There are a few options to increase the amount of ore you get from mining in New World. Here will we break out each option and break down the ingredients needed for proficiency potions.
Add Perks to Raise Yield from Mining
When you are crafting any of your mining picks, they all have chances to add a perk. A perk will give your mining pick a special attribute that may increase different aspects of the item.
You can add either a special item to your craft, or you can also add Azoth when crafting to increase the chance of getting a perk. Some of these perks increase the amount of items, or the yield, you can get from mining. To increase the yield and get more ore out of mining, you will want the “Mining Yield” Perk on your mining pick which makes it yield 10% more resources.
You can also add perks to armor and amulets, as discussed in the next section. Utilizing as many of these as you can in your gear set will maximize yield.
Consume Proficiency Potions to Raise Yield of all Gathering Skills Temporarily
Another way to raise yield temporarily while on a mining run is to craft and consume Proficiency Booster potions. Some people think since this is a potion it must be crafted using the Arcana skill, but it is actually crafted using the Engineering skill, using a Workshop.
