I would like to propose indtroduction to two new items: Summon Vein and a Vein Compass. The goal is to make mining less tedious, specifically for Battle Pass quests, but keeping the economy balanced.
Summon vein - Similar to the existing Metin Stone summon, these items would allow a player to spawn a vein at their location. To keep it balanced, the specific vein would be random within a specific tier range.
Vein compass - This item would function exactly like the Metin Stone Compass, but for vein ores.
To prevent ores from becoming worthless, these items should not be easily obtained. Drop place suggestions :
Mining quests (e.g., "Mine 2,000 Ebony Ore") are currently incredibly tedious because finding the specific vein takes a stupid amount of time. And even when you find the one you're looking for, it could disappear in 2 min. This would help speed up that process.
Ideally, the Vein Compass could also show what ore is closest to you, or maybe even a Vein Compass where you can choose a vein you're looking for, and it shows you the way. But that might be too much.
Edit: apparently, there is a summon vein, but still, the division into tiers would be nice.

- Small Scroll (Tier 1): Spawns low-level veins (e.g., Copper, Fossil Wood) usable with a basic Pickaxe.
- Medium Scroll (Tier 2): Spawns mid-level veins (e.g., Ebony, White Gold) usable with a copper Pickaxe.
- Large (Tier 3): Spawns high-level veins (e.g., Heavenly Tear, Soul Crystal) requiring mythril Pickaxes
Vein compass - This item would function exactly like the Metin Stone Compass, but for vein ores.
To prevent ores from becoming worthless, these items should not be easily obtained. Drop place suggestions :
- A low % chance to drop from dungeon or boss chests.
- A reward for BP levels
- A potential drop during Mining Events
