Check three things before mining.

  1. The rules.Find the official rules and see which client modifications are allowed. Check trading and combat restrictions.
  2. The starting mine and sell point.Locate the area you can access now, learn how its resources are sold and check what your inventory can hold.
  3. The next rank.Check its price and what it unlocks. Give your first session a goal you can measure.

Make a plan for your first balance.

Compare your next rank with the upgrades available to you. If a tool is expensive, read what it actually does and ask whether you can use it at your current stage.

Try one ordinary mining-and-selling trip. That gives you a baseline for your own play speed. Do not assume a creator's late-game tool or a boosted event represents your starting income.

Example, not a server price: If the next rank costs 10,000 and you earn about 1,000 per trip, you have a rough ten-trip target. Spending 4,000 on an upgrade is useful only if its benefit is worth delaying that rank.

Know which currency you are spending.

Custom servers can use multiple balances for tools, ranks, shops or rewards. Read the currency shown in a menu before confirming a purchase. Check whether an upgrade uses both a currency and another requirement.

If a guide and the live menu disagree, ask staff which is current. Keep notes on the systems you actually use instead of trying to understand every late-game menu at once.

Protect items you want to keep.

Learn where you can safely store tools and resources. If you rent a cell, check how long the rent lasts, how to renew it and who has permission to enter or use storage.

Read unfamiliar commands before using them. Disposal systems, trades and prestige confirmations may be irreversible. Ask a question before experimenting with your best gear.

Explore one extra activity.

Once mining, selling and ranking make sense, try something else the server offers. You might browse player shops, look at a quest or read an event's entry requirements.

When playing with friends, agree on the same mode and learn the group rules before sharing valuables. Ask how permissions work rather than assuming trust settings match another server.

Leave yourself a useful next step.

Before logging off, note your next rank target, your current balance and one question you still need to answer. Check any storage renewals and upcoming reset announcements.

For TitanMC, use the server profile and official wiki. For a different server, use that team's own current instructions.
