The Mining skill allows players to harvest Ore from nodes using a Pickaxe. It features an automatic Smart Harvest system, enabling players to mine all nearby nodes with a single action. There is a chance to obtain colored ore based on the player's skill level, and using colored pickaxes improves mining success.
