In the Frostfire mine event, the goal is to gather the highet amount of orichalcum possible. There are two primary ways to gather orichalcum: by gathering veins in level 1-3 areas and by occupying the smelter. However, we'll take a unique approach in this guide by focusing not only on orichalcum but also on maximizing your points through strategic gameplay.
Rather than rushing into the most crowded areas, stay in the outskirts of the battlefield (marked in red). These areas typically have fewer players which means more patrol guards to kill.
Your primary focus should be on using all your marches to defeat patrol guards. HP acquired from defeated guards will be used to unlock skills. Do not gather veins in the early stage of the game. Continue killing patrol guards until you unlock the third skill.
As you defeat patrol guards, you earn HP. Monitor the circular progress bar at the bottom left of your screen. It will notify you once you've reached enough HP to unlock skills. Be careful in activating skils, choosing the wrong one could jeopardize your chance of getting into the rankings.
Unlock the first skill in the right skill tree. This skill is pivotal as it rewards you with 1500 orichalcum each time you defeat a patrol guard.
Continue killing patrol guards!
Proceed to unlock the second skill in the right skill tree, which boosts your troops' marching speed by 25%
Continue killing patrol guards!
Continue eliminating patrol guards to unlock the third skill on the left side, which grants you 5000 orichalcum each time you occupy a vein. Remember that this skill is activated once per minute.
As there is no visual notification for this skill, rely on the event timer above the screen to determine whether one minute has passed. This way, you'll know when the 3rd skill is triggered.
To maximize this skill, occupy a vein every minute and recall it. This will instantly reward you with 5000 orichalcum which is one of the keys to racking up your orichalcum yield.
Continue killing patrol guards, but use one march every one minute to gather/recall in a vein or vein outburst.
Unlock the fourth skill on the left side, which provides a 15% gathering speed boost.
Continue killing patrol guards, but use one march every one minute to gather/recall in a vein or vein outburst.

(Based on skill left-right-left-left-right)
Capture soldiers near the starting point.
After capturing them all, move to a place where there are a certain number of soldiers and several gathering sites. (The gathering site level varies depending on the combat power.)
Keep gathering, and when soldiers are summoned, take out 2-3 units and capture the soldiers. Then continue gathering (This continues until the skill reaches level 5)
After reaching level 3 of the skill, summon troops from the gathering site right next to you every minute and send them back. (This continues until the end)
Check the eruption vein time well and have all units return, and collect as much as possible at this time.
Level 5 skill is not used when there is an eruption. (The same goes for ambiguous times. This is because the unit sent after using the skill will continue to collect at that speed even after the skill ends. It is better to use this skill by teleporting whenever the skill cooldown ends. It saves time for the troops to return.)
