Mining Observations
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 7:43 pm
Well id like to say, awesome idea for a server.
Now onto the meat of this post, mining:
Okay so I noticed i am getting a max of 32 ore from a single spot but it is random sometimes how much I get. That could be due to not having high enough skill to get colored ore yet, but if I recall correctly there used to be around 16 ore for each spot. Also the way that the different ore sizes combine doesnt seem to corispond to my memories of mining on osi. From looking at stratics they seem to have the correct ore size info from what i can remeber, and from what i recall when you combined a small ore with a big ore it would become one pile of small ore with the same amount of total ignots. Also i got 197 big ore from two shovels when im certain that the shovels in t2a could only get exactly 51 count of ore max, including big and small ore, per shovel or pickaxe.
Also theres a small tip section on the miner profession with what seems like "old school" mining advice, http://uo.stratics.com/content/professi ... er.shtml#2.
Ill quote it here:
"Some things you need to know: respawned caves will generate 16 big ore, cliffs vary, and dungeons can spawn 16+. Mining tools are good for 51 successful mining attempts. Shovels are not equipable and can be created by player tinkers, but pickaxes can be equipped as weapons (and are only available from NPC's). A container can hold 20 big ore.

Im not sure what you guys took into consideration for the mining system but it doesnt seem to be accurate. Oh and if you did these changes on purpose can you post that info somewhere so people dont get confused? Thanks for reading this. OH and 1 skill tinkers dont start with tinker tools, and tinker tools break but they didnt before.
