Mining is a part of the gathering trade skills that allows players to gather Ores, Metals, and Gems from mining nodes. They are used in crafting trade skills like Furnishing, Cooking, Engineering, Smelting, Stonecutting, Armor Smithing, and Arcana.
Items Required
As a beginner, you will need a Flint Mining Pickaxe to mine the nodes. It requires level 0 Engineering with 1x Flint and 1x Greenwood. First, walk up to a bush/flint and press the interaction key, and once you obtain a tier-1 campfire or workshop, then craft the pickaxe.

How to locate mining nodes?
There are no specific zone restrictions related to mining nodes (similar to harvesting), so you can find about everything without having to worry about being in the wrong area or zone. A good suggestion to map out the best farming bath is utilizing the fan-based interactive map that is in trend nowadays for this New World Mining Guide.
How to level up mining?
It takes about 435,280 EXP to max out (level 200) your mining skill, and the general rule that you need to be mindful of is to mine the highest tier node available at your current level.
From level 1 to 50, you need a total of 13,873 EXP, and the best possible way to reach level 50 is by mining Iron and Silver Ores. From Level 50 to 100, you will need a total of 62,678 EXP, and the strategy is basically the same; however, you add a mix of Alchemy Stones in your gathering runs. From level 100 to 150, you need a total of 154,831 EXP.
You will now have access to mining Star Metals that have a base EXP rate of 4.3/sec, and with a gathering speed increase, you can increment the rate to 19/sec for New World Mining Leveling. Finally, for the last 50 levels (150 to 200), you will require a total EXP of 217,771, and the best way to level up is by putting your entire focus on Orichalcum.
