So can anyone explain to me how mining works and where to mine at? I've never found a mineral deposit yet. And after you get ore how do you convert them into ingots? Thanks in advance for your answers.
Go to the Smelter which is usually situated just outside the mine.
The ore is a blob on the floor/wall, found a few recently in a dungeon Not seen a pickax yet tho?
That's what I've been doing as well, but I'm going to start looking for some mines instead now.I bought a pickaxe from the smithy in town.. and have only found a few ore in the wilderness.. my impatience has let me to just buy what i need from the smithy too.. after doing a few quests to get the cash.
Hmm I'll have to check tomorrow cause I still haven't been able to find one.There is a mine by every major town.

Hey there's Embershard Mine right at the start of the game between the standing stones and Riverwood

I found a pickaxe in there leaning up against a wall. You can also get a woodcutter's axe right outside it, so you've got firewood and mining taken care of.

Ore veins replenish their ores after about a month. Malachite may replenish every 15 days.
