As proposed earlier, I have put this subject in a separate article, to keep the information on both Gem mining and Embedding separated and thus hopefully easier to comprehend. The main purpose of mining in Kingdoms of Middle Earth is to acquire the Gem Shards needed to make the Gems used for embedding in gear.
Here I will give an overview of the things necessary to find the mines on the map, mine them successfully for Gem Shards, and other possible benefits from mining. To mine we need to know the following things:
- What is Mining exactly?
- What types of Mines are there?
- How do you find Mines?
- Watch Tower
- Search Results
- How do you start mining?
- Attacking a Mine
- Mining progress and report
- Reinforcing a Mine
- Gem Pouch research
- What are the possible drops?
- Defending Mines
- Strategy
- Use in TKing
- Alliance agreements
