Darksteel is an essential in-game resource in MIR4. Players need to farm Darksteel to progress in the game. Moreover, upon reaching Level 40, they can exchange Darksteel for Draco, the game's cryptocurrency, to earn real-world money. In the Philippines, MIR4 players can cash out Draco to GCash.
Every player will require Darksteel at some point during the game, so it's best if we learn the best ways and spots for mining Darksteel in MIR4 and maximize our profits. This guide will discuss how to get Darksteel, the best locations to mine, and some tips on farming them.
Ways to Farm Darksteel in MIR4
Here are several methods on how to obtain Darksteel in MIR4.
1. Doing Missions and Tasks
There are several quests in MIR4 that reward you with free Darksteel. "Mission" quests, which can be set to Auto-Play, can be repeated a specified number of times daily. "Requests" can only be accomplished once.
On the other hand, "Daily tasks" give a fair amount of Darksteel as rewards. Besides daily tasks, you can also obtain one-time Darksteel rewards by unlocking achievements.
2. Mine Darksteel at Hidden Valleys (Bicheon, Snake, Redmoon)
The Valley System can be unlocked once your character level reaches Level 20. Moreover, the best spots to mine Darksteel in MIR4 are Bicheon Valley, Snake Valley, and Redmoon Valley. Below are the requirements for entering the Hidden Valleys.
- Bicheon Valley (2F to 4F): Conquest - Holy Shrine Stage 3
- Snake Valley (1F to 4F): Conquest - Portal Stage 6
- Redmoon Valley (1F to 4F): Character Level 75 and finished the main quest - A Fine Line Between Good and Evil
To go to your desired Hidden Valley, open your Global Map by clicking your current location name on the top right corner (next to Channel Button). Below are the areas of each Hidden Valley.
- Bicheon Area - Bicheon Valley
- Snake Pit Area - Snake Valley
- Spiritual Center Area - Redmoon Valley
Next, click on the "Gathering Grounds and Quarry" dropdown button. Select Darksteel Mining Site and click on the "Move" button (or "Fast Travel" if you have enough Fast Travel Scroll).
In these Hidden Valleys, you can mine unlimited Darksteel. The higher the Valley floor, the better the mining spot and the more Darksteel you can farm. Note that the 4th Floor is a "Danger" area where players can kill other players without decreasing alignment points. When your character dies, there will be a death penalty, which includes EXP reduction, item loss, internal injury, and a longer resurrection cooldown.
Each Darksteel node has a specific rarity based on its color. Check out the amount of Darksteel you can get according to the color of the DS node:
- Common (Gray/White): 25-33 Darksteel
- Uncommon (Green): 35-43 Darksteel
- Rare (Blue): 45-63 Darksteel
- Epic (Red): 100-150 Darksteel
- Legendary (Yellow/Gold): 150-200 Darksteel
3. Mine Darksteel at Magic Square
Another location to mine Darksteel is the Darksteel Chamber room in the Magic Square. Compared to Hidden Valleys, the amount of Darksteel you can get in the Darksteel Chamber is higher. Just be cautious of PK (player kill).
The Magic Square is accessible after completing a mission at Level 24.
To go to Magic Square, click the "+" (plus) icon in the game, select Portal, and click on Magic Square. Be sure that you have a Magic Square Ticket. There are two entries per day.
The Magic Square is made up of many rooms. You can change rooms every five seconds by clicking the "Moveable" button, and you will be taken to a random room for each move.
It may take several attempts, but simply continue teleporting until you reach Darksteel Chamber—a room filled with Darksteel mining nodes.
A Magic Square Ticket is good for 30 minutes. If you have spare tickets, you can extend your time to earn the maximum amount of Darksteel possible. Just click the "+" button beside the "Time Limit" to open the "Extend Time Left" menu.
Moreover, the higher the Magic Square floor, the higher the Darksteel rewards.
4. Mine Darksteel at Secret Peak
Secret Peak is a special area that you can enter daily using your Secret Peak Ticket. You can access it after completing the "Enter the Secret Peak" quest.
To go to Secret Peak, click the "+" (plus) icon in the game, select Portal, and click on Secret Peak. Here, the Darksteel nodes are scattered throughout the map.
Just like Magic Square, Secret Peak allows 2 entries per day. One Secret Peak ticket is valid for 30 minutes and is also extendable.
In addition, the higher the Secret Peak floor, the higher the amount of Darksteel to be mined.
5. Obtain Darksteel via Clan Gift
One of the advantages of being in a Clan in MIR4 is obtaining free Darksteel. Just open Clan Info and go to Supply, then Clan Gift and click Claim All.
6. Crafting Darksteel Box in Magic Square
Another way to obtain Darksteel for free is via crafting Darksteel Box in Magic Square.
The three rarities of Darksteel Box are as follows:
- Epic [E] Darksteel Box contains 100,000 Darksteel. It requires [E] Lunar Shard x5, [E] Boundless Shard x5, and 5000 Copper.
- Rare [R] Darksteel Box contains 20,000 Darksteel. It requires [R] Lunar Shard x5, [R] Boundless Shard x5, and 1000 Copper.
- Uncommon [UC] Darksteel Box contains 4,000 Darksteel. It requires [UC] Lunar Shard x5, [UC] Boundless Shard x5, and 500 Copper.
The shards can be collected in all rooms of Magic Square.
To craft a Darksteel Box, click the NPC named Stray Specter, the Special Material Merchant.
