After Gemstone Powder, players aim for about 8m Mithril Powder. How much Glacite Powder you need depends on your goal: about 6m for gemstone mining, or 22-24m+ for mineshaft mining. One player suggests bombing the giant glacite cluster for Glacite Powder; looting corpses with keys is fast but often loses money.
