Mineraux

Minerals are large chunks of valuable material that are used to construct new gates for use in exploring the Clockworks.

Obtaining Minerals

Large crystal deposits containing chunks of mineral appropriate for collection can be found throughout the Clockworks. Once located, these deposits can be smashed by any weapon to produce a mineral piece small enough to be carried on a knight's back. A knight can carry one such mineral chunk at a time and it will be safely deposited into one's Arsenal once the level has been completed by going up or down on the elevator at the end. Not only that, but if there are multiple knights in a party, all the knights will receive the same number of minerals collected by the party. That means if the party gets one medium and one large mineral, everyone gets 6 minerals. Adventuring in a party has its benefits!

Mineral Types

There are five types of mineral that are commonly found in the Clockworks, each associated with a particular color and type of power. Using different combinations of mineral in gate construction will produce wildly different sets of levels, so experiment!

Crimsonite

A fabled mineral of a fiery, red color said to contain the passion, anger and strength of the life surrounding it. Small pieces of Crimsonite called Red Shards are used in crafting.

Moonstone

A fabled mineral of a brilliant, blue color said to contain the knowledge and origins of all worlds. Small pieces of Moonstone called Blue Shards are used in crafting.

Valestone

A fabled mineral of a vibrant green color said to contain the essence of all natural life. Small pieces of Valestone called Green Shards are used in crafting.

Luminite

A fabled mineral of a radiant, golden color said to contain the faith, wisdom, and zeal of the life surrounding it. Small pieces of Luminite called Light Shards are used in crafting.

Dark Matter

A fabled mineral dark and ominous in color said to contain the essences of both chaos and nothingness. Small pieces of Dark Matter called Dark Shards are used in crafting.
