Farming Guide

Welcome to the GladiusRO Mining PvP area. This guide explains how to farm Variant Minerals, the available rewards, reward chances, quantities, access limits, and PvP restrictions.

Quick Summary

• Defeat Variant Mineral monsters on an eligible Mining PvP map.
• VIP and Non-VIP players have the same reward chances and quantities.
• Normal material chance: 40% per Variant Mineral kill.
• Golden Diamond Box (Item ID: 102806) chance: 20% per Variant Mineral kill.
• Golden Diamond Box quantity: 1 to 5 boxes when successful.
• The material and Golden Diamond Box rewards are rolled independently.
• A player may receive both rewards from the same kill.
• Active VIP players have unlimited mining time.
• Non-VIP and expired VIP players may mine for up to 5 hours per account each day.

How to Farm

1. Enter an eligible Mining PvP map.
2. Search for a monster named Variant Mineral.
3. Defeat the Variant Mineral.
4. The server performs a Golden Diamond Box reward roll.
5. The server separately performs a normal material reward roll.
6. Successful rewards are placed directly into your inventory.
7. Continue searching after the Variant Mineral respawns.

Variant Minerals respawn approximately 3 seconds after being defeated. They can respawn at a new random valid position on the map.

Reward Chances

Normal Mining Material

Every Variant Mineral kill has a 40% chance to award one normal mining material. This chance is the same for Active VIP, Non-VIP, and expired VIP players.

Golden Diamond Box

Every Variant Mineral kill has a separate 20% chance to award Golden Diamond Box, Item ID 102806. A successful roll awards a random quantity from 1 to 5 boxes. Each quantity from 1 to 5 has an equal chance.

The Golden Diamond Box does not replace the normal material reward. A player can receive both rewards from the same Variant Mineral.

Possible Result From One Kill

Because both rolls are independent:

• Normal material and Golden Diamond Box: 8%
• Normal material only: 32%
• Golden Diamond Box only: 12%
• No reward: 48%

These are long-term probabilities. They do not guarantee a reward after a fixed number of kills.

Normal Material Reward List

If the 40% material roll succeeds, one material is selected from this table:

Item ID	Material	Selection Chance After Material Success	Effective Chance Per Mineral Kill
756	Rough Oridecon	14.00%	5.60%
757	Rough Elunium	14.00%	5.60%
984	Oridecon	9.00%	3.60%
985	Elunium	9.00%	3.60%
6224	Bradium	6.00%	2.40%
6223	Carnium	6.00%	2.40%
1000331	Etherium	4.00%	1.60%
1000332	Etherdeocon	4.00%	1.60%
1000322	Etel Dust	6.00%	2.40%
6240	HD Oridecon	5.00%	2.00%
6241	HD Elunium	5.00%	2.00%
6225	HD Carnium	3.00%	1.20%
6226	HD Bradium	3.00%	1.20%
7619	Enriched Elunium	2.50%	1.00%
7620	Enriched Oridecon	2.50%	1.00%
1000333	Enriched Etherium	1.00%	0.40%
1000334	Enriched Etherdeocon	1.00%	0.40%
1000335	HD Etherium	0.75%	0.30%
1000336	HD Etherdeocon	0.75%	0.30%
1000368	Etel Bradium	1.00%	0.40%
1000370	Etel Carnium	1.00%	0.40%
1000369	HD Etel Bradium	0.75%	0.30%
1000371	HD Etel Carnium	0.75%	0.30%

The effective chance includes the initial 40% material success roll. Example: Rough Oridecon has a 14% selection chance after material success, so its effective chance per kill is 40% x 14% = 5.60%.

Normal Material Quantity

When a normal material is awarded, its quantity uses this weighted distribution:

Quantity	Chance After Material Success
1	25%
2	20%
3	15%
4	10%
5	8%
6	7%
7	5%
8	4%
9	3%
10	3%

Lower quantities are intentionally more common. The default normal material quantity range is 1 to 10.

Golden Diamond Box Quantity

When the 20% Golden Diamond Box roll succeeds, the quantity is selected equally from 1 to 5:

Quantity	Chance After Golden Diamond Success	Effective Chance Per Mineral Kill
1 box	20%	4%
2 boxes	20%	4%
3 boxes	20%	4%
4 boxes	20%	4%
5 boxes	20%	4%

Probability Notice

Rewards are calculated independently for each Variant Mineral kill. A 40% or 20% chance does not guarantee a reward within a particular number of kills. Lucky and unlucky streaks are normal.

Rates may be adjusted for server balancing, maintenance, or special events. Refer to the latest GladiusRO announcement if the in-game settings change.
