}}Mining and Smelting, single skill.<br />
<br />
Can make ingots of metal for forging and hopefully other crafts in the future.<br />
<br />
Mines are excavated. You can make your own and dig directionally.<br />
<br />
Players can search ores, and intuit ores based on mining skills. Bonus for [[Dwarf|dwarves]].<br />
<br />
Teamwork for deeper excavation. Shoring up mines.<br />
<br />
Digging too deep has hazards, like critters.<br />
<br />
Skill helps chance of finding ore, [[gem]]s, shoring up mines.<br />
<br />
Even rare ores are a possibility.<br />
<br />
Good smelters can improve ore quality through normal or mechanical means. Increased skill is a greater quantity of ore, more efficiency.<br />
<br />
Can smelt mundane and magical metals.<br />
<br />
Exotic metals require even more exotic techniques.<br />
<br />
CAN MELT existing items, but at a reduction of overall material. Skill determines how inefficient it is. Some possible restrictions on certain metals (like coraesine, black ora)<br />

}}<i>>Alright 3 question:<br />
<br />
>1. Has any more consideration been giving to allowing us to find rare metals in proper locations?</i><br />
<br />
More? It has been considered. It is highly likely that metals that should only be found in certain locations will be found in those locations.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>>2. Are we still looking at a 2009 time frame?</i><br />
<br />
Hopefully. I'm making no promises, as I'm currently in the middle of moving to another state, having gotten a new job (I'm an engineer, now!).<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>>3. Who are you? No really, glad someone is working on mining/smelting, but I don't think I've ever heard of you before. =)</i><br />
I was at the 2008 Simucon (Krakii and I played lots of Settlers there). I've posted on these boards before, too. I'm really not sure what else you're looking for here.<br />
<br />
And just to clarify on a previous post, I'm now working on both mining and smelting (before I was just doing smelting). As always, suggestions are welcome. Not to say I'm lacking; I've a pretty clear vision on how this system is going to turn out.<br />
<br />
I feel like I should become a geologist, now. There's a lot there to study.<br />

}}Interesting you should mention that, Miss Nixxi's Beau.<br />
<br />
<i>>Which metals do you forsee being available (albeit in a very limited amount if need be) through mining/smelting? Which metals are completely not approved for release through mining/smelting?</i><br />
<br />
[[Vultite]] will not be the limit of quality you can get from mining/smelting. Which metals is still debated. Clearly, rare metals are going to be rare. Extremely rare metals will be a true treasure. That, at least, is the goal.<br />
<br />
I can almost certainly say that metals that have supernatural powers that require scripting of some sort ([[coraesine]], [[krodera]], [[urglaes]], [[urnon]]) will likely not be released through mining. This isn't a solid 'no', but don't even try to get your hopes up. <br />

}}I believe he also mentioned some rogue only [[Combat Maneuvers|Cmans]] are on the way.<br />
<br />
It was also mentioned that when mining and smelting come out, those metals can be used for making [[lockpick]]s.(rarer metals will be released)<br />
