Weird Rookie Mining Questions

From: Bastokan_mm Registered User Posted: 2005-10-03 20:46:12	Reply Quote
I actually have a few to ask so just bear with me: 1) Is there any difference between the "Field" gear and the "Workers" gear asides their level, DEF, and the fact they are a HQ synth? 2) I had a weird thought on this one. Is Mining results at all effected by the Theif abblity, "Treasure Hunter"? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

1) Not that anybody has been able to see; they don't seem to impact results differently, for sure. 2) No.

Yes there is a noticeable difference in the number of picks you break. The HQ is worth its weight in gold. TH has no effect.

Okay... Now I'm even more confused... Not about the Theif part, but the "Worker" gear. Some says it does and the other says it doesn't... Which is right?! >.<;;

It's one of those thins (like how TH really works) that will never be confirmed until a game progger tells us. If you have the gil, buy the HQ. It can't hurt, and with the way the economy is, the price'll probably double in a couple days anyway :-P

I have made millions of gill mining. For a long time I only had the field gear, when I upgraded there was a noticeable change to the number of picks broken. I didn't record how many swings per pick or anything but it was significant. Get the field gear if you are poor, then buy the good stuff when you have made enough mining to do so and you won't regret it.

Okay, one more question.

Are there any other things that effect mining results? EX: Moon phase, DAy, or even the time?

I notice sometimes when I go into Zerhum Mines, I'll pull Zinc ore out like it's common, then sometimes I'll pull Iron ore out like it's common as the mining data says on ths site. There has to be something else to this.

Sorry or all the noob questions and I thank everyone that has responded to this so far and further on.

Moon does have an effect both on pick breakage and on ores obtained. Don't ask me exactly what it is because I rarely even know what the moon phase is lol. I have noticed a couple of full moons that I got either the worst items or the best and almost none of the common.
