Runes of Magic was released out of beta in March of 2009. The free mmorpg game has received good traffic and excellent player exodus from paid mmorpgs like World of Warcraft to be account holders. While characters have the ability to level any gathering or production professions as they like, only a few can reach top status.The game even has the ability to dual class. In the gathering professions currently available, players can choose from herbalism, mining, and woodcutting. These are good to get items to sell on the Auction House or use for materials in production professions.

Characters who mine will extract ore out of nodes. They are marked by the mineral symbol on your mini-map. When the player comes upon them in the world they have a glittery glow to them. Ore stacks in mounds of 100. To take the raw ore and make it useable, go to a Blacksmiting station and click on the “smelting” tab in your skills. After you have purchased recipes from a Mining trainer you can refine the ore into many different things.

Each type of ore takes a specific level of skill before you are able to mine it out.
