Dig In I

After showing you the basics of mining, Cid offers a few last tips before turning the pickaxe over to you. First, he reminds you that if you find an indication that you’re onto something, it’s best to take your next shot above, below, to the left, or to the right. Veins don’t run in diagonals. He also mentions that if you have bombs, you should be very careful using them. They’re very powerful, and they’re also very hard to replenish.

Cid thinks you’re ready now. He wants you to bring him a hunk of esperium as soon as you find one. That’s a good first test of your mining skills.
