Miner
Fancy having a go at mining? Well, here you go, dig to your heart's content! Alternatively, you can take a look at Prospecting and Quarry Worker. They offer alternative methods to level up your Mining and Strength skills.
Contents
Getting Started
There are two mining locations to choose from. Originally only the Davis Quartz quarry was available for mining. An update to the mining skill added a secondary location in the Great Chaparral mineshaft. This new location has significantly better experience rates than regular quarry mining.
Davis Quartz Quarry
- To start Mining go to the Specialized Job marker at the Quarry on the East side of the map.
- Go to the orange job selector marker and select Miner.
- Go down into the Quarry and go to a circle that fits your miner level.
- Walk into the circle and press E.
- You will begin to mine the rock and miner mode will be activated. You can sit back and watch your character mine.
- Take the Sandstone to the Sandstone Collector .
- Here you can exchange Sandstone for various other Trucking Cargos.
- You will also receive Mining and Strength experience.

Great Chaparral Mineshaft
The Great Chaparral Mineshaft is the second location where you can mine.
The mineshaft works slightly differently compared to the quarry. You will no longer see the colored markers. Instead you will find white markers in the mineshaft. These will either be Copper Veins or Iron Veins . The markers are unique to you (i.e. clientside). Another player can not steal your veins.
Copper Veins can be mined by anyone, while Iron Veins require at least level 50 Mining.
While mining these veins, you will be awarded with mining experience and Copper or Iron Ore. Be aware that these Ores can not be trashed, traded or put on the marketplace.
Once your inventory is full, run towards the exit and exchange your Ore for either Copper Ore Voucher or Iron Ore Voucher. This process will award some extra Player, Trucking and Strength experience. The vouchers can in their turn be exchanged for Raw Ore Mix at the Elysian Island Waste Deposit (see Trucking).
