intro
hey, im nervesplitter ive been prem since easter 2010 and ive gathered 45 mining skill (i don't do mining much) i've put all i know into this guide but it may be incomplete for a few days
what you will need
15+ woodcutting, 15+ carpentry, 12+ silver coins, A boat/cart&horses, time, an exposed rock surface, nearby clay (optional).
starting out
you will want to buy a low ql, high coc pickaxe. if you're on Freedom i suggest you /tell zuperman as i have been buying enchanted tools off him for ages now and he is cheap. Go to your rock surface and check that there is no other mines anywhere near your mine as you may break into their mine, also you may want to prospect to check for ores.
mining in
this will take around 60 tunneling actions to break into the mountain after that you may want to mine 5-10 tiles into the mountain. If you hit an ore just mine around it.
searching for ores
after you've mined 5-10 tiles into the mountain mine one more tile into the mountain then mine each way so you have a + shape. say into the mountain was north, you would want to mine north then east/west 4 tiles and then mine 3 north then 4 tiles east/west.this it what you should be aiming for: http://jenn001.game.wurmonline.com/mapper/map.html?map=5ab6f9ea19b89ba758f130e16af8f73d000100150015000100150015r2ff02r2ba02000100150015r2ff00r2ff00r2ff00r2a000010000000100150015r209c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr212c8cbc9cbr20ec8r205cbc9r205cbr20ac8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r204cbc9r204cbr20cc8r204cbc9r204cbr20bc8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r204cbc9r204cbr20cc8r204cbc9r204cbr20bc8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r204cbc9r204cbr20cc8r204cbc9r204cbr20bc8cbr209c9cbr20bc8r209cbr206c800010000
reinforcing
now this is where the carpentry and woodcutting come in! make as many support beams as you need and fit them in your mine, leave a shaft off if you are transporting them in a cart/boat. also many people normally wait untill they find iron then make the ribbons at their mine and finish them there.
deeding (optional)
you may want to deed the enterance to your mine so nobody can break in deed papers cost 10s. also deeding may give you a chance to make a house outside the mine with BSBs, FSBs, forges and beds which is extra usefull for over-seas mines.
skill
now that you've done the mine you may wish to grind mining a little so heres what you should do: mine rock untill 40/5 skill then grind on low ql capped iron/copper veins untill 60/5 skill and finally mine tin/lead untill desired skill BUT never mine gold/silver for skill as they can give 1ql ores alot which give no skill gain whatsoever
