30 articlesDinkum introduced a new mine that you can explore on a deeper level. However, a lot of players were confused about how they can get to the second level of this mine.
The thing is, it’s actually quite easy that you wouldn’t expect it in the first place. Here’s how to do it.
How to Access Level 2 of the New Deep Mine in Dinkum Blooming Spring
Before you even think about getting to Level 2, your town needs a functional Deep Mine. That means you must unlock Mining Licenses up to at least Mining License Level 2 and Deep Mining Licence from Fletch.
You also have to buy and place the Mine Deed, which places the Deep Mine entrance in your town. This costs around 250 000 Dinks and puts your town in debt when you apply it.

Lastly, purchase a Mine Pass from John’s Goods for 25,000 Dinks. That pass is single-use and required to enter the mine shaft each trip.
Once all that is done, you can ride the elevator down into the first level of the Deep Mine.
That said, Dinkum uses a ruby shard mechanic at the elevator control in the mine shaft to decide which level you’ll visit when you use your Mine Pass.
You can find Rubies on the first mine level. You can either carry them back and sell them at John’s or break them for shards before entering the control panel. Each ruby breaks into shards when mined or crushed.
To set the elevator for the Deeper Mine Level 2, you must collect at least four Ruby Shards.
Once you have them, insert them into the slots which you can find at the elevator control in the mine room. This tells the system you want to go deeper.
Finally, use your Mine Pass while the shards are loaded in the control. The elevator will then take you down to the Level 2 area instead of the main Deep Mine.
What You Can Find in Level 2 of the Deep Mine
Level 2, which has been introduced during the Blooming Spring update, ups the ante compared to the regular deep mine.
There, you’ll find that the enemies are tougher and loot is rarer. As such, you don’t want to go down there without good gear and plenty of food.
Also, you don’t have to sell every ruby you find. If you’re planning a Level 2 run, save the rubies and break them for shards until you’ve hit at least 4 shards.
Once you’ve got your pass and shards ready, just head to the elevator, slot in the shards, and use your Mine Pass.
