EVENT ENDED Winner is stevie vai. 12 ped taxback and 415 ped jackpot

The Ministry's Mining Meadow presents:
Taxback mining event! + Jackpot
Get your tax (3.9%) back in sequential order.

Event start: 29-3 18:00 Calypso time
Event end: 29-6 18:00 Calypso time

Level 1 :Global between 50-100 ped = 4 ped back
Level 2: Global between 100-200 ped = 8 ped back
Level 3: Global/Hof between 200-300 ped = 12 ped back + 16 ped bonus
Level 4: Global/Hof between 300-900 ped = 20 ped back
Level 5:Uber > 1000 = 40 ped back + 50 ped bonus

So you work your way through the levels. Payout is possible from level 2. If you ask for a payout, you have to start at level 1 again.
Full level up pays: 4+8+12+16+20+40+50 = 150 ped
But: it is sequential, meaning you have to get the globals in the right order.
for example a level 1 global, followed by a level 2 and a level 3 global is elegible for the bonus. you get 40 ped for that. when payout is done, you start at level 1 again.
starting with an uber will not pay anything!

To participate: Post your screenshot of your global, with timestamp and global message and coords in this thread and you will begin leveling up.

Jackpot: each confirmed/authenticated global posted here will add 5 ped to the Jackpot.
The highest loot posted here within the time limit and the sequential rules wins the Jackpot

Jackpot is 415 ped: winner is Steve Stevie Vai

Note: Mining at OLA43 does require some armor or mine with a vehicle. There are Mourner and a scarce spawn of neconu there. You could also ask for help at the #miningescort channel

Ok some incentive... JACKPOT DOUBLED.
 
Mining event, 200 ped jackpot to start with!
 
Take that screenshot and win!
 
Went up there and tried, burned up 2 lvl7 amps and a 3 or 4 lvl 2 light amps the other day. But unfortunately my mining luck sucks lately largest find I could get was a X and a bunch of IX and way to many V's and don't forget those NRF's.

But to be fair I couldn't get crap on FOMA or at a few other planet side places mining either.

Interesting event idea though I just have no luck in me lately.

IX is completely normal for level 7 though, and since you only dropped 2, I wouldn't expect anything bigger :(

I've dropped 5-6 level 5s planetside and not found anything higher than a VIII (and level 5 takes a lot more drops to burn through), it's completely normal nowadays. HOFs/Globals are quite rare. Also burned 4 level 5s in AU and only hit 1 or 2 globals.

And yep, I see a lot of NRFs in OLA43, but usually the markup compensates. My main issue is the mourners. The density is suffocating. I haven't been able to mine OLA43 at all ever since the density went back up so high. I don't like froghopping with the sleip, the mourners basically control where I can and can't drop.

The Density is slowly coming down.. On Thursday I am holding a hunting event to help get the density down some more. You could also ask for help at the #miningescort channel. If available, a hunter will escort you and shoot any attacking mobs off your back so you can do your mining. When I am online I will always help out.
But you are right.. the situation is not ideal for mining atm. Working on it.

Don't know how I feel about the escorting thing, there are just too many mourners I wouldn't want to put anyone through being my personal bushwhacker.

But definitely looking forward to the lower density! Please keep us updated.
 
Quadrupling the original start of the jackpot to 400 ped!

If no screenshots of any global hits this thread this week I will assume my event was not interesting enough for the miners and event will be closed.


If you are a miner and have some feedback for me, feel free to post in here. I am new at landownership and am willing to learn. I do know miners don't like mobs, and I am looking into getting mobs that have lower aggro, because I do want to have mobs on the land. Density is still reducing, we had an event last evening which helped.

Well, people enjoy their convenience nowadays, so not having a TP terribly close by is a deterring factor.

Friendlier mobs would definitely be good, but one thought I had is maybe you could cycle 2-4 weeks where you focused on hunting, and 2-4 weeks when you focused on mining events, brought the density down super low, etc. Though I don't know how much trouble this would cause you.

I hit up 43 just now, spent most of my time flying in circles looking for safe zones to drop down for a single drop, (maybe two if I was lucky). The mourners are definitely down, but combined with the exarosaurs and occasional neconu it's still treacherous territory. Couldn't drop/carpet any of the spots I wanted to. And I'm still not comfortable with being escorted, but that's just me I guess.

Average MU was 109.41% on my (very short) run. And that was with a lot of TT food in the mix. And zero typonolic (which is unusual).

I've seen average MUs as high as 120-130% here in the past (this was back when the mourners were even lower, so I could mine the way I wanted for the most part).

Assuming 86% TT return (4% tax) it's still a profitable area on a good day.

These are just my thoughts. Other miners may have very different reasons. Hopefully they speak out!

Density is coming down every day. The exarosaur dna will be destroyed in 4 days time.

Part of it is the Mourner density. Personally though, MU is really high in some of my favorite areas. It would take a lot to pull me away from spending my time there, or else MU on some resources not in your area would need to drop. You do have a good mix of resources like Typo (haven't hit it in my last few quick runs there). Azur Pearls also pops up often for me, but MU has crept down on that again. It could just be timing combined with a more involved event structure. I personally like it, but I've just had to focus elsewhere.

I concur with most of this. Azur prices dropping have hurt 43 a lot. Typo irregularity mixed in with heavy amounts of lyta dust makes for a risky run when you factor in the 4% tax. But I still find it worth the occasional trip (especially if there's a fun event and not too many bloodthirsty mourners).

Will definitely check it out again next time I'm on Caly, seems like the density is coming down nicely!

3 days left, This could be an interesting event if someone decides to global on my land.. 405 peds if no one else posts..
 
Looks like I'll throw my hat in after trying out a couple of amps. 67 ped Solis Beans. Couldn't get the time stamp in the global screenshot, so I have separate images this time:

I wouldn't worry too much, just keep bumping your thread. I have a feeling in the last day or two you will see a lot of activity :laugh:

Will try to stop by after I catch a warp to Caly.

By the look of Aces screenshot, density seems to be prime for mining!

Indeed. It's still thick in some areas, but I could usually find a place to land. The outskirts of the LA where I got this global seem a little less dense.

I'm betting others will come out of the woodwork as the close approaches. One way to avoid this in the future would be to require people to post their global within so many hours of hitting the claim (maybe 48 hours). I'm not sure if that's worthwhile or not because on one end it would show activity and maybe encourage others to join in knowing there isn't someone with a big set of globals just waiting to submit at the end. The risk with that though is that if someone gets a bunch of big claims right away, it might discourage others from joining in. All things to weigh.

Personally I would prefer as low as 12-24 hours. But yes this also might discourage activity.
 
Did the best I could Spawn! Decided to call it a day after this, I have a creeping suspicion someone will post their globals at the last second :silly2: Funny enough I guess no time restriction on posting can be a deterring factor as well.

Also funny story, alt tabbed while mining to post this and I died from a random mourner spawn... Left my sleip spawned there. Luckily I had a TP chip. If not I would have been royally screwed since there's no storage terminal @ 43. Just something to keep in mind I guess... Don't know what it costs to add a storage terminal to your revival station.

Also just an afterthought: Density is still a little too high for my liking. Had a bunch of close calls. Couldn't find a decent wide patch of open land to carpet. That was the only reason I chose to search Ore+Enmatter (for all you miners who probably think I'm an idiot :p)
