In the new Settlers of Kalguur league, the Kalguurans request your help with building their new settlement of Kingsmarch. To aid the Kalguurans in building the settlement, you gather Gold and resources from Wraeclast and the Atlas of Worlds.
Gathering Services
Assisting the Kalguurans in building the Settlement of Kingsmarch requires substantial resources. You assist in locating minerals and runes, finding Gold and disenchanting items for Thaumaturgic Dust in order to help.
Workers do not work for free of course, so you need to pay them in Gold.

Mining
On your adventures you might find resources such as Crimson Iron, Orichalcum, Petrified Amber, Bismuth or Verisium.
Once you defeat the monsters guarding the ore, you are able to tag the location for Mining. An area that is tagged gets mined by workers you have hired in Kingsmarch.
