[Guide] [Mini-games] [Pandora's Mine]<+> MU Online Fanz <+> The leading MU Online fan site & game guide!

[Jewel Pockets], which contain uncut [Jewels of Bless], can be found throughout [MU]! These raw material deposits are pretty tough, and therefore require the powerful [Pandora Pick] in order to attempt mining them. [Pandora Pick] is a special pickaxe crafted from many [Jewels of Bless]. [Weapons Merchant Bolo], a NPC located in [Karutan], crafts these pickaxes and offers them for sale. However, this item (sold by the NPC) will only have [Durability]: [1/255]. Therefore, you will need to apply [Jewel of Bless] onto the item in order to strengthen it up for the [Pandora's Mine] [Mini-game]! It is legend that the Goddess Pandora watches over the mines and occasionally gifts very lucky players with huge amounts of [Jewel of Bless]!

[Pandora's Mine] tips & tricks:

Be prepared to use a massive a mount of [Jewel of Bless] to invest into it.
Investing a small amount of [Jewel of Bless] is likely to not make any profit.
Consistently claiming [Jewel of Bless] on mining attempt #3 is most likely to make a profit, but will prevent the chance of getting [Pandora's Gift].
[Blue Jewel Pocket] seems to have a higher [Success Rate].
If you earn more than double the amount of [Jewel of Bless] you started with, stop mining for a while. Go do something else with a success rate variable, and then return. Some rumor this will help prevent a "fail streak" after getting a lot of consecutive successes.
