Mining

Gold can be found in several places around the map. Gold ore rocks are dark grey with visible gold veins running through them. Nuggets are usually scattered on the ground around these ore rocks as well. Players can collect nuggets lying on the ground without needing to use a pickaxe.

Gold nuggets can be sold at the bank. To mine the ore rocks you will need a pick axe, which can be purchased from general stores. Players can use a gold map in game that will temporarily show gold locations, or external maps that show gold locations.

Nuggets come in large and small sizes, price at (as of Mid Nov 2017) 15c for a small nugget and 75c for large. To mine a gold ore rock, equip your pickaxe then position your crosshair over the rock until the mining icon is displayed. Hold the use key down to perform the mining action. Mining will wear our your pickaxe, so you will need to regularly replace these. Miners can be a target of outlaws, as the player is vulnerable whilst mining, especially if positioned where they cannot see other players approaching. Players who are killed while carrying gold will loose all their gold (which can be looted by the killing player), but they will not lose any other items. Once a player has gold in their inventory, the player displays a gold pouch to alert other players that they are carrying gold.
