Mining Skills: use the right page before the route turns messy.
A route-support entry for players who want their mining tree to match the real ore loops they are running.

What you need first
At least one ore route already marked so you can judge whether skill points are actually the missing piece.

How to use this entry
Use this page to narrow the task, then move into one stronger route page.
Start here when the ore tier is right but each mining trip still feels too slow to be worth it.
- Improving mining comfort after the route itself is already reasonable.
- Choosing which mining-related points pay off first for your current ore tier.
- Linking the skill decision to a real Iron, Tin, or Scarlet loop.
Common mistakes
- Spending points on mining before a real ore route even exists.
- Expecting skills to solve bad return planning or overloaded inventory.
- Changing the tree constantly without checking whether the route itself improved.
