owk i have seen many posts (not only this forum) about "gem spots"
first of all they don't exist imho BUT (y does there always have to be a bit ) there are some "tricks" to get them "faster".
- keep ur miner at the same spot (go to random place and remember the coords, direction of mining included)
- when you get a gem stay at the spot for 10-20 more minutes and then d/c and log back in and go again(if you went to warehouse to put ur gem in it)/stay at the same spot
- it seems that you get gems faster at mz mine and pc mine
- use multiple chars and let them mine at same spot
- use the same spot until it's server maintance
y do i believe this "tricks" work?
- it's like gambling: when you gamble on number x and keep gambling on it youre chance of winning increases each time (this can be applied for ref/super gems: if you get a normal gem youre chance increases that the next gem is ref/super)
- my friend and me mine like constant with these "tricks" and we get shitloads of gems (my most was 8 gems at a day)
another thing is to protect ur miners. how?
- having ur main char at the ladder, when a pker enters kill him/her
- logging off a water who can rev next to ur miners, also handy for transferring gems
basic info everyone should know:
- don't mine on first lvl of the mine ur in (unless in tc and mz where you can't )
- when u mine in tc don't mine by the mass (high chance of pkers) instead mine at north side of the mine, there are spots where the monsters won't come and pkers don't come there also, unless ur unlucky
rumours:
there are alot of rumours going on around mining
rumour: when ores are coming slow you have an increased chance of getting a gem
truth: when ur mining on a spot for a long time and drop ores you get ores slower (if you move you get ores faster again)
rumour: xxx,xxx at lvl x of x mine gives gems
truth: there are no "gem spots"
also ac mine and dc mine seem to give gold ores faster than other mines
hope this helps a bit
