Profession Guide

Mining

Work quarry sites, unlock custom ores and discover archaeological finds while you level.

Overview

Mining focuses on access and discovery rather than huge yield bonuses. Levels unlock custom resources and rare finds, while XP is based on the block you mine rather than the number of drops.

Custom Ores

Levels unlock new custom resources, while each mine controls which ores can actually appear there.

Rare Finds

Quarry filler blocks have a fixed 0.15% chance to reveal a collectible. Level adds discoveries to the pool but does not increase the chance.

Rare finds are collectible discovery content rather than a raw-resource multiplier.

Progression

Mining progression is mainly about access to new resources and discoveries rather than abundance multipliers.

Mining XP

XP comes from the source block itself. Fortune-style effects do not multiply profession XP.
