==Optimizing Experience Point Yield From Mining==
There are 3 main ways to optimize the [[Experience Points]] (XP) yield when mining:
* Maximize your mining speed - the more nodes you mine in a given time, the more XP you will gain.
** Increase your [[Mining Gathering Time Bonus]] (see above) - reduces the time required to mine a node.
** Increase your [[Move Rate]] and [[Move Speed]] - reduces the time required for moving from node to node.
* Maximize your [[ Mining Meticulous Collection Chance]] (see above) - the more [[Meticulous Collection]]s you get per node, the more XP you will gain. Also, each meticulous collection adds XP to both the [[Producer Experience]] pool and to the [[Adventurer Experience]] pool.
* Mine only ore nodes - ore nodes tend to give far more XP than deposit nodes or crystal nodes.
* Mine in a zone where the Experience Points awarded for mining ore is high (see below).

The zones listed below have the highest XP for mining nodes and have a reasonable number of nodes. For Tartarus, the caves next to the maze have more nodes (and are located closer together) than the maze.

<span style="color:fuchsia">&dagger;</span> XP = [[Experience Points]]; The XP for the initial gather is awarded only to the [[Producer Experience]] pool, whereas the XP for each Meticulous gather is added to both the [[Producer Experience]] pool and to the [[Adventurer Experience]] pool.

Note: In some zones, there may be nodes of the same type that offer different amount of XP. For example, in the plains encounter there are some gold ore nodes that give 400 XP and some gold nodes that give 5,000 XP. In other words, mining nodes within the same zone may give different amounts of XP, even if they are the same type of node.
