there was no merge

its pretty exactly the same i wrote in my main guide (see signature)

the guide you wrote for the contest is still there, but in another sub forum
it is in the entropiaforum one, under tutorial contest

mine was moved to the stickies, since i won the contest, without any phrases coming from yours
there was no need to, since i covered the same (and more) areas than you, even with screenies, whats partially the reason because i won i guess?

however, if i take statistics, pictures, from other players, especially from EF, i tend to ask before i do, and mention it in the guide as well (see guide in signature, crafting)

if you can tell me where they were merged, i would be surprised ^^

Nice guide Alice,, as allways

Im not verry experienced with mining but are getting more and more questions about it from disciples so I will start mine to get some knowledge and be able to help them. Your guides have been alot of help for both me and my disciples, big +REP!

10x for the guide , but i still think mining is kinda riskier than hunting

[Elandil]

yes and no, you can do hunting longer that mining for the same investment

[Alice]

well, depends

planting a probe costs around 1 ped basically

killing a trox as well i guess


oki, you won't start with troxes as newbie most likely, but still

mining can be cheaper "per try" (killing mob or planting bomb) than hunting, or more expensive (kill a hogglo)

overall it depends on what you want :=)

does it go like this... better finder u have the more deeper u find (only) and leave the deposits that are lower to ppl with noobie equipment...
coz mostly found my deposits at 600m+ depth very rare if found under 600m

coz when i had my mining skills and 212 finder i dropped some bombs no resource found and 10sec later a dude goes the same spot i just bombed and gets a global... and i think that noob didnt have more skills than i..

maybe that would be easy to test.. first u drop with better finder then u drop with tt finder to the same spot.. never had peds to waste this kinda experiment but maybe someone can light me a little :F

Same for me, I made a theory of that, the 53Metres of what ever your finder searches is in radius,

When I use OF105 or Ziplex 20 Oreseeker I find nothing between 0 to 500 Metres, I allways find stuff deeper than that,


But after you found a claim with an OF105 try put a bomb with your tt finder, you will also find something just 2 metres away from your original claim.. So my theory it goes in radius..

Or how ever to explain

I have tried numerous places to mine. I have been doing it since I started playing 4 weeks ago. So far I have deposited 500 PED and haven't had to deposit since. Enmatter works well for my low lvl but now it seems I am starting to loose my a$$.

NE mountain range from Argus works well for me. Usually I can go there and make a profit. Other places ( not going to name ) also work well for me. However, the finds are drying up. I am running out of places to go. Basically I am looking for suggestions. Find more places? Can someone help a newbie? Go ore?

Wanted to hold off on the ore for a bit. Allready starting to have my a$$ handed to me. I am bored. I want excitement. Now I would appreciate some advice
