Description
- The Mining skill allows players to use a pickaxe to harvest ore from the sides of mountains and the floors of caves. Ore can then be smelted into ingots using forges found in towns, caves, or player houses. Ingots are a valuable resource used by Blacksmiths and Tinkerers.
Summary
Players can harvest Ore using a Pickaxe. Mining always uses Smart Harvest, by double clicking a pickaxe you automatically try to harvest all nearby nodes. There is a random chance to harvest colored ore if the player meets the material's skill requirement.
- Mining within town regions is blocked, except for Shelter Island with a young player status.
- Nodes are randomized when they respawn and have a chance to uncover colored ore
- Colored pickaxes increase the chance to mine ore successfully
- The chance for a node to be of a rarer color is not affected by other parameters
- If a player doesn't have the required effective skill to mine the ore color of the current node, each swing will default to Iron Ore instead
- A player's effective Mining skill adds their raw skill level, Harvest Aspect bonus (when activated on armor), and any Effective Harvesting Skill chain links
- When mining a colored ore node, each swing has a 50% chance to fallback to Iron Ore
- Whenever a player Recalls, Travels via Moongate, or Hikes, they will have a 60 second delay before they can attempt to Harvest again
- Same applies after teleporting or using an Adventurer's Rope
- Players will experience a "Stationary Penalty" after recalling or periods of inactivity that will prevent them from mining until they move more than 5 steps
