Mining picks purchased from vendors are Account Bound and can be moved between characters. The required level of the mining pick corresponds to a tier, the tier required to harvest a vein node depends on the type of vein. The required level for the mining pick and the corresponding nodes it's required to mine generally scale with the level of the zone.
