===== A Guide to Mining =====
Basics
There are 2 methods of mining your play style will dictate which is right for you.
AFK mining is low intensity, you can click the ore node once and you will mine until that node is exhausted or your inventory is full. This method is not the most efficient in terms of exp per hour.
Animation cancelling drop mining is the peak exp per hour and is high intensity. Animation cancelling, you can stop the characters swing animation and force the next swing to start by clicking on the node again once the swing has begun, wait until you see a spark from the node, this is the time the resource has a chance to 'drop' and this is the time we want to cancel the second half of the animation to save time and start the next swing. Drop the resources from your inventory when it is full by holding shift and left clicking on the resources, to save time AFK mine while dropping resources.
