Mining

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 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
