Mining

The Mining skill has a chance to be increased when mining the following blocks:


 * 1) Stone
 * 2) Diorite
 * 3) Granite
 * 4) Andesite


 * Mining gives additional loot drops from mining any of these stones (Stone, Diorite, Granite, and Andesite). Loot that can be attained through this method includes:
 * Coal
 * Coal Ore
 * Iron Ore
 * Gold Ore
 * Redstone Dust
 * Redstone Ore
 * Lapis Lazuli
 * Lapis Lazuli Ore
 * Diamond
 * Diamond Ore
 * Emerald Ore


 * Mining DOES NOT give the player a message whenever they receive a drop. For example, if the player receives a diamond from mining stone, they will NOT receive a notification about the drop in chat.
 * There are no special effects attached to Mining every 25 threshold levels. However, as the player's Mining level increases, the rarer item drop rates are increased as well. (View Table 1 for thresholds). The percentage for the drops are listed in the table for the indicated Mining level.
