Mining

 is a Gathering skill which allows a character to gather ores from ore nodes around the world. Ore is used for Smelting.

To mine an ore node you need to get near it and press the interact key (Default: F). This starts an animation that can be stopped by taking damage, moving or performing a skill. Gathering from any node costs 10 PP. Gathering a node will give you 3-5 of the respective item for that node.

All six ore nodes have a chance of giving the player Titan's Ember, Titan's Ease, Titan's Truce, and Titan's Temper along with the normal material acquired from the node. You also have a chance of receiving when mining any of the other five nodes. can not be bought, sold, or traded. Therefore you must gather it for your own use.
