Mining

Mining is a talent that allows the player gather ores and gems, used in armor and Harmony crafting.

Gaining experience[]

Experience may be gained when the player successfully mines for ores. Experience gain is directly proportional to amount of ores mined.

You can mine at mining spots which are marked with pickaxe on minimap, and if you really loving mining, you can mine rocks too.

In mining spot you can use: /scan to scan for ore veins. Each ore will have a distinct color to them. Then you go over vein and use: /mine

It is currently extremely important to create a separate mining character or to dedicate all your talent points towards expert skill Critical Eye which you can unlock at lvl 25 mining if you don't spend any points. The Quest All That Glitters Is Gold is required for new characters to unlock Critical Eye early on which increases your experience rate and amount of ores mined by 6x in the long run. Note: currently even if you reach mining lvl 50 , but you didn't unlock any Critical Eye upgrades your amount of ores will be the same. The equipment gear's speed will not help with the amount mined per ore vein and rocks.

Always remember to equip your pickaxe, mattock or chisel in your mouth to not mine with your bare hooves. Equip your mining ability from your basic abilities tab in your journal. Mattocks increase the mining speed but risk destroying the ore, useful for rocks. Chisels mine slower, but significantly increase the amount of ores and chances for artifacts, gemstones and rare ores. Chisels are required to extract gemstones from Corundum.

Mining Updates[]

The /mine action is available as a hotkey ability.

You can also scan or mine by putting a dowsing crystal (scanning device) and a pickaxe in the skillbar by dragging and dropping. Dowsing Crystals and all varieties of pickaxes can be purchased from Resonance.

A pickaxe, chisel or mattock is not needed for mining, but it increases the mining speed, the higher the level of the pickaxe; the greater the speed.
