The Mining gathering skill alllows you to mine ore and stone. Stone is used in stonemasonry while ore is used with Blacksmithing. Anyone can take up the skill of Mining as it is a trainable skill regardless of class.

**Finding Ore or Stone
**To mine stone or ore you must first find where the resources are located. This can be done with use of the World > Resources screen, visit this screen then click on either the ore or stone button on the right of the screen to have it display a list of resources in the immediate area you have enough skill to gather.
If nothing shows up try using the white arrow buttons to move the displayed area around, if you have recently learnt the skill or your skill is not very high you may find you have to recall back to Springlade (31, 59) and then use the screen so that you find the lowest skill requirement resource there are.
Once you have found a resource on the resources screen click on it to travel to its location. The resource will show up in the bottom right corner of the game window.
Formula
Skill Required = (Resource Material Level * 5)
i.e. To gather a level 5 resource you need 25 skill (5 * 5).
There are no skill gains from using the World > Resources screen, the skill gains for this skill come from the act of mining which is explained later on.
Gathering the Resource
To gather the resource on a tile, click on the ore or stone icon that is visible in the bottom right corner of the game window. If you do not see a stone or ore icon you are either in the wrong spot or the resource has not yet respawned.
As with all of the gathering skills you will need a tool, in this case a pickaxe, if you do not have any suitable tool you will be shown a screen which lists all of the tools that can be used to fulfill the requirement.
Once you meet the requirements you can try again and it will take you straight to the actual gathering screen.
The gathering screen contains relevant information relating to the resource you are trying to gather. Such as:
There are two buttons below this information.
Both buttons give experience and both buttons use the queue system. It is recommended you use the first button unless you are in a hurry and need resources over skill gains and experience.
Use the Inventory > Queue screen to receive your resource and experience when the time is up.
Once all the resources have been used up it will take up to five minutes for them to respawn again.
