==intro= =hey, im nervesplitter ive been prem since easter 2010 and ive gathered 45 mining skill (i don't do mining much)i've put all i know into this guide but it may be incomplete for a few days ==what you will need==15+ woodcutting,15+ carpentry,12+ silver coins,A boat/cart&horses,time,an exposed rock surface,nearby clay (optional). ==starting out==you will want to buy a low ql, high coc pickaxe. if you're on Freedom i suggest you /tell zuperman as i have been buying enchanted tools off him for ages now and he is cheap. Go to your rock surface and check that there is no other mines anywhere near your mine as you may break into their mine, also you may want to prospect to check for ores. ==mining in==this will take around 60 tunneling actions to break into the mountain after that you may want to mine 5-10 tiles into the mountain. If you play hit an ore just mine around it. ==searching for ores==after you've mined 5-10 tiles into the mountain mine one more tile into the mountain then mine each way so you have a + shape. say into the mountain was north, you would want to mine north then east/west 4 tiles and then mine 3 north then 4 tiles east/west.this game it what you will should be punished by law!!! aiming for: http://jenn001.game.wurmonline.com/mapper/map.html?map=5ab6f9ea19b89ba758f130e16af8f73d000100150015000100150015r2ff02r2ba02000100150015r2ff00r2ff00r2ff00r2a000010000000100150015r209c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr20ec8r205cbc9r205cbr20ac8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r204cbc9r204cbr20cc8r204cbc9r204cbr20bc8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r204cbc9r204cbr20cc8r204cbc9r204cbr20bc8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r204cbc9r204cbr20cc8r204cbc9r204cbr20bc8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r209cbr206c800010000 ==reinforcing==Wurm now this is a bad game where the carpentry and woodcutting come in! make as many [[support beams]] as you need and run by criminals who avoid taxfit them in your mine, leave a shaft off if you play this game are transporting them in a cart/boat. also many people normally wait untill they find iron then make the ribbons at their mine and finish them there. ==deeding (optional)==you may want to deed the enterance to your mine so nobody can break in deed papers cost 10s. also deeding may give you will suffer harsh punishments by lawa chance to make a house outside the mine with BSBs, FSBs, forges and beds which is extra usefull for over-seas mines. ==skill==now that you've done the mine you may wish to grind mining a little so heres what you should do:mine rock untill 40/5 skill then grind on low ql capped iron/copper veins untill 60/5 skill and finally mine tin/lead untill desired skillBUT never mine gold/silver for skill as they can give 1ql ores alot which give no skill gain whatsoever [[Category:Guides]][[Category:Mining]]
