Mining?

Gishmel · Post by **Gishmel** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 3:10 pm

Minor updateThe mining of ore, coal and gems was reworked and improved. Now there are well defined mines where you can fetch these resources. Therefore you should not wonder that you can't mine in the middle of Troll's Bane any longer.

Is this why when I mine in the rocks outside of Silverbrand I only find piles of 1 if I find anything? I know my skill is much higher.

Yes!

please, read this:

The mining system is changed completly. Raw matrials and the success rate to find them also depends on the areas. There are areas which are empty and some which are filled with different ores, gems etc.

Go around and search for them. In general mines should be better places to find ores than the overground (maybe some very little map-changes are needed).

With the new changes mining becomes harder. But you can collect lots of knowledge about the art of mining (about the different locations and success rates). So miners should be more important now (prices should grow up) and i hope we get some full-time mines now.

I belive prices will go up on wares such as armor and weapons now as well. Since ingots are used from raw materials then smelted into ingots then made into such wares.

Hehe, I'm starting to like this idea!

Erm...If you are a smith it means that ingots will be harder to make and more expensive.

Ironic...

WOoden goods turn cheaper
Iron gets expensive....

As it should be right?

cmon, it's not that bad, I mean sure, ore will be rare, but still, if I can rase prices, than it pays off! and I thiink it would be cool going around, looking for a *hot* spot. And if you find one, its your secret, and your rich!

Why not buy a map when he is done

i found a smaragd spot XD
4 smaragds on 100 copper is pretty good i think

so we can now also get gems out of other rocks

I got 6 on 25 copper. Nice huh? Anyhow, to the programmers out there, and whomever's idea this was, this was the best thing that happened to mining ever. I wish to apologise for being so skeptical about it all. See general board.

*buys one of liles maps*
Better be some good spots in here or ill see what there is to mine in your head.

Liles · Post by **Liles** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 8:29 pm

Do all gems come in coal rocks still?

Misjbar · Post by **Misjbar** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 8:31 pm

I think not. I found them in both copper and coal rocks. Smaragds that is.

Liles · Post by **Liles** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 8:33 pm

That explains why I only get ammys...

evilone · Post by **evilone** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 10:23 pm

Ya, I got 7 emeralds from a one of the rocks...

Liles · Post by **Liles** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 10:26 pm

21 ammys from a rock and couldn't cut even 1 of them...

evilone · Post by **evilone** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 10:32 pm

i actually cut 1 emerald out of 7 ems and an "ammy"

Liles · Post by **Liles** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 10:34 pm

Lucky...Bah, the gem cutting sucks.

Gishmel · Post by **Gishmel** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:52 am

takes practice.

I am having no luck finding copper or iron and as i said my skill is high. The reason I restate this is because I have mined in every mine......... Any suggestions...?

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 3:48 am

yeah me too, I went all over the world mining, like in the desert, mines not close to towns, and yet, no *hot* spots. mabey i'm just unlucky

Kevin Lightdot · Post by **Kevin Lightdot** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 1:14 pm

I think this thread may be dead but...

Insted of findidng more with a higher mining skill do you jus mine faster now? It seems so.

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Mon Dec 26, 2005 6:53 am

higher chance of getting some, i think

Yes and no.
The higher the skill, the faster you mine AND the more you find.

richard its acutally a new person that used the serach function.

I would tell you, but you should go IG and ask people if they mind showing or telling you where its at. You might meet someone important too

Jeanette · Post by **Jeanette** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 3:31 am

This is the sort of question you ask around in game. It is something for your character to learn, not something for you to learn and your character to just suddenly know. If I met you in game I would tell you where they are.

One question mark is enough you know?
As well as one capital letter.
Noone'll help you faster, or like you better.
