Mines & Mountains

About

Mines & Mountains is one of the Proficiencies used to acquire the Skills needed to survive in the New World. Additionally the higher a pilgrim's Mines & Mountains the less likely you are to fall when Climbing and the less Blood damage you take when you do fall or when falling as a result of a Mine-Down. The higher a pilgrim's Mines & Mountains lower the chance of causing a Cave-Ins when Mining, the lower the Hardness of Any Raw Gems you will find when using Sift Rubble, the higher the chance of Digging up a Granite Boulders from a Quarry and larger Lime Boulders from a Lime Pit. Mines & Mountains can be gained by Studying Inspirationals, doing Passive Mines & Mountains activities, or by chance when Wishing for Wisdom on a Wonderful Whimsical Wish.
