Yes...

After years i avoided mining, i'm forced to start a mining career. (I'm on Toulan, i would like to craft some low lvl key but i miss sunburst ingots).

It is some time i'm thinking to start a log, and i think mine log can be useful to start miners, because i have no skills.

I 'll post here a summary of runs and i'll update a google spreadsheet if someone likes to check my runs more deeply.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12LfqtGEAdxTYXduewh3r4bYLvwG2iUS3D9dgtdM_MZc/edit?usp=sharing


My run is already started, and i'm writing right while i'm extracting a nice lysterium find (damn. .. i needed sunburst not lyst... i hope lootius will ear me better next time :p )

I'll do only planetside runs and not amped, and i'll try to avoid full mobs lands.

MY starting Skills-Actual Skills:
Drilling: 346 - 361
Geology: 495 - 594
Metallurgy: 15 - 31
Mining: 335 - 830
Prospecting: 396 - 630
Surveying: 426 - 436

OverAll
Costs:1685
TT Return:2045
Total Loss/Gain:360 ped - 121%
Total Loss/Gain with MU:476 - 128%

I've thought about the last bad run, and i'm wondering if i should stop or change place after 10-20 probes burned with no loot.


Anyway, a good run, short (i cant stay up late on workdays) but... i still miss my ore for crafting :D

Cheers

The answer is no :)

You stop if you're not hitting any MU. That's all. You are very brave to be mining on Toulan!

I'll change spots/servers/domes.... And even change planets, if the area I'm in just isn't yielding a good hit rate after 10-12 drops or I'm not finding the resources i'm there for. It really just depends.

But that's probably why some people achieve 90% returns and others can do better.
 
Hello,
i'm back i was a little lazy and didn't write anything but i did some mine runs.

Not so good as first one but i'm still in green. I think it is time now to change Finder.

Prologue
I did 2 mining runs on caly, 50 peds first and 72 peds second.

Nothing special, i was looking for Cumbriz because i needed it for some crafting, and i found it, but also a bad return.
Second run i was doing the mining mission on rextel isle and this time i found some items with 125%mu, not enough to make it a + but this is the way..

Runs #6-#7
Costs/Decay
Probe: 80+72
Finder: 0.51+0.71
Excavator: 0.37

Resource tt: 90.32 (26.64+65.68)
Resource with MU: 95.88 (i used mu a trader pays on Caly)


TT Return: 69.33%
Return after MU: 73.36%
Gain/Loss: -33.28
Gain/Loss after MU: -27.72

I need a deeper finder, i'm thinking to F103 or Finder F211 (L). or Ziplex Z5 (L) because on these i'm maxed.



As usual it is reported in the shared spreadsheet

Cheers :)

hello,
i didn't mine a lot these months.

but time to time i bought 10$ boxes and mined with UA i got from them.

there was nothing special till this morning, after a few probes i hit a little HOF, 309ped of caldorite on Ark (surface and unamped).

you can read all runs i did here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12LfqtGEAdxTYXduewh3r4bYLvwG2iUS3D9dgtdM_MZc/edit#gid=0

i apologize but i'm too lazy to copy on this post cost/decay of last few runs :)

but i'll update the first post with global costs and loot.

Cheers

:)
