Mining & Blacksmithing

These rules emphasize the role of luck and skill in the mining and smelting process. The quality of the ore found in the deposit will depend on luck, while the player's efficiency and success in smelting will depend on their skills and equipment. This creates a dynamic and challenging game experience that rewards players for their skills, investments, and strategies.

• Ore deposits: Ore deposits are scattered throughout the game world and can be found during exploration. The quality of the ore found in the deposit will depend on the quality of the deposit, with higher-quality deposits yielding higher-quality ore.
• Mining exhaustion: Ore deposits will become depleted over time at a constant rate, and will need to be replenished by discovering new deposits. The player's efficiency and speed when mining will depend on the quality and level of their tools.
• Ore ownership: Ore deposits may be claimed by players or land lords, and other players may need to pay a fee or taxes to extract ore from the deposit.
• Safety: Mining can be dangerous, and players will need to take precautions to avoid rival players or monsters when mining, especially in unowned territories.
• Smelting: Smelting the extracted ore into refined metal requires high blacksmithing skills and the right equipment. The success and efficiency of smelting will depend on the player's blacksmithing skills and the quality and level of their equipment.
