Mining

What is Mining?

Mining is one of the 4 gathering professions in Corepunk.

You can mine ores of various metals, crystals, nuggets, ancient fossils, etc.

Mining can be combined well with Weaponsmithing to craft weapons.

Sorry, can't hear what you're saying. This mining job is not very good for your ears. And eyes. And lungs. And teeth.
