Mining

Mining point drops by zone. Chance shows the per-swing probability of obtaining each item. Tool: Pickaxe.

Mining lets you extract ores, stones, and minerals from designated mining points found in caves, mountains, and underground areas. Equip a Pickaxe and target a mining point (a glowing vein on the ground or wall) to swing at it. Each swing has a chance to break the pickaxe, and each point disappears after a set number of successful swings. Mining points respawn on a timer. The drops you receive are random, weighted by the zone you are in. Many ores and stones obtained from mining are key ingredients for Smithing, Goldsmithing, and Alchemy recipes.
