'''Miner''' is the skill associated with both the '''mining''' [[labor]] and its associated profession. Miners are necessary to build any kind of [[fortress]] that is [[underground]] or involves [[stone]]. They are required to dig tunnels, [[channel]]s, [[stair]]s and [[ramp]]s, as well as remove said stairs and ramps. Miners require a [[pick]] to do any work. | '''Miner''' is the skill associated with both the '''mining''' [[labor]] and its associated profession.

− | Miners gain experience for every tile mined, which means they gain experience faster in easier-to-dig soil and slower in stone. Due to the constant demand, straightforward work and fast experience curve, miners level-up to [[skill|legendary skill]] faster than any other profession. Most players will have one or two legendary miners within thirty minutes of gameplay. | + | Miners gain experience for every tile mined, which means they gain experience faster in easier-to-dig soil and slower in stone.

Mining skill affects only the speed at which stone is mined, not the chance of acquiring resources from mining. Normal rocks and ore deposits drop an average of 1 boulder for every 4 squares mined; in compensation, one ore gives 4 bars of [[metal]]. Gem clusters drop rough [[gem]]s 100% of the time. | Mining skill affects only the speed at which stone is mined, not the chance of acquiring resources from mining.
