Mining, or ore collecting, in Runes of Magic is one of three gathering professions in the game.

There are but three gathering professions as of May 2009 in Runes of Magic. Those gathering professions are woodcutting, herbalism, and mining. With mining, the character will go around in search of ore nodes that will glow and show up as a chunk of ore on the minimap.

Gathering Ore in Runes of Magic

While questing or doing mob attacks there may be glowing or glittery mounds of rock that are ore nodes. The character will find and go up to the node and use a mining pick (this does not take up inventory space in their backpack) to mine out the ore.

Left clicking the mouse will start the character to mine out the ore. There is always a small chance of failure. The player can keep mining for as long as the node remains and will disappear once the ore is all mined out. This ore is used in things like Blacksmithing. These will stack in amounts of 100.

RoM Ores
There are 15 ores that are currently in the game of Runes of Magic as of May of 2009. These are ores and their required proficiency level needed to mine them from the nodes.

Mining in Runes of Magic
After there are stacks of ore in the backpack, the player may want to process it into bars. This process is called smelting and a Blacksmithing station will need to be used to smelt raw ore into things. Find smelting in the skill interface and click it.

If there is enough of the raw ingredients available to make what is needed, for example ingots or nuggets, the interface will inform the player how many can be made. There will be a craft button that can be altered to make 1, the maximum, or any number of items using the “-“ and the “+”.

Making Gold with Ore Gathering
Using mining in Runes of Magic to earn gold can be done by working the Auction House. Boost up the backpack with ore and then check at the Auction house to see where the cash is. This can be nuggets or ingots. Mostly the gold is going to be made by making ingots.

The player can then head to the Blacksmithing stations and smelt as many nuggets and ingots as possible, before going back to put the goods up for sale at the Auction House, and wait for the cash to come in.

Mining is a big money maker in the game of Runes of Magic, due to the ingots being needed by other players that do not skill up their mining ability. Creating all these nuggets and ingots will increase both the bank and the skill levels of the player.
