The Abandoned Ruins #1 is one of the two Abandoned Ruins available from the start of My Time at Portia, the other being Abandoned Ruins #2, the larger ruin further up the hill, near the Civil Corps. Abandoned Ruins #1 is located at the base of the hill the Church of the Light rests on, behind A&G Construction and to the west of Peach Plaza. To the left of the ruin is the path up the hill to the Church of the Light, and to its right is the Cemetary and the road that leads to the Civil Corps, Abandoned Ruins #2, Dr. Xu's Clinic, and more.
The interior of the ruin is fairly dark, so wearing a Miner's Hat to provide light can be beneficial.
Fees[]
An entrance fee is charged to access the ruin, and the week-long period for each pass starts on the day of purchase.
At the start of the game, the player is only charged an entrance fee of 80
for the first week. After the first week, the regular entrance fee of 200 is charged to unlock the ruin for another full week. Once an entrance pass is bought, the entrance pass's expiration date will be added to the calendar. On the morning that the pass expires, an alert in the bottom left corner of the screen will let the player know that it expired.
The console
The Abandoned Ruins #1 can be reset at the console outside the entrance to allow new areas to be excavated. When resetting a ruin, the interior of the ruin is entirely re-randomized and new stone, ore, and items spawn. The reset fee of 20 is charged every time the player chooses to reset the ruins. All ruins can be reset infinitely, with no cap on the amount of times they can be reset. Additionally, this console is where the Relic Scanner can be upgraded, once the ability to upgrade it has been unlocked.
Ores[]
Three different colored stone and ore patches can be found inside the Abandoned Ruins #1. The materials and other items that the player can obtain while quarrying these patches are listed in the table below. Note that the items dropped while quarrying cannot be detected by the Relic Scanner.
