Yay- I like the change it will shoot scripters in the foot...

or

Nay- I don't like the change, it will just make things more rare...

It sounds interesting. I need to get out and try mining in KR to see if I like it or not .

Vepl

definitely no, but its a moot point, the changes are going in. So much for discussion.

Ok here you go:

Ok I was just on test center 1 for the last hour and a half. Testing the new resource changes. I just tested mining at this time:

Test was done with a human with 120 Blacksmithing, 120 Tinkering, 100 Mining using pickaxes/shovels for a total of 1000 mining attempts. Just stripped mined walking the ore(iron) as I went.

Just mined for ore not stone. And I did not care what size ore pile I got, I counted each ore size as 1 hit no matter the size.

1000 mining attempts yielded:

873 Iron hits yielding 1775 ingots

49 Dull Copper hits yielding 96 ingots
15 Shadow hits yielding 28 ingots
3 Copper hits yielding 6 ingots
10 Bronze hits yielding 18 ingots
28 Gold hits yielding 56 ingots
16 Agapite hits yielding 24 ingots
6 Verite hits yielding 6 ingots
0 Valorite hits yielding 0 ingots

Also pulled 2 blue diamonds, 2 ercu citrine, 1 fire ruby

Gonna reload and run it again will post back on second run. Also I did not see any other miner out on my initial run.

Ok Second Run: (about 2 hours later than first run)(Same set up as before exact same area(s) mined):

1000 mining attempts yielded:

833 Iron hits yielding 1693 ingots
64 Dull Copper hits yielding 139 ingots
26 Shadow hits yielding 51 ingots
12 Copper hits yielding 22 ingots
10 Bronze hits yielding 20 ingots
25 Gold hits yielding 46 ingots
23 Agapite hits yielding 46 ingots
7 Verite hits yielding 11 ingots
0 Valorite hits yielding 0 ingots

Also pulled 1 blue diamond, 1 dark sapphire, 2 turquoise, 1 fire ruby

By looking at this i would say you will soon be able to sell metal resources again.
