Mining
Mining is part of the class skill set of a Crafter
A shovel or pickaxe is required to use the skill.
Skill efficiency
This skill allows the player to obtain three types of resources: sand, ore and clay.
Magic properties:
Magic properties affect weapons and armor in different ways.
In addition, the power of a magical property depends on the quality of the item: Common, Exceptional, or Perfect.
Armor carries a protective effect. Magic properties of Armor will increase your protection when worn.
Weapons carry a martial effect. Weapons of common quality won’t have any additional bonus.
If the weapon is of exceptional quality, the weapon will allow you to cast spells.
If the weapon is of perfect quality, the weapon will have increased speed and deal additional magic damage with the element provided by a specific ore.
Resources
How to obtain sand
Sand can be found on the shores of Britain.
After smelting the sand, the character receives glass.
The Tinkering skill allows you to craft glass items like potion bottles and others.

Ways of leveling your skill
Mining is difficult to train. Only a Miner NPC can sell you a tool necessary to train the skill (Pickaxe). We strongly recommend training the skill until 90 in the Newbie-friendly initial location.
