# Unlocking ISLANDs ISLANDs are locations where you can mine resources and earn profits from owning Monkey NFTs. To start mining, players need to unlock ISLANDs by using the mExp gained from purchasing Monkeys and participating in in-game activities. ISLAND Attributes: * Daily Mining Time: Each piece of LAND has a limited mining time per day, for example, 16 hours/day, 20 hours/day, or even up to 24 hours/day for special ISLANDs. * mExp Requirement to Unlock: To unlock each ISLAND, players must accumulate the required amount of mExp. Each ISLAND has different mExp thresholds, from low to high. Examples of LAND: * ISLAND 1 (16 hours/day): Requires 200 mExp to unlock. * ISLAND 2 (20 hours/day): Requires 500 mExp to unlock. * ISLAND 3 (24 hours/day): Requires 1000 mExp to unlock. Unlocking higher LANDs with longer mining times allows players to mine more resources each day, optimizing their profits. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
