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.

Pickaxes

Higher-tier pickaxes improve mining success and shorten the delay between swings. A pickaxe can be used from your inventory or toolbelt once you meet its Mining requirement.
