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.

• Mining within town regions will yield 50% less ore
• Every swing, not node, has a chance to uncover colored ore
  • Colored pickaxes increases the chance of success
  • An Avarite Pickaxe, if exceptional and master crafted, would give the highest possible chance for colored ore at a player's current level, as it also helps determine colored chance

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

• Iron 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%
