Quarry

Quarry is a Legendary enchant for Diamond Pickaxe pickaxes. Each time you break a stone or ore block, it has a chance to break the blocks around it in a flat 3x3 layer as well.

How to get it#

Quarry comes from the Legendary rune, which costs 120,000 XP in the enchant shop. The Legendary rune pool in Skyblock holds five enchants and each one is equally likely, so a Legendary rune gives Quarry 1 time in 5. Quarry is not on any crate gear.

The book comes with an unknown level between I and V. Lower levels are more likely than higher ones (see the table below) and the book's success chance is random between 1% and 100%. See Runes and Enchanted Books for the full process.

Effect#

1. You break a mining block (a stone type or an ore) with a Quarry pickaxe in your main hand.
2. Quarry rolls its chance for that block.
3. On success, every mining block in the 3x3 layer around the block you broke is broken too, at the same height. That is up to 8 extra blocks, diagonals included.

The area is the same at every level and the level only changes the chance. Blocks in the area that are not mining blocks, such as dirt, and empty spaces are left alone.

The extra blocks:

• cost no durability;
• do not trigger Quarry or Tunnel again and give no Experience bonus;
• drop their items normally, so Collector, Furnace, Riches and Cashout handle them like any other mined block, and ores among them can trigger War Cache;
• are only broken where you are allowed to build.

Levels#

Notes and tips#

• Quarry and Tunnel roll separately, so both can fire on the same block.
• Pair Quarry with Collector so the drops of the whole area go straight into your inventory, or with Cashout to sell them as they break.
• Quarry only reacts to blocks you break yourself with the pickaxe; it never chains from blocks that another enchant broke.
