TotK Miner Armor Set: Depths Mine Chests and Shining Steps Bonus
Where to find the Miner's Mask, Top and Trousers in Depths mines in Tears of the Kingdom, the Shining Steps set bonus, defense and every upgrade.
The Miner set lights up the Depths: each piece glows, and the full set leaves light where you walk, so you throw fewer Brightbloom Seeds. All three pieces are chests in Depths mines. For every set see all armor; the Bright dishes that make you glow for a while are on Bright recipes.
Where do you find each piece of the Miner set?
All three are chests in the Depths (positions from the game’s placement data), each marked by one of the Old Maps:
- Miner’s Mask — Abandoned Kara Kara Mine, under the Gerudo Desert.
- Miner’s Top — Daphnes Canyon Mine, under Central Hyrule.
- Miner’s Trousers — Hylia Canyon Mine, under Central Hyrule.

Upgrades are done at a Great Fairy Fountain, one star at a time, for rupees plus materials. The table is per piece; the whole set needs three times as much.
| ★ | Materials | Rupees |
|---|---|---|
| ★ | Brightbloom Seed ×10 | 10 |
| ★★ | Brightbloom Seed ×20, Brightcap ×5 | 50 |
| ★★★ | Giant Brightbloom Seed ×15, Glowing Cave Fish ×5, Deep Firefly ×10 | 200 |
| ★★★★ | Giant Brightbloom Seed ×20, Diamond ×3, Large Zonaite ×10 | 500 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
Brightbloom Seeds grow in caves and wells; Large Zonaite comes from Zonaite Deposits in the Depths. For the other Depths set, with Gloom protection, see the Depths set; the rest of the upgrade tables are on armor upgrade materials.
