Unprocessed ores from Calypso
Miners roam the continents on Calypso in search of resources that can be classified into two major groups: ores and enmatters.
There are over 50 ores and enmatters being traded on Calypso today ranging from common to extremely rare resources.
While mining, your avatar will be building a number of skills related to mining that include surveying, prospecting, mining, geology and more. Open the Skills Panel Skills Panel

The Skills Panel allows you to view your avatar's current skill ranks and points.
Skill points are gained by performing different activites on Planet Calypso. The more skill points you acquire in an activity, the more proficient you will become in that activity.
