# Mining

## Mining on Souls of Elysium <a href="#mining_on_souls_of_elysium" id="mining_on_souls_of_elysium"></a>

**Souls of Elysium** provides a new and interactive mining system allowing players to interact with ore nodes in the world, and craft powerful items!

### Mining Pick <a href="#mining_pick" id="mining_pick"></a>

* Obtained from any tool shop for 1500 gold pieces, or by completing [Gilion's Quest](/soe-wiki/gameplay/mining/gilions-quests.md) on top of a mountain in Kazordoon (farms area).
* You can take the Magic Carpet from Darashia to get dropped extremely close.
* Simply right click the pickaxe, and left click the first copper ore you come across to use it.
* *Note: Once you've completed Gilion's Quest, you'll be able to directly right click on the ores to mine them.*

### Ore <a href="#ore" id="ore"></a>

* There are a variety of different tiers of ores you can mine!
* Occasionally there are large ore rocks, with 2-4x the amount of ore nodes!

### Where do I mine? <a href="#where_do_i_mine" id="where_do_i_mine"></a>

* Ore rocks are most commonly found out in the world.
* The higher tier the ore, the more dangerous a place it may be hiding.
* Copper ore can be found in plenty of areas accessible to New Players.
* Minotaur Tower
* Tombs in darashia/ankrahmun desert
* Femur Hills
* Many other places!

<figure><img src="/files/CB779XE6da6IZ1FaVu5Q" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* In addition to the veins you can find out in the world, there are infinite ore mines.
* Progression in the mining skill is slower, but the nodes can be mined infinitely.
* There are currently three mines, located in Kazordoon, Hellgate and Narnia.
* [Kazordoon Mine](/soe-wiki/gameplay/mining/kazordoon-mine.md) (Coper, Iron ores)
* [Hellgate Mine](/soe-wiki/gameplay/mining/hellgate-mine.md) (Coal, Gold and Mithril ores)
* [Narnia Mine](/soe-wiki/gameplay/mining/hellgate-mine.md) (Coal, Adamant and Runite ores)

### Upgrading Pickaxe <a href="#upgrading_pickaxe" id="upgrading_pickaxe"></a>

* Your pickaxe can be upgraded at a crafting station.
* Each upgrade will increase the number of times a node is mined before having to click again.
* Increased chance of receiving more than one ore.

### Mining Pests <a href="#mining_pests" id="mining_pests"></a>

* Mining pests can spawn when mining nodes. The better the ore vein is the stronger the pest is.
* They can drop fossils and coal when killed.
