Mining

From OberinWiki

Mining is the skill associated with gathering ore (Ferrite). Successes are gained by successfully gathering Ferrite. To mine, you need a Mining Axe. Ferrite is afterwards melted into Ingots, in the Blacksmithing profession.

At skill level 3, Mining can yield also yield Pieces of Coal. At skill level 4, you will at very rare times extract Crystals. Crystals seem to be 1% or less of the yield.

[edit] In Lerilin

A tip for those in Lerilin who want to go Mining: follow the path west from Lerilin, out of the main gate. This path will pass a few different rock formations, the first being just outside the gate, the second being near the fork to Brigobaen, and third being at the bridge. This area is almost completely clear of beasts. Note that if you cross the bridge, things start to become more dangerous.

Many players mine the huge rock formation southwest of Lerilin, but as this contains the Ant Cave, hostile Forager Ants often surround it. At the southwestern tip, even Green Sludge Beasts will appear. The occasional Bracken has been known to show too. If you are Mining in that area, be prepared to fight, or possibly run.
