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
- 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
