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
