Can anyone give me some insight in this challenge? I'm using:

- Ring of whispers (equipped)

- Pickaxe of eart and song (equipped)

- dwarven ramhammer (activated on double damage in inventory)

- crystal skillchompa (inventory)

- Overload (active)

- Berserker aura (active)

- Lava titan (spawned)

And i'm mining tin as to not get any hardness penalty.

Is it just really RNG based or is it that I can't hit that much on a tin rock due to the cap being at 100%?

If you're using a pick of earth and song, you don't get a hardness penalty on any rock. Hardness penalty only applies when mining a rock which is higher level than the pickaxe you're using.

That said mining tin doesn't make you do less damage so it isn't reducing. You need to get lucky with a crit and rockertunity at the same time.
