In my experience (and I write it down all
) ...... I mostly use the 106 but I'm sure it works te same on other finders.
This is what I wrote about depth enhancers at the first page ....
Depth Enhancers
Adding enhancers to your finder(s) will let you find deeper stuff.
Every level you unlocked on your finder will allow you to go 7,43% deeper, so this is different on every finder
For the F-105, with a average depth of 522,4 putting a enhancer into (any slot) will give you another 38,2 depth, enhancers in any 2 different slots will give you 38,2 * 2 = 74,4 depth more
For the F-106, with a average depth of 582,1 putting a enhancer into (any slot) will give you another 43,3 depth, enhancers in any 2 different slots will give you 43,3 * 2 = 86,6 depth more
You can check the depth of all enm/ores/trea at LBMB but when checking this with your own statistics it might be different.
This is because you might be mining on a different planet and/or different server.
Remember the squares on the LMBM map? Those are the different servers you are mining on.
Enhancers do play a big role in your return.
Example :
When I go mining for zinc in "my" spot ... my best return for zinc and average is F-106 + lvl 1+2 enhancers.
A friend, also equipped with the F-106 on "his" spot for zinc, but on another server, is having a better return and average with lvl 1+2+3 enhancers.
Another way to use depth enhancers is :
If I'm in a zone with lots of high mu resources, that mostly have a deeper average depth, I use a lot more enhancers.
Now let's check this for megan with an average depth of 920 and was found (so far) at even at 1518 depth
In this case I use my F-106 with 8 depth enhancers. This makes me find anything between 600-1350 depth ^^
With using more depth enhancers you don not only go deeper BUT you are also making your search "bubble" bigger.
With the F106 the average depth is 582,1 so without enhancers I would find stuff between around 382,10-782,1 (from time to time you will get an exception of a claim that is much higher of deeper)
Now when I use depth enhancers I see that (I call it my bubble) is getting bigger BUT only going down more so I find stuff between 580-1186 depth with 7 enhancers so I loose depth above the average.(I mean the normal average of the finder cause with the enhancers you are shifing it downwards) My "bubble is around 400 without the enhancers like with all finders but now with the enhancers its around 600)
So for High end ores with high mu, first you need to find them, then go deeper and deeper to get your finding % up. This is harder than the normal ores cause respawn time might be slower ^^ I also believe those are still capped and you can find only a few / day or even /week. Need to ask a friend miner for that cause he is going for those ores only on a daily base.
