How to get further in the mines faster?

[NotSoSnarky]

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.

Multiplayer for sure have a miner maybe two and a fighter or two

bro I struggle with the flies and the bats

@sierra/sisi123456789 I don't play multiplayer, so that doesn't really help me.

@PebbleStardew I try to avoid the enemies until I can get a decent weapon.

 

[sierra/sisi123456789]

Okay then I would def say avoid the enemies. I have gotten killed by bats one to many times

 

[sierra/sisi123456789]

Also KILL THE COCOONS RIGHT WHEN YOU SEE THEM. When they notice you, they start tryna hatch out. So kill them before they doo

@sierra/sisi123456789 I do definitely try to avoid the enemies. (Sometimes I simply can't), or sometimes it takes too long to find a ladder. The bats can definitely be a pain before you get a solid weapon.

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.
