Mining

Mining ore in Alpha-1 early preview.

Mining is a Gathering profession in Ashes of Creation.

• Mining requires a mining pick.
• Ownership of a mine is not a game mechanic, however players may attempt to monopolise a resource via PvP.
• Resources will not simply respawn in the same place after some delay. Once depleted, resources will randomly respawn elsewhere in the world.
