I would ''Optimal Skill Gain'' * Rock: 1-50* [[Iron vein]]: 50-60* [[Copper vein]]: 60-70* [[Tin vein]], [[Zinc vein]], or [[Lead vein]]: 70-85* [[Silver vein]]: 90-99 For the best skill gain, you will want to fail to mine the ore sometimes; about 10-15 failures (1QL) is the best skill gain. If you fail more, improve your [[pickaxe]] or downgrade an ore difficulty. Note that if the tile is capped at a QL much lower than your skill you won't be able to check average QL of the pile of ore/shards to see whether or not recommend you start off mining have a decent success rate. The average QL of the pile is '''always''' based on gold or silveryour skill and not the tile itself, because and the tile QL is therefore irrelevant to skillgain. A wider range in upper QL based on skill will get lost when translated to the tile capped with lower QL so it will look like more top QL gains but in reality they would've been higher in QL if the tile was. For example: If you have 70 mining and you mine a QL32 rock tile and get 1xQL1 and 49xQL32 you don't actually get 49xHighest possible quality - the tile just doesn't go any higher so the ones that would've been in the range between 32-70 are very unlikely all translated down to 32 due to the cap. The skillgain from a QL32 and a QL70 rock tile is exactly the same. ''Note: Never mine gold for skill; it is a waste of materials and time. You have less than the optimal skill gain % chance to get any ore above ql -QL > 1/2 skill.00'' ''Note: You will need to adjust your pickaxe quality to stay at the line of optimal %chance success. Mining a ql 1.00 ore or shard gives no skillgain whatsoeverFor the most part, 20-30QL pickaxe will work for skill gain.''
→Mining Skill Tips: pasted in the mining tips from the mining wiki page. %0 skill mining is not the optimal time to start mining silver like this article said
To gain more [[mining]] skill, you will want a relatively low ql [[pickaxe]] with as much [[Circle of Cunning]] on it as possible. This will give a lot of skill if you mine [[rock shards]] with it, as it heightens the difficulty and the mine time. It is the mine time that improves the skill gain in mining: longer mine time = more skill. #
Mining rock shards is easier for a new player up to a decent skill level (20 - 30?up to 50), but from then on if you want to grind mining I would suggest mining on an [[ore]] [[vein]]. At around 30 Try to skill, mining [[iron vein|iron]] may be on the best option for you, but as you get up following veins according to around 40 or even 50 in mining, you should mine [[gold vein|gold]] or [[silver vein|silver]].your skill level;
You want to mine shards or ore about half of your actual skill, so say you have 50 mining, you want to be mining 25 ql rocks or ore. This means you have a 50% chance of mining a full ql (your mining skill) and failing (1 ql). Try to not mine capped walls lower than your skill.
