How to get further in the mines faster?

The mines are something that I struggle with. I actually enjoy the mini fishing game. Fishing is by far one of the best ways to make money, especially early on in the game.

The issue that I have is the mines. I can never get as far down into the mines as I want. Energy is always a big issue. I catch Chubs, I get the Salomberries (those really help early game), I get Spring Onions and craft Field Snacks, I'll forage for food, buy salads as I need them. I never seem to have enough.

I never seem to have enough cherry bombs, either.

You can buy weapons at the Adventurer's Guild once you have it unlocked. I tend to go there, if I can't find a good weapon through fishing or mining. Spam level 21 repeatedly for Copper Ore, that's usually a good level to get the copper ore needed for a tool upgrade.

bring a ton of food, i usually bring loads of bread or 13 energy tonics, and a couple of stairs.

the best advice i could give is to stock up on bombs, food, and stairs before you head into the mines so you know you'll be prepared.

Maybe you are trying too hard to collect ores and gems instead of just finding a ladder and immediately going down even when there are plenty of shiny things left to pick first. Leave them and go. You can always go back but you can’t go forward without a lot of work. Your goal is to get down, ignore ores and gems and the monsters you can and then once you hit the bottom you can play whichever levels give the most ores and gems you need.

I do try to get resources like Copper Ore, but do mostly try to get down through the mines, finding staircases can take a while though. I know I should make more staircases.
