Drills are tools used in the Mining skill to obtain ore and stone, similar to Pickaxes.

Mechanics

[edit | edit source]

Drills are mining tools for rock-based materials. They can use the same Enchantments and Reforges as pickaxes do. They also have a Breaking Power just like pickaxes.

Drills only work on islands that utilize the custom mining system that uses Mining Speed instead of the vanilla mining system: this includes the Gold Mine, the Deep Caverns, the Dwarven Mines, the Crystal Hollows, Glacite Mineshafts, The End, the Crimson Isle, and in Kuudra's Hollow.

Drills require Fuel to function. Most blocks cost 1 Fuel to mine, Rough Aquamarine Gemstone Aquamarine, Rough Onyx Gemstone Onyx, Rough Citrine Gemstone Citrine and Rough Peridot Gemstone Peridot Gemstones cost 2 Fuel to mine, whereas Glacite Glacite, Tungsten Tungsten and Umber Umber cost 3 Fuel to mine.

The remaining Drill Fuel can be seen on the action bar.

Upgrading

[edit | edit source]

On upgrading a Drill to a higher tier, such as forging a Mithril Drill SX-R226 Mithril Drill SX-R226 into a Mithril Drill SX-R326 Mithril Drill SX-R326, it will keep all its Drill Parts and extra stats, including Enchantments, Reforges, and used Recombobulator 3000 Recombobulators. It should be noted that the Titanium Drill DR-X355 Titanium Drill DR-X355 is not an upgrade of the Mithril Drill SX-R326 Mithril Drill SX-R326, and is instead crafted purely from raw materials.

Drill Parts

[edit | edit source]

Drill Parts are additional upgrades for Drills. These can be combined to a drill using a Drill Anvil. There are three available categories of Drill Parts, being Fuel Tanks, Drill Engines, and Upgrade Modules.

  • The Mithril Drill SX-R326 Mithril Drill SX-R326 is generally not recommended, since it has low Breaking Power, and is very expensive for its stats: however, it is excellent for Mithril Powder gain.
  • If player wishes to progress via Crystal Hollows, they should use the Gemstone Drill line since they're cheap and grant very useful Pristine as well as other bonuses when mining Gemstones.
    • This is true until the player can afford Titanium Drill DR-X655 which is universal and the second best mining tool, due to it having a slot for Topaz gemstone, unlike its predecessors.
  • On the other side, if the player wishes to progress through Dwarven Mines, the Titanium Drills become a good alternative to Mithril gear.

Notes

[edit | edit source]
  • Extra blocks mined with the Efficient Miner HotM perk do not consume extra Fuel.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • On August 23, 2022 all Drills would give 50-550 (depending on Drill Engine) of each stat due to a bug, this was fixed minutes later.
