Mining is an new activity introduced after the completion of the Canbodian adventures. Mining is a potentially rewarding endeavour in which one mines the deep underdark of Canbodia in search of rare ore. This rare ore can then be used to 'trade' stat points from one stat to the other, ultimately allowing for fine-tuning of fighting builds that were impossible before.

Besides the fighting aspect, there are also a number of uses for Hobalt relating to Rings and odd pawnable rewards.

Mechanisms

Mining is quite simple; once one has stepped into the mines, much like adventure exploring, you move upto a wall. Attempting to move into the wall opens up the mining interface, in which the wall is displayed along with your tools. Simply click on the tool you want to use and click on the spots on the wall on which you wish to mine; you should click to place all your moves or use the auto-mine feature. By using tools other than the pickaxe, such as the one-shot explosive tools, you will uncover more dirt than you did before.

By mining on the off-coloured marks on the wall, you will find ores and gain mining stat points. There are other chances to gain mining stats, such as rescuing a player trapped by a cave-in and other random bonuses granting walking around the mine. As you continue to strike the wall, the integrity of the wall will fall until it collapses from your efforts, leaving any unharvested ore out of reach. This will allow you to rescue other players and travel to the depths of the mines.

Equipment

In order to begin mining, all one requires is a Pickaxe; the other items simply prevent injury and provide more moves and bonuses, giving you more strikes per T and thus greater yields. The explosive items are consumed immediately after use and clears more space than the pickaxe will.

The higher order explosives use more than one move, but their explosive yield is quite impressive.

Ore Types

All ore can be traded at a net 'profit' for stats; ores of unwanted colours can be traded at a rate of 5:3 for the colour of your choice at the Miner's Depot at the Mine Entrance.
