=====Mining on Souls of Elysium======

**Souls of Elysium** provides a new and interactive mining system. 
At start, you'll need to find a proper Pickaxe to mine through the ores you'll find all around the lands of Souls Of Elysium.

Mining is main way of getting material needed for equipment upgrades, it will also provide you with options to craft basic equipment (both on Rookgaard and Mainland), and earn some additional profit.

====Mining Pick====
Obtained from any tool's shop for 1500 gold pieces, or by completing [[gilion_quest|Gilion's Quest]] on top of a mountain in Kazordoon (farms area).

Let's go mining. At the start you only have access to copper ore.

Simply right click the pickaxe, and left click the ore.

This can take several attempts, giving you small stones or nothing if you fail. But keep at it, eventually you will get an ore.

//Note: Once you've completed [[gilion_quest|Gilion's Quest]], you'll be able to directly right click on the ores to mine them.//

====Ore types====

There are different tiers of ores you can mine, based on what mining level you have.
Ore Types breakdown:
^ Ore Type      ^ Mining skill       ^
| Copper ore     | 10     |
| Iron ore       | 20 |

Well, you can find them anywhere and everywhere. The higher tier the ore, the more dangerous a place it may be hiding. Copper ore can be found in plenty of areas accessible to newer players, such as minotaur tower, darashia/ankrahmun desert, or femur hills. Just to name a few.

==== Upgrading Pickaxe ====

The pickaxe can be upgraded at a crafting station. Each upgrade will increase the number of times a node is mined before having to click again. In addition, there is a chance of receiving more than one ore.

^ Pickaxe ^ Bars ^ Raw Resources ^ Mining ticks ^ Chance of additional ore ^
| {{:mining:copper_pickaxe.png}} Copper | 100 Copper Bars | 200 Copper Ore, 100 Coal | 2  | 1/8 = 12.5% |
