AncientsWiki

Tartarus has eight mines, each centered on its namesake ore. You unlock them as you level up, and once a mine is unlocked, it stays unlocked for good.

Getting around

Run /warp to open the warp menu. Every mine tile shows a danger meter, the players nearby, the level required, and the warp coordinates. Click an unlocked tile to teleport, or skip the menu with /warp <name>, which tab-completes and only suggests warps you've unlocked. Locked tiles show the level you still need to reach.

The eight mines

Mine Theme Unlocks at Notes
Coal The Forges of Hephaestus Level 1 Open from the start
Iron The Cyclopes' Foundry Level 10 A wooden pickaxe can mine iron from Level 10
Lapis Poseidon's Grotto Level 25
Redstone Ares' Armoury Level 45
Gold The Temple of Apollo Level 65
Diamond The Frozen Vault of Boreas Level 85
Emerald The Garden of the Hesperides Level 100 Needs a diamond pickaxe or better
Netherite The Molten Harbour Prestige 2 + Level 102 A world of its own

The first seven mines sit in the prison world. Each one is lit and decorated in its own theme.

The Netherite Mine

The Netherite Mine is a separate world, the Molten Harbour: a harbour on a sea of lava, with one great entrance leading into 17 caverns of ancient debris. You need Prestige 2 and Level 102 to warp there. Only the warp platform is safe.

Danger and guards

The danger meter climbs with each tier, so deeper mines pay more but are riskier. PvP is on in every mine: only the warp arrival platform is safe ground. (See Ore Values & Respawn Times for what each mine drops.)

Mine guards watch over the mines, and Hitmen are posted in the Emerald mine. The deepslate parts of Redstone, Gold and Diamond are unguarded. See Guards for guard types, health and Guard Frenzy.

Beyond the mines

The warp menu reaches more than the mines. Its other tiles take you to the Erebus Pit, Forgotten Polis, the Asphodel Meadows, King of the Hill, and the timed Calcite Caverns. Each has its own page.
