Mining
Mining
Mining is a gathering skill that allows players to extract ores from rocks scattered throughout the world. Ores can be smelted into bars at a furnace, which are then used in Smithing to create weapons and armor.
Getting Started
To begin mining, you'll need a pickaxe equipped in your hotbar. Approach a rock and tap on it to start mining. Your success chance depends on the rock type, your Mining level, and the quality of your pickaxe.
