How to use

Blacksmiths stock 50 Pickaxes. Use a Pickaxe or suitable mining tool on accessible mining ground. Treasure digging requires at least 70.0 Mining: read the map, target its marked point with the Shovel in your backpack and stand within two tiles. Make 3–4 separate digs at least 2 seconds apart to fully uncover the chest; do not stand on the tile where the chest will emerge. You can dig for treasure while mounted. This digging neither requires nor consumes ordinary mining uses on the Shovel; normal mining rules are unchanged.

Volantis-specific rules

A brief puff of dust and small stone chips appear as the pickaxe strikes rock. The eastern Minoc mine is outside guard protection; smelt the ore you collect to obtain ingots.

How do I raise it?

Active skills can be used from 0.0. Recipes and special abilities retain their own skill requirements; Teacher training is optional. Skill gain chance after a valid completed use %70; a successful gain adds 0.1 points.

1. Use a Pickaxe or another suitable mining tool and target an accessible ore source. Wait for the mining attempt to finish.
2. Move to another spot when the vein is exhausted. Higher skill lets you mine suitable colored ores; mining ore and smelting ingots are separate actions.
3. Dust and small stone chips appear as the pickaxe strikes rock. Follow the system message for the mining result.
4. Treasure digging requires at least 70.0 Mining and a Shovel in your backpack; this threshold is not a requirement for starting ordinary ore gathering.

Progress and Real Skill Value

Set the skill lock to increase. The individual skill cap is 100 and the total cap is 700; when the total is full, set another skill to decrease. Learning is rolled independently for every valid use, so gains are not guaranteed on every attempt unless the chance is 100%. Skill gain is disabled in designated safe areas.

The Skills screen shows your real skill value. Eligible skills below 30 can be trained by the Teacher; further progress comes from valid actions for that skill. A stat lock does not lock skill gain.
