About
- •Uncommon cave mineral found exclusively in deep underground cavern systems
- •Can be sold to vendors for decent silver value — secondary income while farming diamonds
- •Used in specialized equipment crafting and refinement materials
- •Most efficiently farmed at Hernand Highlands Cavern where diamond and stalactite nodes overlap
- •Requires a pickaxe to gather — glows on cave walls when nodes are ready to harvest
- •Also yields small amounts of copper alongside the primary stalactite drop
Gathering Guide
- •Head to Hernand Highlands Cavern — south of Hernand City, near Howling Hill
- •Enter the cavern at the cliff base pit; follow narrow winding walls down

- •Average run produces 5-8 stalactites plus extra silver from diamond output
