Mining
Mining
Mining can be an easy way to earn gold when starting out or a decent income for veteran players. With the combination of **Luke’s Helping Hand buff**, **Dawnsdrop gear**, **family buffs**, and **statue buffs**, you can reach around **42,000 Mining proficiency** quite easily even as a beginner.
If you can’t join a high-level family right away, don’t worry — it’s only about **5,000 proficiency** you’re missing. The reason all these buffs are listed is because once you reach **50,000 Mining proficiency (with buffs)**, you can begin mining **Anya Pebbles**, which sell for a good amount on the Auction House (press **"P"** by default).
You can burn labor very quickly mining Anya Pebbles, or you can mine smaller amounts and refine them into **Anya Ingots**, which sell for even more but require much more labor to produce.
Getting Started
- Begin by mining *dig sites*.
- West (Nuia): Excavation Site in Dewstone Plains.
- East (Haranya)**: Halo Hollow in Solis Headlands.
- East (Haranya): Glitterstone Mine in Ynystere (Ynystere is a conflict zone which means there can be PvP combat from both west and east players)
- Sell your ores and ingots to build up starting gold.
- Once you have enough gold, buy a pair of **Dawnsdrop Fists** (if you haven’t already).
* The mining speed bonus applies regardless of item level. * Higher-tier Dawnsdrop fists will bring you closer to efficiently farming Anya Pebbles.
Progression
- **0-50k Mining**: Focus on ores from dig sites, sell raw materials or craft ingots.
- **50k+ Mining (with buffs)**: Continue farming and investing in better Dawnsdrop fists.
- **50k+ Mining (with buffs)**: Start farming **Anya Pebbles** for steady profit.
Tips
- Always check Auction House (**P**) to see whether raw ores or refined ingots are selling for more profit.
- Mining consumes labor quickly — plan your sessions around labor regen or potions.
- Joining a **family** and stacking buffs will accelerate your mining progression.
- Invest in Dawnsdrop fists as soon as possible for faster mining speed and faster progression towards mining anya.
- If you have the option to use some of your guildies land to use their miner's farmhouse drills i'd highly recommend it as single mining ores can be tiresome.
