Trade-Skills (Miner):

This trade-skill will enable one to successfully preform specific mining operations.  Only one who has studied and passed the test of the Miner can successfully preform mining operations.

 

Mining operations are as follows:

Chamber and Tunneling Excavating

Chamber and Tunnel Support

Gem, Mineral and Ore Detection

Gem, Mineral and Ore Extraction.

 

Note: There is no mastery for this trade-skill.
Prerequisite: Trade-skill "Carpentry" and "Geological Studies"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Modification-point cost: 8
Training Time: 32 weeks (224 days).

Training note: This is an averaged time to complete the full training for Miner. However,

                         the training time can vary according to the student's Intelligence.

 

                         For every point of Intelligence above 26, the training time will be reduced by

                         two days (minimum 112 days to train).

 

                         For every point of Intelligence below 18, the training time will be increased

                         by two days.

 

Training Cost: 28 white-gold per day of training + the cost of all supplies used.

Your Intelligence will be the % chance to successfully preform a mining operation. Example: If you have a 30 Intelligence, you will have a starting 30% chance to preform each of the following mining operations: Chamber and Tunneling Excavating, Chamber and Tunnel Support, Gem, Mineral and Ore Detection, Gem, Mineral and Ore Extraction.

 

For each physical ailment you successfully treat, the % chance to successfully treat another of the same will increase by +1.

 

Example:
If you have a 30 Intelligence, and successfully preform a mining operation, you will gain +1 added to your current 30% chance the next time you attempt the same (you would have a 31% chance). If you preform another successfully, your skill would increase from 31% chance to 32%.
     Keep a log for each of the Mining Operations. I would keep a log as follows:

 

Mining Operations:
Chamber and Tunneling Excavating:                 77%
Chamber and Tunnel Support:                            56%
Gem, Mineral and Ore Detection:                     39%
Gem, Mineral and Ore Extraction:                    87%
Maximum Mining Operations success chance: 97%
