Mining

From the Pantheon Wiki

Mining extracts ores, gems, and other resources from rocks scattered across the realm. Higher levels unlock better ores and faster mining speeds. The Prospector outfit from Motherlode Mine grants a 2.5% XP bonus and is highly recommended before committing to long Mining sessions.

Pantheon notes: Motherlode Mine is fully available on Pantheon — an AFK method from level 30+ that rewards golden nuggets for the Prospector outfit. The Mining Guild provides an invisible +7 Mining boost. 3-tick Granite at the Quarry is the fastest active XP in the game for those willing to invest in the technique.
