges data-sort-value="25">25g each, while the Geode Crusher is free once available. Certain minerals are only available from certain types of Geodes, but Omni Geodes can contain any mineral.

Note that unopened Geodes are NOT considered to be "minerals" themselves, so they cannot be donated to the Museum.

Collection

Minerals do not have to be shipped or donated to the Museum to count towards the Collections Tab of the player menu. They only need to be picked up.

Note that minerals found in Fishing Treasure Chests may not appear as found on the collections tab. Dragging the mineral outside the inventory window and allowing it to be taken back into inventory may correct this. Holding the mineral in inventory overnight may also correct this.

Note also that minerals' descriptions appear on the collections tab as soon as they are found, even while the inventory description says "Gunther can tell you more about this if you donate it to the museum."

History

1.1: Removed quality stars from foraged minerals.
1.5: Geodes can now be processed outside of the Blacksmith using Geode Crushers.
