Stone
Type	Raw material
Gathered at	Rocks in The Mine, The Pond, Whisperwood and the Wilderness
Skill	Mining
Used for	Copper smelting, Shield Potions, Guild Life and firepits

Stone is a raw gathered material in Kintara. Every rock outside Frostmere and The Dunes gives Stone — plain rocks on the Mainland, in The Mine, at The Pond, in Whisperwood, across the Wilderness realms and the basalt spires of Emberstone (dark-veined rocks give Coal instead; Emberstone spires are always plain Stone, and their 3x2 clusters run to 13 swings for 13 Stone). It is the copper-smelting ore, buys Shield Potions, and feeds Guild Life.

Gathering

Mine plain rocks	The Mine, The Pond, Whisperwood, Wilderness	Mining (20 XP per mined-out rock)	Stone (1 per swing)
