Iron Vein

What you get

Everything below comes on a successful try; a failed try gives nothing.

• Iron Ore every time

With 1,800 humanity there is a 5% chance to get twice this. Servers with a raised gather rate hand out more.

Odds and speed

Each tier of pickaxe above the first adds 5 points to the chance of a success.

Tool	Success per try
Copper Pickaxe	65%
Iron Pickaxe	70%
Steel Pickaxe	75%
Morion Pickaxe	80%

A try gets quicker the further your level is above the requirement, and stops getting quicker at ten levels over. These are the server's times. Your game client sends each repeat on its own timer, and the server skips a repeat that arrives before it has finished the last try, so the pace you see can be slower.

A tool above the required tier also gives free successes: each tier over the requirement gives one success that does not count toward emptying the spot.

You can also hit it with a pickaxe as your weapon. Every 40 damage counts as one success, with no chance to fail. A hit with the lowest tier does 30 damage (45 with a heavy attack), and up to 51 with a much better tool and 10 levels to spare.
