Sorry to tell you this but I have gotten 2 and sometimes 3 Saltpeter drops from the same spot. And just because you don't get Saltpeter on the first swing does not mean there is no Saltpeter there.It only takes that initial pick swing to know if saltpeter is present.
Agree. Depending on how much the RNG loves me that day I can get from 1000 - 2000 an hour.Phoenix just posted in the economy thread that you hsould be able to get about 1000 saltpeter per hour of dungeon mining. That sounds about right from what i've seen as sometimes i've done a little better, sometimes a little worse.
Wow 385! Thanks, it was my first pretty high one and I was curious.Massive runs 160ish - 220 and Gigantic runs gamut from 230ish to a high of385 (almost all 4's!). Thats wearing a 1960 or 2660 Luck suit and mining around Cavern and WoAbyss house.
Never tried boat ming. To utilize existing Luck suit, I soulstoned Mining over to my Tamer. Generally I just mine saltpeter, and drop all else on ground. It only takes that initial pick swing to know if saltpeter is present.
There are a couple different things going on here:Sorry to tell you this but I have gotten 2 and sometimes 3 Saltpeter drops from the same spot. And just because you don't get Saltpeter on the first swing does not mean there is no Saltpeter there.
PLEASE NEVER ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU DID NOT GET SALTPETER ON THE FIRST TRY THAT THERE IS NO SALTPETER THERE. IT IS ALL UP TO THE RNG.
OK, here's a question for you - Is saltpeter coming up from mountain-face mining in the Valor region of Ilshenar a bug, or intentional?Basically, boat mining is much safer and easier than dungeon mining, so the saltpeter reward should be less. But, "prospecting" a lot of chunks for saltpeter would be much slower on a boat. So, when boat mining, the intent is that you occasionally get a small niter rock when mining normally, kind of like mining up a gem. With dungeon mining, the intent is that you can "prospect" for saltpeter specifically to get it faster, or just get some as a bonus when mining normally.
It is not intentional. I don't know yet whether it will be changed.Is saltpeter coming up from mountain-face mining in the Valor region of Ilshenar a bug, or intentional?
Hate to disagree with you, but there has been a number of times that I have been mining saltpeter and it didn't show up until after the 1st strike. And my miner is GM, has +5 gloves in addition to that and runs 2800+ luck when I mine for it.1> When dungeon mining, if you are at GM Mining, if there is a niter deposit to be found within an 8x8 chunk, it will be discovered on the first strike. If you're at less than GM mining, the results of the first strike are not certain.
I went saltpeter mining about 3 weeks ago and had the same experience as NuSair. My luck was less - 1750 I think - but I definitely had two of the deposits appear on the 2nd strike. I was paying careful attention due to post #3 in this thread. However, I want to point out that if this is not functioning as intended it would be a bad idea to change it such that even less spawns.Hate to disagree with you, but there has been a number of times that I have been mining saltpeter and it didn't show up until after the 1st strike.

Saltpeter is a key ingredient when you go to make the stuff to fire a cannon.IDK about all this. This stuffs sitting in a secure at my house and I dont know what its good for or even worth!
If you need to get to the emporium, and are on Atlantic, shoot me an IM, I have a character perm parked there who can gate.I havent had high seas more then a week or 2 now but when I did some reading it said to get to the emporium place I need to sail out there(no marking) But.. I cant dock there!
Do the bigger ships have like small boats to travel and dock at the emporium? If so How do I get one without being able to get there?
I swear Im missing something here!
