Prospecting

Prospecting is a gathering profession that involves mining ore from deposits and using the gathered materials to create metal bars and ingots.

To be able to mine you need to have a pick axe in your inventory (you are given a Tarnished Copper Pick Axe in an early quest and these others work too: Miner's Best Friend, Rusted Iron Pickaxe and Iron Pick Axe but they don't increase speed and work just as the beginner axe), and double-click on ore deposits. The starter-level minerals Copper Ore and Coal can easily be found in the Othalo Mine and Nidaros Mines, as well as other places.

Creating metal bars at a forge and ingots at an ore mill are also a part of the Prospecting profession. Bars can then be used in Weaponsmithing and Armorsmithing, and the ingots in Jewelry.
