Throne and Libertyis all about getting the resources players need to progress further and faster with their chosen build, andminingis a great way to get valuable resources to craft equipment, weapons, andcomponents to upgrade their gear. So, learning about mining is crucial to reach the maximum level in the game.
This full guide covers pretty much everything players need to know about Mining inThrone and Liberty,from how to gather ores, to which kind of Veins and Ores they can find and what they can do with them. So grab a pickaxe, and follow me.
How To Mine In Throne And Liberty
Mining inThrone and Libertyis pretty easy, as with gathering, it all comes down to detecting resources and pressing the ‘Interact Key’ once players find them. But first things first, let’s see how to detectOre Veinsin theminimap:
Once a Vein is spotted, it’s time to mine it by getting near and pressing ‘F’ (PC)/‘Square’(PS)/ ‘X’ (Xbox). The character will channel for a few seconds and extract theOres.
Keep in mind that Ores are automatically added to the inventory. This means players do not need to do anything besides interacting with the Vein. Just verify the inventory has enough space to hold the resources, or they will be lost.
Types Of Veins, Ores, and Weather Effects
Resource nodes like Veins not only come intypesandsizesbut also vary in quality and quantity of resource yield. For example: a regularMoonstone Veinwill yield a fewPure Manasteel OreandPure Gold Ore, but aGigantinc Moonstone Veinwill grant more and will have a chance forgreenorbluematerials to drop as well, or higher quality base materials.
It is also important to mention that weather can alter the resources granted by nodes, and that includes Veins. Mining while the climate isRainycould yield some rare resources likePrecious Pure Gold. Veins that areenhanced by the weather effectswill often display a characteristic ‘Glow’ or ‘Sparkling Effect.’
It is also important to say that some Veins, like the Moonstone, might react differently to the cycles of Day and Night. Each cycle lasts 5 hours in real-time, so players might want to try farming ores at different times of day, and under different weather effects to make the most out of the Mining mechanic.
Finally, every mined material can later be taken to one of the crafters for processing. TheWeapons crafterin every major city canrefinelesser materials into better quality ones, (white to green, green to blue, etc) at a cost of gold and a fair amount of the base material. Players can do the same in theAccessories craftersfor Ores like Pure Gold used to craftRingsandNecklaces.
Try to invest in mobility Items andleveling up the Ground Morphto reach resource nodes faster, and prevent other players from ‘stealing’ them.
Gathering Ores And What To Use Them For
Different areas have access to different resource nodes, but smacking Veins is not the only way to Gather Ores. Generally speaking, these raw materials can come from almost every source:
And of course, Ore Veins, which are the staple source for these items. Now, time to figure out what they are used for:Crafting, every piece of equipment in the game can be crafted using refined Ores and other materials. WhileManasteelis often used to craft weapons,Goldis used to craft Jewelry.
So the best advice isnot to hoardtoo much on the lesser quality materials unless players are looking to completea certain piece of their ‘Lithography’which requires Regular (white) items to complete the collections and receive the rewards.
Materials alsostack at 99of each, meaning that players need to either refine, use or deposit in theWarehouse,less they want their inventories overcrowded with chips of minerals.
Players can scout their surroundings from a cliff and morph into their flight forms, then quickly descend on the mining spots. That way they can optimize their farming routes before others spot the Veins.
Best Areas For Mining And Special Events
Generally speaking, players will find even more resources in higher-level areas than in the areas near Kastleton. The best places to mine different kinds of ores are the following:
These have large concentrations of Moonstone, and Gigantic Moonstone Veins, while Marind Veins can be found in the more advanced areas like Fonos Basin and Black Anvil. But, there’s a safe way to farm lots of this precious material early in the game (around level 20), and that isby riding the Gigantrite.
This special event happens once in a while near theStarlight Observatory Ruins,and players need to wait in the tallest part of the ruin until the giant flying whale is close, then glide on its back and start mining, because there will be loads of Marind Veins which grant green, blue, and even purple resources that sell for hundreds of thousands.
This is one of the best chances players have to get the precious materials, and if they miss the event, they shouldn’t worry too much, because it happens every 2 hours. That is 12 times per day: they just need to pay attention to the global warming that says “Gigantrite is arriving at X location.”
