Mining

Mining is one of the most important skills in Runeblox. This is generally the first skill players decide to level, as they spawn in with a bronze pickaxe when they first join. There are many different ores to mine, such as Copper, Tin, and Iron. Copper and Tin do not require a mining level, therefore they can be mined immediately and smithed into a bronze bar, however iron requires level 15 Mining. Currently iron ores provide the best experience rates.

How to mine
Players can mine by clicking a vein with a pickaxe either equipped or in the inventory. There are 2 ways to mine: One is by either storing or smithing ores, and the other is powermining, which is using Shift+drop(can be turned on via the Settings tab) in order to quickly drop ores in the inventory and focus on experience gain.

Although there are only 3 ores and 2 metals so far available, there are still pickaxes for each ore. The Bronze pickaxe and the Iron pickaxe, are obtainable, however the Mithril pickaxe, Adamant pickaxe, Rune pickaxe, and Dragon pickaxe can only be obtained from admins (Who are happy to give them out to players with the correct mining level to use them). Right now, Mithril pickaxes or higher have no icon in the inventory, simply appearing as a a red circle with the word "No Icon" in the middle. They do have a model when you wield them however, which is just a handle and a pick recoloured to whatever is necessary.
