Mining

You can mine for various Ore Types and Gemstones.

Steps

Mining

• If you have a pickaxe (available from the blacksmith), you can venture into the mine and MINE. Sometimes you'll find some ore, other times you won't. If you're pulling a handcart, the ore will automatically fall into it.
• If you're lucky enough to get any gems, those can be sold directly to the market or used in Gemcutting to attempt to increase their value. Chunks of ore can either be sold or smelted into bars (for more riln)

Smelting

• Find a furnace (available at the blacksmith). PUT ORE IN FURNACE.
• PULL BELLOWS.
• Wait until the furnace has cooled down and retrieve your bars.
• Bars of different metal types can be combined to create new alloys, such as bronze, pewter, brass and steel.

Metallurgy

• Combining common metals in the furnace can create new metal types.
• Specific formulas can be discovered in game.

Notes

You can smelt things other than ore - like iron lockboxes. But it takes more than one lockbox to make a bar, and if you don't provide enough raw material, you will lose the inputs.

You can put multiple chunks of ore into the furnace at the same time.
