How to Use Mining
Mining allows players to extract ores and precious metals from veins scattered across the world.
Ore is essential for crafting professions like Blacksmithing and Tinkering. The higher the skill level, the more efficiently players can mine rare ores, such as valorite or verite, used to craft high-tier weapons and armor.

Smelting Metal Items
Smelting Items: Players with Grandmaster (100) Blacksmithing or Mining skill can smelt (recycle) an item and receive 90% of the materials used to craft it. If you do not have at least 100 blacksmithing or mining, you’ll receive 66% of the material used to create the item.
Smelting Magic Items: When you smelt a magic item as a Grandmaster blacksmith or miner, you have a chance of receiving extra ingots, including colored ingots.
Treasure Hunting
Mining provides a huge boost to treasure hunting, as it makes it easier to locate the chest without being on the exact tile.
