Mining

Skill details:

  • Rose Ore is hardest to find, Iron Ore the easiest. A miner with a high mining skill is more likely to find a colored ore vein than less skilled miner.
  • When a miner reaches the minimum required mining skill and is mining a colored ore vein he has a 50% chance of actually digging up the colored ore.
  • Over all a miner digs the same amount of ore on all spots, he only gets more or less colored ore depending on his skill.
  • Mining colored ore seems to improve skill a little faster than normal iron ore.
  • Smelting colored ore into ingots improves mining skill much faster than doing normal iron ore.

Skill usage:

The act of mining is using a pick axe or shovel to mine for iron or colored ores. To mine, simply double click on a digging tool and click on a cave floor or clock on a rocky surface found around the world.
Mining for Ore

Then goto the nearest town or mining house and stand next to the forge.
At the forge

To smelt the ore into ingots, simply double click on the ore and ingots will be created. If you fail some of the ore will be destoryed, keep trying until it's all converted to ingots.
