Mining money is a late-game method: players say you need HotM 7+ and a lot of powder, and that farming earns similar money for less investment. With perfect Topaz and Jade in Armor of Divan and a decent DR-X655, one player says 20m coins/hr is possible; another puts mining at 30-60m/hr. The outdated wiki guide lists Opal at 20-30m and Quartz at 30-40m/hr.
