Mining isn't or, at least, shouldn't be based on luck. The whole economy or wannabe economy of Project Entropia has its backbone in mining, which is the main source for crafters.

Let's take as an example the iron. Is maybe the most used ore in crafting. How can a crafter makes some plans in sales/skilling if he can't predict in reasonable terms the availability of iron? How can we have good armours and good weapons available on large scale if the miners can't mine scientificall?

And other questions. What would I teach a disciple in mining? "Go out there, throw bombs and maybe u will be lucky?". I should be able to tell him "go to that area, in those intervals and u will have a minimum income of this ore, which u can sell to that avatar or to the other one". The HoF was always a matter of luck (as an example Zefram, who drove me crazy one evening with 8 globals in 2-3 hours). We talk about the average income, about the average spawn of ores. And of course about the skills (and yes, Panther, if u use an unmastered ore finder, u WILL get perception/geology each 3-4 bomb). How can I use perception, how can I use geology, how can I use prospection?

Blah, I am go hunting.
If i use a finder that i don`t master?maybe the new ones...atm i have no learning bonus on 104 series and below....this is crappy...and no....i don`t wanna go hunting because mining is jinxed...if i want to go mining i want to do it with a little hope...same for hunting...not like now...yesterday...took me no more than 1.5h to make 100 ped vanish.talk about skill?nope..talk about places?nope...bad luck?what is bad luck in a game?a string that says : "//panther will loose 100 ped today if he does lift a finger"...?i`m not upset...i don`t understand some things...just that...

laster edit:

Lost more than 100 ped in a day..so i`m used to it...just that i`m not sure better days will come...that`s all
