Drill mining is similar to pick mining, but requires the use of the [[Drill Arm]], a [[crafting]]-only weapon. Taking the time and effort to put together this weapon may be worth it; it is more efficient than using picks and is less tiresome.
Drill mining has the same effect as Pick mining - you roll the same '''strike check.''' However, using a drill is significantly less expensive in effort spent: one strike burns '''5 ntri''' and '''3 wtr'''; roughly one third of the cost of one strike when pick mining.
