🔧 How to Mine

Mining requires a Pickaxe equipped in the Toolbag.

TIP: Higher-level Pickaxes can be used to mine lower-tier ore nodes.

There are two ways to mine:

Stand next to a node and click-and-hold to charge. Release at peak to mine.
Alternatively, click the node to automatically strike it 3 times and collect the resource.

Hint: One mining node may drop multiple items.

🗺️ Mining Locations & Respawn Timers

Ore nodes are present in all major zones.

Hint: Ore nodes share spawns. Leave and return to refresh the available types.

🌄 Overworld Dungeons

Early ores can be found in:

Virelda Outskirts
Seabreeze Pass → Needlepoint Pass → Everdune Ruin

Advanced ores appear in:

Hollow Rock
Clifftop Pass → Scorched Cave (part of the Farpoint cave system)

Tip: Node respawns vary. Check back every in-game day (≈ 3 hours real time).
