How To Find the Best Mining Areas
Once you’re in your favorite area, bring up the Map (press M by default) and take notice of the different colors on the map surface. For mining, we’re looking for the light brown areas of the map—so the bigger the patch of brown you see, the greater chance you’ll have of finding large amounts of mining nodes.
Lodestone Veins are pretty easy to spot from a distance, since they glow bright red. Your mining skills needs to be at least 105 to mine it.
