Mining is a Gathering Skill used to collect ores on the overworld and in beacon dungeons.
How to Mine
Mining requires a Pickaxe to be equipped in the Toolbag.
To mine:
- Stand next to and click-and-hold an ore node to start a charging animation with sound.
- Once the animation is at its peak, release the mouse button to gather the resource.
OR
- stand next to and click the ore. Your character will strike the node 3x to break it
Note: multiple items can be dropped from 1 Mining node.

Mining Locations
Ore nodes are typically scattered all over the zones. Early ores cluster around Virelda Outskirts, Seabreeze Pass and Needlepoint. Advanced ores tend to be found at Hollow Rock and Farpoint zones.
- Overworld: All Gathering nodes share spawns, and cluster in set locations on the overworld. Re-spawn times vary; players are advised to start checking for new nodes after 20 minutes from last gathering.
- Beacon Dungeon: Gathering nodes are randomized per each dungeon floor. If you leave the floor, the nodes are lost for that dungeon run. New nodes spawn every run.
Mining Events
Mining Events regularly occur in Soulbound, allowing players to increase this Skill in both cooperative and competitive ways.
Example:
- Lonely Hearts Club for Valentine's Day Event
