 | Re: Gems from Mining I mine the southern mountains inside Delucia from the wall near the stables to the cave entrance. In one pass I got 4 gems. What level of mining skill do you have? mine is 105 (100 real & +5 mining gloves) Seems odd that you aren't pulling gems. Do you mine until there is no ore left at each spot? You will not get the gem right off, it may be one of the last things you get.  Sonoma Archer...Adventurer...Miss Congeniality |

| Re: Gems from Mining It seems to be kind of a luck thing... some people are getting 10 in an hour...but then they can't pull up another one for 3 hours. Some people can barely pull them up at all. I do think you need GM mining though..   |

| Re: Gems from Mining I've mined a total of about 2 hrs since ML and have gotten 2 Torquoise, 1 Diamond and 2 of a kind I can't remember offhand, all were mined in Illshenar around Spirituality Shrine. Also use regular picks and only have GM mining with no type of bonus. |

| Re: Gems from Mining During beta, this had no significant impact. This is all anecdotal since I didn't so exhaustive studdies, but i didn't note a difference, with or without it set to rock. I also tried mining and fishing in a high luck suit. That didn't seem to make a difference either. Sonoma Archer...Adventurer...Miss Congeniality |

| Re: Gems from Mining You have to have GM mining. After that it's all random.  Quote:
