Amp's?

[Queen]

Well since my reader dont work i thought i would do a little ranting;
I like to mine ore's alot now and found now that i have cga and my skills are pretty fair i do good without amps.
So i thot to myself mabey if i got a amp my finds would be better and i get better profiet.
To my dismay my finds where smaller and fewer, i found that with a amp i get alot less and much smaller finds.
Im begining to think this is a bug or amp's dont work anymore just something else to wast money on.
After that awful run with a amp where my finds where like tiny, small, medium.
I took amp off and did same run same spot my finds where small, abundant, modest, sizeabile.
very very strange, i was useing a or-211 fully trained on am also fullytrained on a or-213 so my skills are fair.
So are amp's not working anymore i know there is no real proof they work in the first place?
oh i had a 103 ore amp. not that it makes a diff.., but still i should have found better finds then that.

Hello,

I recently created a thread on the same subject.
Maybe you can find some information there ...

Bigger Amp = Less Claims ?

Dont use Amps, I have thought this same thing time and time again. 3 mining globals one hoff, and only 1 of the globals was amp'd. Amps are just to make MA more money on the off chance that if does work at the exact time you hit a claim. Mining Amp's lose decay whether you hit a claim or not. Kinda strange if you think about it. It loses decay and it didnt even work to do anything. No claim should = no decay on the Amp as it didnt do anything. Now I could see if the amp's also added to search radius, or depth...yeah then I could see it decaying each and every bomb/probe. Crafting residue is used to increase the tt value of the item being crafted, Mining Amps are used to increase the tt value of a mining claim. Crafting residue isnt used up on a failed click. Hmmmmm. I posed this question in a crafting thread, and of course I got flamed for it...No big surprise there. But in case some of you dont read the crafting threads, there is a bit of information for you all.

If you wanna find more rare items like
.dunkel
.binary
.blood moss
.vegetarian spores
.gold
.and that stuff

..... you just need an amp. If not the deposit will be to small to be detected.

If you just wanna find common just keep mining unamped.

GL out there and dont mine around me - pls.

I found all those without a amp, finding rare ores is skill and location.

Ive never had a bad run with amps.. neither on eudoria/amethera/CND
just yesterday i went 80ped + on 104bomb run (amped with a 28ped OA-101 & 34ped OA-102)

You are on something here (keeps bugging me with a parallel with the former "minimal" deposits of kanerium which pained me alot before meteor) but one should balance the overall expanses on amps versus the brute quantity of rare stuff found. If you have 1 sizable of gold per month, that's not worthy imo, is just a merely +200 peds compared to what you spend on amps.

In a pvp4 mining round it only take a few blood moss (or other with a +1k% markup) to make the round proffitable.
