Vow oaths and covenant
At the tip of the Mining branch: pick either all drops become Azurite at Trade wealth value (2x and 3x procs stop) or 20% more global drop chance. Then pick either a free Pickaxe level or a free Mine level, each a 1 in 1000 roll per action. The Covenant of the Deep Seam makes your Lumber Mill, Dock and Barracks add 65% of their bonus to Mining drops.
