Mining
Mining is one of the profession skills your character can use to improve your gameplay. As with all other skills, all characters start out with the Mining skill of 10. To start mining, simply use your pick in the available spots of the game to have a chance to get its minerals. You can find those spots scattered all over the map.

Blue Shrine Stone Small Sapphire, Astral Fragment 30m-2hrs
Red Shrine Stone Small Ruby, Molten Fragment 30m-2hrs

Formula

Same as fishing, the base chance of sucessfuly break the mine spot is 10% and increases 0.597% per mining skill after 10, reaching up max to 50% at skill 77 and beyond. After breaking the mine spot, you can get or not its materials, depending on your chance (same as looting). The chance to mine the minerals is affected by both mining skill and the used pick.
