Minerals

Minerals are a class of inorganic materials, including stones, metals, and crystals, which are created within the earth by natural processes. Most types of Mineral are found in both The Old World and The New World, but some are unique to one or the other. Minerals are, by definition, sessile, meaning they are unable to move on their own. Objects which have the characteristics of Minerals, but are mobile or otherwise dangerous, are considered to be Monsters instead. Gems are a subtype of Mineral distinguished by their rarity and vibrant appearance.

Many Minerals are useful Resources for Crafting and may be harvested by players while Adventuring in The Wilds. Players who encounter previously unknown Minerals should generally document the discovery in their Adventure Report, though they are not required to do so except in the case of Resource Nodes, such as a large deposit made up of a single type of Mineral.
