Mace/chiv/tact/anat/heal/miner with 120 Smithy. Imbued Bonecrusher with earth slayer. Wearing all the gear with STR/DEX/INT pumps. 150STR/150DEX/65INT.
I remember that they stated that mining in Fel and also in caves has higher chances in getting colored ore. It's very long ago when I read it and I think it was in a HoC Chat ........ is it possible that Hanse was still around at that time when they changed mining? I think I can remember, not 100% sure but pretty sure.Mining in Fel is great and all, double resources, but as far as I can remember there's never been any statement by the devs or definitive testing to prove whether the spawn rates are better in Fel vs. Tram or whether or not mining in caves is better than along the mountainside. I do recall that supposedly mining in dungeons was supposed to be a bit better but I can't find that info.
Don't you think people are saving all their valorite to fill valorite bribed BOD's to get val runic hammers? You know I am. Also, I save my valorite for other relic manufacture reasons too, which isn't needed at the moment since shame loot provided a less resource intensive method. Be careful making the jump that since no one in Luna is selling something there isn't valorite ingots being used. The rarity of something could also indicate a higher demand than the market can supply.There's not even one commodity deed worth valorite ingots available on Pacific.
How do you correlate me saying something isn't for sale as that means valorite ingots aren't being used.Be careful making the jump that since no one in Luna is selling something there isn't valorite ingots being used.
This is completely wrong. Every time a resource tile is collected it has a chance to respawn as a different grade ore or log.Theoretically you can make an entire area of just valorite if you have enough people prospecting and turning up the spawn color.

I'm sure valorite ingots are getting used. However, the shortage of valorite ingots for sale in Luna predates this change by quite a bit.
Aren't you saying there isn't any valorite and implying that since something isn't for sale that others don't have the resource? Maybe it just seemed that way to me.Yeah and there's only 26 deeds available on the search site. Only one is for 10k ingots, two for 5k ingots and the rest are for 1k or 500 ingots. Even the scripters can't find enough valorite.
I do method 1 and 2 that I identified so I know they work. Maybe it is how I'm doing it compared with the extensive list of other players. Don't know.This is completely wrong.

Players have tried this extensively with frostwood. Simply not mining or chopping it completely out will not prevent the system from changing it to a different type.
After a resource tile is collected, whether you run it dry or not, there is a chance that it will change. Then comes in the spawn rate which will determine what it changes to. If it was a high-end rare ore or log already, the chances that it will respawn as the same is pretty slim. Whatever the spawn rate is.
It didn't take a mathematical genius to see that the method by which they were suddenly going to randomly fluctuate ores would cause a severe drop in the high-end ores, but I commented on it anyway when they first suggested implementing it.There has been some concern about the spawning rate of colored ores. After 4438 ores mined I have the following:
Iron: 2592
Dull Copper: 763
Shadow Iron: 308
Copper: 294
Bronze: 161
Gold: 157
Agapite: 52
Verite: 107
Valorite: 4
You can draw your own conclusions. One note I DID use a prospectors tool.
Pretty long thread, tldr. But my miner is a 120 macer w/ an earth ele slaying diamond mace. I use prosp and garg all the time, and with BOD changes it makes it easy to get new garg picks (but I have a ton from IDOCs, heh).Using a combat miner even human using the prospector and garg pick combo.
