Mining & Colored Veins
Mining extracts raw iron and colored ores from mountain ridges and cavern floors:
- Equip a Pickaxe or Shovel, double-click the tool, and target rocky terrain.
- Each node yields a set number of ore chunks before depleting, replenishing after a regeneration timer.
- As your Mining skill increases, you unlock rare colored veins: Dull Copper (65), Shadow Iron (70), Copper (75), Bronze (80), Gold (85), Agapite (90), Verite (95), and Valorite (99).
Smelting Ingots & Safe Techniques
Smelting raw ore into ingots requires heat from a forge:
- Double-click ore, target a forge.
- Safe Smelting (Ore Splitting): Smelting large stacks of high-tier ore carries a risk of failure, which destroys half the stack! Veteran miners separate rare ores into stacks of 2 chunks. If a 2-chunk stack fails, you only lose 1 ore chunk instead of hundreds!
Lumberjacking Forests & Timber
Lumberjacking supplies wood for carpenters, fletchers, and archers:
- Equip a hatchet or battle axe, double-click, and target tree trunks.
- Produces ordinary wooden logs, kindling, and rare colored logs in deep forests.
- Axe Combat Bonus: Grandmaster lumberjacks gain a passive +35% damage bonus when using axes in melee combat!
Pack Animals & Logistics
Ore and timber are extremely heavy. Successful gatherers utilize pack animals:
- Purchase a Pack Horse or Pack Llama from town stables for ~500 gold.
- Pack animals carry up to 1,600 stones of raw ore or timber.
- Use the command `all follow me` to guide them, and `bank` to quickly unload your harvest into town vaults.
