Mining
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
Default Key: K
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.

The current weight of your Inventory and your PED account balance are also displayed for convenience.

Once equipped, operate the tool by left clicking, and a Seismic Bomb/Survey Probe is automatically released in one smooth motion. Seismic Bombs will explode where they are placed, and Survey Probes will burrow deep into the earth. An interface will then appear revealing the results of the prospecting attempt.
The interface will indicate if a resource deposit is found, displaying its Range, Depth and Type. It will also indicate where the deposit is located.

Very large resource deposits yield a drill tower. A drill tower automatically extracts resources in regular intervals and needs to be emptied once every 24 hours for smooth sustained operation.
