Mining System

The cliffs of Forasia glitter with five elemental ores. By wearing a Mine Helm and wielding a Pick-Axe you can extract raw stones, refine them into Ingots, and climb from Rookie Prospector to Master Miner.

Smelter Workflow:

1. Talk to Smelter in Prontera with Mine Helm equipped.

2. Choose an Ingot type; the UI shows required ores and their point values.

3. Supply 9,000 total points of any mix for that element (e.g. 30 × Pure + 20 × Flawed).

4. Consume 2 Stamina Points and receive 1 Ingot.

Ingot Recipes at a Glance:

Ingot ID	Element	Points Needed	Example Cheap Mix
Aquastone Ingot	Water	9 000	60 × Flawed (75 pt ea)
Flamestone Ingot	Fire	9 000	30 × Pure (150 pt ea)
Dragonstone Ingot	Draconic	9 000	10 × Tempered (300 pt ea)
Galestone Ingot	Wind	9 000	8 × Tempered + 20 × Flawed
Terrastone Ingot	Earth	9 000	Any mix ≥ 9 000 points

Ingots act as high-tier crafting cores for future weapon, armour, and accessory upgrades.
