Mining Guide
Mining is one of the five gathering professions in Ashes of Creation.
Miner's gather resources from the earth, such as ores and gems which are used by other professions to craft items.
It is important to mention that veins location are not fixed, they can spawn in different locations. This is a very positive feature of AoC, as it will prevent players from camping the same spot.
Remember that there are 22 professions, but you can only be a Grandmaster of 2.
With that in mind, it is important to choose wisely which professions you want to level up.

Power Leveling, Quantity and Quality
- Power Leveling is the term used to describe the process of leveling up a profession as fast as possible (XP gain).
- But leveling fast is not the only thing to consider in AoC. The quantity and quality of the resources you obtain are also important.
- There are items that can help you with the XP gain and speed but also with the quantity and quality (rarity) of the resources.
- The higher the quality of the resources, the better the items you can craft.
- The quantity of the resources is also important, as you will need a lot of them.
