Ore veins are scattered throughout all Tyria. Mining a node requires the respective gathering tool. Once a player interacts with the ore, they will enter a mining animation and receive ore every time the node is hit.

Rich Ore Veins are a special type of node. Rich Veins can be mined ten times as opposed to three and have a greater chance to give gemstones.[citation needed]
