Mining

The Mining skill allows players to harvest Ore from nodes using a Pickaxe. It features an automatic Smart Harvest system, enabling players to mine all nearby nodes with a single action. There is a chance to obtain colored ore based on the player's skill level, and using colored pickaxes improves mining success.

Mechanics

• 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 you don't have the required skill to mine the ore color of the current node, you will find the highest color or you can mine instead
• 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
