✅ You’ll mine Orichalcum to earn points.
✅ You’ll face all players as enemies (even your allies).
✅ The goal is to score as many points as possible within 30 minutes.

The higher your rank, the better the rewards: exclusive avatar frames, charm designs, charm guides, gems, and resources to boost your Chief’s power.

Requirements & Registration

✅ Furnace level 16+ required
✅ Register and fight on the same day
✅ Choose from 6 time slots (4 hours apart)
✅ Missed your chosen time? No problem—just sign up for another slot
✅ All your troops must be inside your settlement before joining
✅ Troops won’t die and you can’t attack other players’ cities during the event

📍 Map Layout

When you join, you’ll be randomly placed on a circular map divided into three rings:

Outer Ring → Level 1 Mines
Middle Ring → Level 2 Mines
Center → Level 3 Mines + the Smelter, the most valuable building

Scattered across the map are Mine Patrols, NPC units that drop Frostfire XP for skill upgrades.

Frostfire Skills

The Frostfire Skill Tree boosts your performance in the event.

There are two main playstyles:

Defensive → Green + Blue path
Aggressive → Red + Blue path

⚠️ Important: You cannot reset your skill choices, so pick carefully.

Best skill path for beginners:

Right → Right → Left → Left → Right

This path quickly unlocks the first three skills, giving you a better start before mining.

Do I lose troops during the event? +

No. Frostfire Mine is a safe PvP event—your troops won’t die, and you cannot attack other players’ cities. All battles happen inside the event map.

What are the different types of Veins? +

There are 5 types of mining spots:

✅ Lv 1 Veins – Outer ring, weak guards, low yield, 8,640 capacity
✅ Lv 2 Veins – Middle ring, stronger guards, 17,280 capacity
✅ Lv 3 Veins – Center, highly contested, 34,560 capacity
✅ Outburst Veins – Appear randomly after 8/9/10 and 18/19/20 mins, fast mining
✅ The Smelter – Main building at the center, grants huge ranking points

What are Outburst Veins and when do they appear? +

Outburst Veins are temporary veins that spawn randomly at the 8/9/10 and 18/19/20-minute marks. A banner appears 60s and 10s before they spawn. They have only 4,000 capacity but a very high extraction speed (+200/s), making them ideal for quick points.

What is the Smelter and why is it important? +

The Smelter is the central building that opens at 7:30 minutes remaining. Holding it grants massive ranking points, but it’s always contested by the strongest players. The top 10 players earn Smelter points based on occupation time, with 1st place earning 100,000 points.

How do I upgrade Frostfire Skills? +

You earn Frostfire XP by defeating Mine Patrols scattered across the map. Level 1 Patrols give 75 XP, Level 2 give 150 XP. You need a total of 5,400 XP to unlock all skills. Choose your skill path carefully (Defensive or Aggressive), as you cannot reset it.

What’s the best strategy for low power players? +

Focus on Lv 1 and Lv 2 Veins in less crowded areas. Spend the first minutes farming Mine Patrols to unlock skills. Use Outburst Veins to catch up in points. Avoid the Smelter—it’s too risky unless you can sneak in during chaos.

How do high power players dominate the event? +

High power players rush Lv 3 Veins, farm Outbursts for extra points, and contest the Smelter in the final phase. They also benefit from extra marches and buffs (attack, defense, march speed) to maintain multiple occupied spots at once.

What rewards can I earn from Frostfire Mine? +

Rewards include Orichalcum, avatar frames, charm designs, charm guides, gems, and other resources. The higher your ranking, the better the rewards. Top Smelter rankings give the biggest point boost to secure first place.

Final Thoughts

The Frostfire Mine is fast-paced, strategic, and rewarding. You don’t need to be the strongest player to earn great rewards—smart timing, efficient mining, and tactical teleports can outscore stronger opponents.

Adapt your playstyle, plan ahead, and you’ll climb the leaderboard with ease.
