FAQ

Is mining actually worth doing in Hero Siege?

Yes — gold-per-hour from mining routes is competitive with combat farming, which is why guides with titles like 'millions from mining' keep appearing every season. It is not flashy, but it is one of the few farming activities whose income does not depend on drop luck.

Where does mining income come from?

You harvest ore from mining nodes found across the game's zones, then convert that output into gold. With Season 10's reworked market, steady gold income matters more than ever — mining is the low-variance way to get it.

Do I need anything special to start mining?

No special unlock is required — mining is available as soon as you encounter nodes. What changes your income is where you mine: community guides consistently route mining farming through the higher difficulties, where node output scales with the rest of the game.

Why Mining Deserves a Spot in Your Routine

Most Hero Siege farming guides start with combat: packs, bosses, drops. Mining is the quiet alternative — a harvesting loop whose income scales with where you do it rather than how lucky your drops are. In a season whose defining economic change is a reworked market, predictable gold income has never been more directly convertible into gear progress, and mining is the most low-variance source of it in the game.

How Mining Works

The loop is simple: mining nodes spawn across the game’s zones, you harvest them as you pass, and the ore converts into gold. The strategic question is never “how” — it is where. Node output scales with difficulty, which is why the community’s serious mining guides do not farm it in Normal.

That scaling makes mining a natural companion to the difficulty ladder: every tier you climb raises the floor under your mining income without any extra effort on your part.

Where to Mine: the Difficulty Question

Community guides converge on the higher-middle difficulties as the sweet spot — content you can clear fast enough to keep the route moving, with output that actually justifies the trip. The most-watched S10 mining guide puts it in its title: millions from mining in Nightmare, and the route habits it demonstrates travel up the ladder as your build improves.

Fitting Mining into a Farming Week

Mining works best as a filler loop, not a main activity. The pattern that shows up across guides:

Route mining between combat blocks. Harvest nodes along the way whenever you are already traveling through high-difficulty zones — the gold accrues without costing dedicated time.
Dedicated mining sessions when saving for a purchase. When a market item is in sight, an hour of routed mining closes the gap faster than hoping for a drop to sell.
Re-evaluate after each difficulty jump. Your mining route’s value changes every time your build moves up a tier — a route that printed gold in Hell may be obsolete in Inferno.

How Mining Compares to Other Gold Sources

Hero Siege’s gold farming menu has three main entries: combat farming, mining and the endgame money loops around wormholes and Ubers. Their trade-offs:

Combat farming — highest ceiling, drop-luck dependent.
Mining — lowest variance, scales with difficulty, no gear requirements.
Endgame loops — best once your build is complete; punishing before that.

The honest advice: they are not competitors. Mining covers the gaps while combat farming searches for the spike — and Season 10’s economy rewards players who run both.

Mining FAQ

Does mining require a specific character or build?

No. Mining routes run on any build that can survive the zone and clear packs quickly — mobility and kill speed are the only real requirements, which is why fast clearing builds mine more per hour.

Is mining better in a group?

Community opinions differ on group versus solo mining efficiency, and neither has authoritative numbers. Solo routing is the default in guides because it keeps the whole loop under your control.

Did Season 10 change mining?

The S10 economy rework did not target mining directly, but it raised the value of everything gold can buy — which is exactly why mining guides multiplied after Ebontharn launched. Verify current node behavior in-game as 7.0.x patches continue.
