Seams of ore lie buried in the mines, mountains and caves of Britannia. The skilled miner seeks out these veins to harvest ore, which can then be smelted to ingots for use in crafting items with the Blacksmithy or Tinkering skills.

In order to mine you must use a Pickaxe or Shovel on a cave floor or mountainside tile. Ore may then be smelted by using it on a Forge or Fire Beetle. Be warned - If you fail to smelt you will lose 50% of the contents of your ore pile!

The mining skill is also useful when practising the creation of smeltable items (which can be recycled back into usable Ingots). It furthermore gives a bonus to Treasure Hunters looking for Treasure Chests underground.

As your skill improves, you become capable of mining and smelting more obscure forms of ore:

A GM Miner, after the proper research, may also extract High Quality Granite and Sand for use by the more experienced crafters.

Although your Mining skill cannot advance past 100 points through training, Mining Gloves may be worn to take your skill to an absolute maximum of 105. Mining is the only skill that can be advanced in this way without the use of a Power Scroll.

Human characters will get extra ore with each dig, while Elves have an increased chance of harvesting special ore types.

Training

  • 0 - 30: Train at NPC Miner.
  • 30 - 100: Mine up and smelt Ore.

You can gain faster by going after colored ores. To enhance gains even further, split colored piles and smelt 1 ore at a time. This is especially useful at very high levels of mining when ores are rarer.

Special Resources

At 100 Mining skill you have the chance to randomly retrieve one of the following resources.
