Mining

Mining is a gathering skill in Runic Ages that allows players to obtain ores, gems, rune essence and other resources through rocks. Mining's accompanying skill is Smithing.

Mechanics

To mine, players need a pickaxe and the required Mining level to use it.

Pickaxes

Pickaxes are the primary tool used in the Mining skill and must be equipped in the mainhand.

Picxaxe	Mining Level
Bronze Pickaxe	1
Iron Pickaxe	10

Rocks

Rocks are the primary object players interact with in the Mining skill and appear as single block-large boulders with ore veins protruding.

With a pickaxe in main-hand, players right-click on a rock to mine it. Success rate (and thus if the player receives ore) is dependent on both the player's Mining level and the pickaxe they wield.

While low-level ores such as copper guarantee near 100% success with each click, but higher-level ores may have reduced success chances if the player meets the Mining level requirement but does not have a high enough pickaxe.

Blocks

Ore blocks are an alternative source of ore obtainable through the Mining skill and their generation height can range from surface exposure to deepslate level. Unlike rocks, ore blocks are not renewable with the exception of Rune Essence Ore.
