Mining Opinion

Ok guys, I just wanted some feedback on rather I should Mine with 16 miners in PC mine for GEMS or just plvling to 70 and goto dc mine and mine GOLD

My logic in this is

Gems take forever sometimes to mine and i usually get 10 a day when i mine with just 12 miners, but they are all usually normal

Lets do the math :D

10 x 300k = 3kk
(Just rounding the medium price i get for norm gems)

So I get about 3 mill at least a day and not to mention the time selling these little beasts lol

Ok Now lets do Gold Math

I havn't time it much, but I would say every hour you can get a full bag of decent rate gold (3+)

16 x 500k = 8kk
(Miners) (How much full bags worth) (Per Hour)

So 8 mill per hour and its kinda constant too and i dont have to spend my time in the market waiting for people to buy so I think mining gold with this many miners is more profitable what do you guys think?

if you mine for gems u need to sell so sometimes its hard to sell normal gems but there is the chance of getting ref or super gem w/ that many miners
and mining gold is just like gettin money right away. rly what i would do is mine for gems just cause the chance of getting ref or super gems

Let's say, you only got all bag full of rate4.
Each rate4 worth 9k. 39 (or 40 depend if you got a scroll) x 9k =>around 400k.
You cant get a full bag on all your miner in one hour, maybe in some, but not on all.
So you wont get 8kk each hour.

Ya i was thinking that you dont get full bag in an hour and that they wont all be high rates and to answer your question about the whole tc mine (Dont tell anyone, but tc mine sucks and i mined there for a week before and only got 1 gem goto pc mine its full) ;)

Well so far what im getting is go for the gems

Gems:2
Gold:0

If i get 5 on either side ill decide to take your guys advice

I mined my SDG in tc mines =x

hehe, I always just moved my characters a bit if they don't mine any gold or gems within about a couple hours of mining, I usually come up with about 8 gems every 12 hours, usually 25% of them refined, with just 4 miners!

I mine 23+ gems a day 16 miners.

sureeeeee ;) lol o wells I guess I can believe that you mine 23 gems a day but the prob is i say i have 16 miners but i dont use but 12 for the simple fact i have my main on and a tao by my miners picking up gems and reviving if by chance some white name pks and kills 1st hit... but the problems also for believeing you is you can't "sign on" more then 16 conquers I think it would never let me o wells.

In related news, I went back to pc mine last night and got them all in nice rows and put CoTobo on them all and now i have 14 gems - like 3 refined kylin rest norms all dif gems... but anyways 14 gems from 9 PM to 6 AM

14 gems 9 hours

Also I relized that once you start mining for a while you barely get ANY ore which is good, only thing you start to mine is air and gems.... Then this morning because i dropped 2 gems and one was under my guy i moved him to side then i icked up gems moved my miner back to same spot same direction everything he had about 9 ore in a matter of 3 min Anyone else come to this conclusion???? Maby someone can figure out something? A Formula is all it is probably but I'm horrible at making formulas so good luck guys

i say you do both..meaning..if u have low rated gold ores..throw them out so that you will have more space in your bag. if you get a gem..store it in warehouse and sell the gold you aquired from the mining trip..because it is very painful getting to the mines if its in dc, pc, or ac and vice versa..unless you are a water with DH or have wind scrolls. but its all up to u man..u have 10+ miners..this increases your chances of getting a gem. good luck..hope i helped a bit..prolly not but whatever
