Mines are constructed on ore veins to extract Iron, Copper, and Tin, as well as various Gems. Ore veins are discovered using the Dowsing skill with a Dowsing Rod. Working the mine will produce ore upon success, and occasionally yield a gem of a set type.

Operation

To work a mine, you must learn the skill Ore Extraction from the School of Architecture. To further increase your yield per mining attempt, you may learn the second level of ore extraction (7 tin ore, 7 copper ore, 7 iron ore). Each mine type has a different method of operation in order to properly extract the ore.

Iron

To extract iron ore, click on the mismatched color crystal. Success yields 3 at Ore Extraction levels 1 and 2.

Copper

Copper ore is extracted by clicking on the crystal with the highest color saturation (i.e. the "least gray").

Tin

See discussion on tin mine theories.
