Introductions

The below guide is meant to be used in the following way. The player should copy and paste a line (into any GW2 chat bar) by: highlighting a line and then *right click* that selection to copy it (alternatively: hold ctrl then hit c [ctrl + c] to copy a selection). Paste that selection to your chat bar in game by holding ctrl and then hit v [ctrl + v]. You can then utilize the Waypoint and POI chat links along with the text now in your chat window to guide you to the Rich Vein node.

Some rules regarding mining:
A) Rich Vein nodes refresh every 24 hours.
B) All of your characters can mine Rich Vein nodes within the same 24 hour period.
