Overview
Mining harvests ores, stones, and gems from veins, feeding Blacksmithing, Smelting, and Jewelcrafting alike.
Getting Started
Miner Falmud trains the skill at the Sojourner’s Camp in Night Harbor, where a nearby miner sells the required Mining Pick and an optional Mining Pouch, and buys back excess ore, stone, and gems. Buy your pick, then right-click a node to start. Copper Veins cluster around Night Harbor’s West and North Gates, with Shaded Dunes and Evershade Weald also worth checking; tougher nodes like Limestone Deposits show up later in Fallen Pass, Sungreet Strand, and Scarwood.
Materials & Tiers
Every ore vein has a matching “Rich” variant that requires a slightly higher skill floor but keeps producing skill-ups to a higher ceiling. Tiers run Copper → Limestone → Tin → Silver → Iron → Gold → Coal → Platinum → Mithril, feeding Smelting, Stone Cutting, and Jewelcrafting respectively.
Leveling Tips
Work a vein until you stop getting skill-ups, then move to its Rich variant before jumping to the next tier — Rich nodes extend your mining window without requiring a location change. Sell excess ore back to Miner Falmud if you’re not using it yourself.
Pairs With
Smelting — refines Mining’s ore into bars.
Stone Cutting — works the stone and gem finds.
Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting — the end consumers of bars, stones, and gems.
Gathering Nodes by Tier
