Mining
About this skill
To start: take a pickaxe to the copper and tin rocks in the Eastern Mine, tap one and choose Mine. You start with a bronze pickaxe, and the Hearthford Sundries sells them for 18 coins.
Any pickaxe mines any rock you have the level for; better pickaxes just mine faster, and they ask for a Mining level to use. Copper and tin smelt together into bronze bars, the first step in Smithing.
