Understorm Gold Mine

Template:Infobox Location Understorm Gold Mine is a Tier 2 Adventuring Area.

• Located in Longfall and connecting Longfall Woods with the island of Storm’s Reach, the Understorm Gold Mine is inside a cluster of damp and mossy caverns that stretch underneath the Bay of Storms. The elves that mine the rich ore nodes for copper and gold will fiercely defend their claim.

Trivia

• Until now all our mines have been Tier 5 dungeons making it impossible for low-level players to find high concentrations of ore. After many requests from the community and an intense roundtable at SotA Con Austin we have made the decision to add three Tier 2 mines to Novia. Each mine is located along one of the three paths (Truth, Love, Courage) approximately between the outskirts map and the starting town for that path. The mines are mainly sources of metal ore (iron and copper) with a very small occurrence of gold or silver (no gems).

• Mining in these caves is backbreaking work, a recent accident left this elf to be sent home in a body bag. A dangerous job indeed.
