The pursuit of mineralogy can make a person very happy indeed!Mining is a non-combat activity that allows players to excavate various minerals and ores that are used as resources in Cetus, Fortuna, or the Necralisk. It can be performed in the Plains of Eidolon, the Orb Vallis, and the Cambion Drift.Mechanics[]Gear Acquisition[]Before players can begin mining, they must first acquire a Nosam Cutter from Old Man Suumbaat in Cetus for Ostron standing, or a Sunpoint Plasma Drill from Smokefinger in Fortuna for Solaris United standing. Players must then equip the mining tool in their Gear Wheel to use it.The Sunpoint Plasma Drill is superior to the Nosam Cutters: it can mine Very Rare gems, includes the features of other Cutters, can be upgraded, and can be purchased earlier than most other Cutters as it does not require any Syndicate ranks. It also has the slowest drill progress, making precise timing easier. It does, however, require at least 2,500 with Solaris United to be able to purchase, which could involve multiple Bounty Missions.Acquiring a Basic Nosam Cutter in Cetus for a much simpler 500 standing (low enough to be gained during Saya's Vigil) and mining Venus gems that can be traded in for Standing is a quick way to get the Sunpoint Plasma Drill. Keeping the Nosam Cutter after this process is recommended, since the Drill has a remarkably low chance of finding Common and Uncommon ores and gems. However, note that a Nosam Cutter and a Sunpoint Plasma Drill cannot be equipped at the same time.Finding Veins[]Out on the Plains, Vallis, or Drift, players have several means of finding resource deposits.Veins stand out visually as bright colored spots surrounded by light grey patches on rocks and rock formations. Red and yellow spots denote Ores, while Blue spots denote Gems. Note that the various fossilized Sentient bones littering the Plains are not rocks (despite bearing a superficial resemblance to them) and will not have any mineral veins.Mining tools have several features to find minerals from a distance.
