regal crater
crimson glacier
Platform: PC (Xbox Gamepass)
Issue: It seems I'm getting more coal and stone from mining than anything else which is making it difficult to gather the new resources In Storybook Vale. On multiple occasions, on 5 hit nodes, I've been getting 5 coal and nothing else. Coal is probably the least resource most of us need. Also, it seems coal is almost always the last item dropped from a node, yeah I don't want that bonus. Because of this mining is the least pleasant activity to do in the game.

In Storybook Vale, it seems easier to get Shiny gems instead of normal ones. For example, in trying to find a single Ruby for a Duty, I've so far gotten three Shiny Rubies, which do not count for the Duty.
limpid sentinel
STATUES SHADOW
Mining marble not counting towards collection (new spawns of broken pillar) after clearing all the original ones.
plucky blaze
Switch
Since Hades quest started I haven't been able to find any magma. Before I had build his house, I have found a few shiny magma and 3 three normal ones.
I already tried an enchanted pickaxe and an additional mining buddy.

Magma seems to have drop rate like gems but required quantities in crafting are more like marble or ice or other common materials.
Since several updates ago, pickaxe potions no longer guarantee gems of any kind, only bonus drops. So more of nothing is still nothing.

Issue: I am getting mostly coal from mining even when using a potion. It's making it hard to get resources. Sometimes I get nothing but coal.
lavish gust
Platform: Switch
All rocks on valley have emeralds in them and cannot mine them

hushed radish
Platform: Switch Issue: I keep getting stuck in the mines when I go with a mining buddy, for me it's Beast. I get stuck every single time and have to close the game and jump back in. Need to mine for potion making!!! FYI I don't get stuck when I go on my own
hushed radish
Platform: Switch Issues: I keep getting coals, and only coals. I potion up on my pick ax and buddied up as well, and I got tons and tons of coal, and only coal. It hurts me to my core, ngl.

Hi I'm really really upset right now 😕, I reported to gameloft a while ago saying after I downloaded the new dlc my dreamlight is gone! I had 65,000!, they still haven't replied to my message 😭 it's annoying because I spent ages saving up that dreamlight!

Platform: PC
Issue: I keep getting stuck at mining nodes in Vitalis mines. Appears to be the same issue with getting stuck collecting flowers under the bridge in the Binding. My character is unable to move and the camera view becomes strange.

This is an issue on Switch for me as well. Was happening “infrequently” (once every 2-3 rounds in the mines), now it is happening every 2-3 nodes.
