====== Mining, Lumberjacking and Skinning ======
\\

===== Harvest Banks =====

Mining and lumberjacking are handled via "harvest banks". Every harvest bank is filled with a dice rolled resource. \\
For Skinning, the hides type are rolled when first selecting/targeting the corpse with a skinning knife.
==== Chances ====
Depending on the region where the crafter is located, the dice roll chances are as following:
=== Level 1 on every Dungeon ===
| Iron Ore/Logs | 40.0% |
| Shadow Ore/Logs | 30.0% |
| Copper Ore/Logs | 21.6% |
| Bronze Ore/Logs | 4.2% |
| Verite Ore/Logs | 2.8% |
| Valorite Ore/Logs | 1.4% |


=== Level 2 on every Dungeon ===
| Iron Ore/Logs | 25.0% |
| Shadow Ore/Logs | 33.0% |
| Copper Ore/Logs | 30.2% |
| Bronze Ore/Logs | 5.9% |
| Verite Ore/Logs | 3.9% |
| Valorite Ore/Logs | 2.0% |


=== Level 3 on every Dungeon ===
| Iron Ore/Logs | 10.0% |
| Shadow Ore/Logs | 31.0% |
| Copper Ore/Logs | 42.5% |
| Bronze Ore/Logs | 8.3% |
| Verite Ore/Logs | 5.5% |
| Valorite Ore/Logs | 2.7% |


=== Everywhere else ===
| Iron Ore/Logs | 75.0% |
| Shadow Ore/Logs | 15.0% |
| Copper Ore/Logs | 9.3% |
| Bronze Ore/Logs | 0.4% |
| Verite Ore/Logs | 0.2% |
| Valorite Ore/Logs | 0.1% |


**Mining/Lumberjacking only:**\\
Additionally on every mine attempt a 50%/50% chance is given to aquire the resource type of the vein or, in dungeons, the fallback resource which is one type below the vein type. So if a player gets a Bronze mining vein, he will get (on average) 50% copper and 50% bronze ore out of it. \\ Outside of dungeons, the fallback resource is always iron.

==== Skill check ====
Also on every mine attempt, a skill check has to be passed to get resources (against the resource type - what defines the min and max skill for the skill check - see the table below). Here the resource type of the used tool provides a bonus (a valorite pickaxe gives 25% mining skill bonus as an example)
^ Type       ^ Min Required ^ SkillCheckMin ^ SkillCheckMax ^
| Regular    | 0.0          | 0.0           | 100.0         |
| Shadow     | 60.0         | 30.0          | 110.0         |
| Copper     | 80.0         | 35.0          | 115.0         |
| Bronze     | 100.0        | 40.0          | 120.0         |
| Verite     | 110.0        | 45.0          | 125.0         |
| Valorite   | 120.0        | 50.0          | 130.0         |

==== Harvest bank upgrades ====
Luck can upgrade a harvest bank to the next better resource.  The more luck a player has, the higher the chances that a harvest bank will upgraded to a higher resource. With 100 luck, the player has the doubled chance to upgrade the vein (relative to the chance the resource he tries to update to has). 

//Example: The player mines the first time on a fresh spot and gets a shadow vein. The chance for copper in a dungeon level 2 is 30.2%. So with 100 luck he has a 60.4% chance to upgrade the vein to copper. With 10 luck, he has a 6.4% chance to get the upgraded vein. This upgrade possibility is only given when the vein gets filled (so on the first mine attempt - not on every single mine attempt on an existing vein.)//

===== Combat Damage Bonuses =====

For gathering skills, a few weapon types benefit from their associated gathering profession. All damage increases are calculated as an additive bonus.
