Mining

Mining ore is the primary way of obtaining metal. The best place to start is to buy a T1 pickaxe from the blacksmith for 50 SP. This pickaxe can be upgraded later to a T2 pickaxe.

Piles of T1 ore can be found in Sanctuary. To mine them simply search for a glowing spot on the pile and hit it with your pickaxe. This process remains the same for higher T2 and T3 ore.

Tip: ore can be mined with any melee tool, but with far less efficiency.

Sometimes when mining a purple gather shot will appear in the place of a white one. When this spot is struck double damage is done to the ore and you will gain 1 CP.
