There is a map in the library, but it won\'t do you any good ;) There are no in-game computer generated maps, and there won\'t be any for a while. In fact, there probably won\'t be any at all - maps will be player/character made (thus the future cartography skill). Concerning skills, the great majority of them are unavailable yet. Certainly skills such as backstab. Mining is implemented, though you\'ll need to train a skill and buy yourself a pick to use it. Harnquist, by the blacksmith\'s, sells the picks and trains the mine skills. (Keep in mind that you need Progression Points -and- tria to raise a skill.) To mine, simply find a suitable location (there are several, most hidden) and type /dig [enter mineral name] (i.e., gold, platinum, etc.). Gold, for example, can be found by the magic shop outside of Hydlaa.
Good luck!
