Mining

Summary

Players can harvest Ore using a Pickaxe. To lessen the strain of mining, players can use Smart Harvest by double-clicking a Pickaxe, then targeting themselves to search all nearby nodes. There is a random chance to harvest colored ore if the player meets the material's skill requirement.

Please note that mining within town regions will yield 50% less ore.

Base chances for players to discover colored ores are as follows:

• 

  Regular Ore: 82%
• Dull Copper Ore: 4.0%
• Shadow Iron Ore: 3.5%
• Copper Ore: 3.0.%
• Bronze Ore: 2.5%
• Gold Ore: 2.0%
• Agapite Ore: 1.5%
• Verite Ore: 1.0%
• Valorite Ore: 0.5%
• Avarite Ore: 0.25%

"Every swing, not node, you have a chance to get colored ore. The colored pickaxe increases your chance. The avarite, if exceptional and master crafted,

would give you the highest possible chance for colored ore at your level, as it also helps determine colored chance."
