Producing a pickaxe and rare resources

There are two main mined resources in Darkfall: rock and mental nodes. In order to mine any of these nodes, a player is required to produce a pickaxe. The way to wield a pickaxe works like this: walk up to the node, unsheathe the pickaxe using R, and left-click mouse while aiming at the node, and then any yield will go directly to a player’s backpack.
A player is allowed to build stone mines and metal mines in some clan cities and hamlets. The stuff from these nodes is higher than normal nodes. Some rare resources can be found here that are used to craft some of the premier items in Darkfall. Mining skills interact a player’s yield potential.
