Mining
Mining is a Gathering Profession skill that allows players to extract crafting materials from ore veins located throughout Story Mode or through Profession Quests in World Mode with the use of a pickaxe Tool.
Mechanics
To mine from an ore vein, players must have a Mining level that meets its minimum requirements, as well as possess a pickaxe tool of sufficient quality in their inventory. If both conditions are met when the player right clicks and selects the "Mine" option on an ore vein, a timer is elapsed to depict the mining attempt. Upon completion, the result and any item yields are displayed in the notification log.
Both tool quality (type of Pickaxe used) and Mining level directly affects the success rate, yield quantity, and yield quality of each mining attempt.
