Ok so i hate mining in bilegulch because it's dark, so i put on my torch and go mine, then when it's done i have to requip the torch, it would be just better if it was automatic. especially if there is going to be dark dungeons (really hoping so) what do you guys think? i mean shields and swords come back, torches should defiantly come back.

Hah happens to me as well plus some of the mines have gas vapor in the caves and the room explodes and the Orcs are not down with that and attack me lol..

Torch in left hand, pickaxe in right. Swing your right hand at the ore, every three swings you'll collect an ore.

Yes you can manually hit the ore desposits. Dual pickaxe with elemental fury lets you mine out a mine in 1/5 the time.

Equip a torch in one hand and a pick-axe in another and hit the ore vein manually.

Equip a torch in one hand and an axe in the other hand and mine manually.
