Below is a table of all nodes that those with the mining profession may loot, the color code at different skill levels, what they yield, and where they are primarily found.
For a list of what veins are in each zone see: Mining by zone .
NOTE: Patch 2.4 appears to have adjusted the possible additional items for Adamantite Deposit, Rich Adamantite Deposit, and Nethercite Deposit. The chance of getting an uncommon raw gem has been removed (or drastically lowered) and replaced with the chance to get a rare raw gem. Further research is needed.
Miners can also smelt to gain skill ups.
