# Miner

## Introduction

<figure><img src="/files/iHoN0ZGA84KekcEk1qes" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

First we mine... then we mine some more, we stay down here because it's full of untold riches. Mining is the most simple, yet fun, form of employment - and children have some sort of evolutionary instinct to venture forth into the caves. Skill development for miners will see you improving techniques to more efficiently extract Mother Earth of everything she's worth. &#x20;

### Making Money as a Miner

There's not much to understand here - go into the caves and find rare gems and ores. Traders and [Chunjie](/economy/traders.md) like the shiny stuff and will buy it off you, the same goes for players really.&#x20;
