Mining Guide

go to the mining field south of the starting city, the field is located on the lower right corner. After arriving there, you should see 2 npcs. The first guy looks like a buff-looking dude and the other one's a short man. The short one sells pickaxes so click on him and pick the first option.
-the 1st 2 picks are the same, both lvl 1 but only with a different durability.
-the last 2 are lvl 2 tool, they are the same with different durability.
You need to raise ur mining skill (through commoner) to level 2 to use the level 2 tool.
now, go deeper into the mining field until there is a small mining animation pop up on ur lower left of your screen. (above chatting window). Click on it and a window should pop up, drag the pick (the one u bought) into an empty square on the right window. Click on the window and start mining.

Other side jobs

Harvesting skills and others seems to work the same, get the harvesting tool(rod, pick, food, etc.), and use the skills in the designated area (little icon appears over your chat window when you are in area where you can use one of the harvesting skills).
