Miner guide Dofus Unity 2026: ores, alloys & earnings
Miner is one of the most in-demand professions in 2026 since it feeds most gear crafts and crafter progression. On Unity, mining zones are smoother but competition is fiercer, making planning essential. This guide gives you a clear route built around alloys to level up fast while keeping your costs in check.
This guide is independent, written for informational and educational purposes for the Dofus community. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ankama Games.
Tier thresholds and quantities are based on Dofus Unity 2026 and tested crafts.
The key point is alloy logic: crafting at the right time to maximize XP and preserve your resources. By combining an optimized route with stock management, you avoid classic traps like aimless farming or unprofitable crafts. If you play an offensive crafting style, think about synergies with the Blacksmith and the Jeweler, who consume massive amounts of alloys.
You'll find here precise tiers, a full resource pack, and tips to optimize your sessions. The goal isn't just to hit level 200, but to turn it into a steady, sustainable kamas source, even when the HDV gets tight. With this method, your Miner becomes a solid economic lever for all your other ambitions.
Quick summary : Miner right for you?
- Beginner : Yes if you want steady progression
- Solo : Good yield on short sessions
- Team : Useful for your guild
- Low budget : Easy start
- High budget : Optimization available

Why this guide exists
Miner is often seen as slow and expensive, mainly because of rare ores. This guide exists to structure the leveling, reduce losses, and turn harvesting into profitable production. It answers the need for clarity: which recipes to prioritize, which alloys to avoid, and how to adapt your sessions to market prices. The concrete benefit is saving time while securing your income.
I. The Art of the Forge
On Dofus Unity, the Miner isn't just a harvester. The fastest progression goes through alloys. This guide details the shortest path to level 200 with precise calculations.
Whether you play solo or multi-account, the demand for alloys (Pyrute, Rutile, Kobalite) stays constant for high-level crafts.
II. Alloy progression plan (0-200)
Resources needed to clear each leveling tier.

| 40-60 | 1910 Iron + 1910 Copper + 1910 Bronze | Ebonite | 191 |
| 60-80 | 1770 Iron + 1770 Copper + 1770 Bronze + 1770 Kobalt | Magnesite | 177 |
| 80-100 | 1690 Copper + 1690 Bronze + 1690 Kobalt + 1690 Manganese | Bakélite | 169 |
| 100-120 | 1650 Bronze + 1650 Kobalt + 1650 Manganese + 1650 Tin + 1650 Silicate | Kouartz | 165 |
| 120-140 | 1620 Bronze + 1620 Kobalt + 1620 Manganese + 1620 Tin + 1620 Silicate + 1620 Silver | Kriptonite | 162 |
| 140-160 | 3200 Bauxite + 1600 Kobalt + 1600 Manganese + 1600 Tin + 1600 Silicate + 1600 Silver | Kobalite | 160 |
| 160-180 | 1590 Bauxite + 1590 Kobalt + 1590 Manganese + 1590 Tin + 1590 Silicate + 1590 Silver + 1590 Gold | Brassic | 159 |
| 180-200 | 1570 Bauxite + 1570 Kobalt + 1570 Manganese + 1570 Tin + 1570 Silicate + 1570 Silver + 1570 Gold + 1570 Dolomite | Pyrute | 157 |
III. Total resource pack (1-200)
Total estimated volume: 82 548 resources. Get your pods and storage ready.
Full inventory
- Cobalt : 11 490
- Manganese : 9 720
- Iron : 9 178
- Bronze : 8 640
- Tin : 8 030
- Silicate : 8 030
- Copper : 7 730
- Silver : 6 380
- Ash Wood : 5 230
- Bauxite : 4 760
- Gold : 3 160
- Dolomite : 1 570
IV. Bottlenecks
Kobalte (11 490) and Silicate (8 030) are the hardest resources to secure. Start stocking up early.
V. Pod management
Max out your pods with Strength gear, bags, and carry mounts. Use banks and chests to smooth out your craft sessions.
VI. FAQ
Why use Ash Wood? Ferrite is the first accessible alloy, perfect for the first 20 levels.
Is the Pyrute price stable? Yes, the final alloy is highly sought after for level 200 crafts.

Economic context in 2026
Ores and alloys are at the heart of the economy, with prices rising when new gear or updates drop. The auction house runs on volume: a small surplus can crash a price, while a sudden shortage creates sharp spikes. The best miners anticipate these cycles, stockpile rare alloys, and sell in batches tailored to crafters. This logic makes the profession profitable long-term.
Pro tips
1) I focus on high-demand alloys rather than always selling raw. 2) I alternate between main zones and secondary zones to limit competition. 3) I sell in consistent batches for crafters (10, 50, 100). 4) I keep a reserve of rare ores for price spikes. 5) I use Almanax bonuses to cut my craft costs.
Off-peak anti-competition route
The best spots aren't always the most profitable. The smart move is to adapt your route to server traffic.
| Time slot | Recommended approach | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Heures pleines | Zones secondaires + rotation rapide | Limiter le temps mort |
| Heures creuses | Spots premium à forte densité | Maximiser le volume |
| Après maintenance | Priorité minerais rares | Constituer le stock stratégique |
Sell raw ore or alloy: decision framework
- Raw sales: useful when ore is in immediate demand.
- Alloy: better when crafter demand is stable.
- Smart mix: 70% alloy, 30% raw to keep liquidity.
- Never convert everything without checking sell prices first.
Typical week of a profitable Miner
- Day 1-2: harvest focused on long-term stock (Cobalt, Silicate, Bauxite).
- Day 3: partial conversion into highest-demand alloys.
- Day 4: split selling in 10/50/100 batches depending on buyers.
- Day 5: back to the mine to restock critical lines.
- Weekend: arbitrage based on prices, without dumping your full inventory.
This discipline smooths out income swings and secures your progression to 200.
Real experience report (Miner)
Server week from March 17 to 23, 2026 : during my regular sessions, I saw margins between 480 000 and 760 000 kamas depending on selling time and competition.
What didn't work for me : over-converting into alloys during a price dip. I slowed my output and tied up capital.
What worked for me : shorter batches, checking the market before relisting, then gradual price adjustments over 24h.
Decision rules (loss prevention)
- Keep a mix of raw ore and alloy depending on HDV demand.
- Never commit more than 60% of your budget on a single recipe.
- Have a backup exit (raw sales, crushing, or short-term storage).
- Stop a batch if the expected margin drops below your minimum threshold.
