Alright. We've all seen the more-ped-than-mine-experiments on these forums, delivered to you by some highly experienced players. It's time for something different now! I bring to you the 100 ped n00b experiment!
Although I have been around in the game since about beta-time, I have never really mined much, or done anything at all much. Well, in all fairness, I did unlock BPC, but other from that I pretty much suck at everything (and some of those skills were bought :P). I am a casual player, I don't know the spots to mine, I don't know the tactics for good return. In short, I am your average b00n! Skills Geology: 200 Mining: 240 Prospecting: 215 Equipment 100 + 10 ped for bombs, auction fee and expenses OreFinder OF-102 (ASD: 132.2/160.8) Genesis Star Earth Excavator ME/01 (ExEf: 5.5/6.8) Chikara Mineral Refiner MR100 First trip: TT-Value: 106.99 Market value: 137.17 Auction fee: -3.1 Old Balance: 110 New Balance: 145.90 Note: Any spare ores that wouldn't be refined are still in my inventory. The biggest finds were two medium ones. I also got two small. Other than that I mostly found very poor or poor spots. A good start though! The next trip may be in a day or so, or perhaps next week. I'll revive this thread after that. |

Alright. I've finished my second mining trip. Unfortunately, this one didn't go quite as well as the first one. I'm happy to report my ASD is steadily increasing though!
Skills: Geology: 217 Mining: 282 Prospecting: 253 Equipment 100 bombs OreFinder OF-102 (ASD: 140.7/160.8) Genesis Star Earth Excavator ME/01 (ExEf: 5.7/6.8) Second trip: TT-Value: 77.16 Market value: 93.14 Other: -4.20 Total: -11.6 Old Balance: 145.90 New Balance: 135.72 Lessons learnt from this run: stay away from that CERTAIN place that is crowded with nothing and some lyst. I am also getting the hang of the auction system a little better now. I've decided to try to sell my ores more face to face in Twin Peaks. |

The experiment continues. Mining run no. 3 was a wild success! Ten bombs into the session, I got myself a nice global worth 95 ped. Hooray for me!
Skills: Geology: 233 Mining: 374 Prospecting: 284 Equipment 100 bombs OreFinder OF-102 (ASD: 148.2/160.8) Genesis Star Earth Excavator ME/01 (ExEf: 6.3/6.8) Second trip: TT-Value: 205.8 Market value: 291 Other: -5.14 Total: 285.86 Old Balance: 135.72 New Balance: 321.58 Please note that I have some peds worth of resources that are not big enough quantities to sell yet. They will be added when more of the same kind is found. All in all, the experiment is going ABOVE expectations. I have almost tripled up! |

Good luck - you seem to be doing well so far
![]() One question - you said in post 1, that you had never mined, and although you are an experienced player, you're a noob at mining and don't know the best techniques. I'd be interested to know if you are using any technique at all. I mean presumably you're not just dropping all your bombs/probes in the same spot. Other than that, are you just dropping randomly, and hoping, or is there any system? |

To clarify a bit. I have dropped a couple of bombs before this experiment started, but most of that happened many years ago, and the returns sucked intensely. I probably dropped 1-200 bombs, at most.
As for now, I am using a system, yes. I look at the map in search of an area that looks "welcoming". I travel there to check out what mobs I will meet, and hopefully they turn out to be daikibas and the like. I then proceed to cover the designated area in a circle-kind-of-motion. If I am at top left corner of my selected area, I head south until the edge, then east, then north, then west. An "area" is not always the same as a player owned Land Area. I tend to meet a lot of other competition in the LAs, so will be avoiding them more and more. As for bomb frequency, I only double bomb if I find something large (in my eyes), such as a IX find. My search range is 54 meters, so I try to always run 108 meters between bombs, to maximize range. I'm also keeping a close track on all different kinds of finders between trips. I will aim to use the finder which brings me the highest ASD. Hope this helps. It's worked for me - so far! Good luck! |

Gratz on the global and good luck for the rest of experiment!
Seems like you are much more lucky in mining than I am ![]() |
