Yes... Here comes another mining log...
I know that there are already a lot of mining logs on EF, but only a few of them are really interesting and provide usefull data - I'll do my best and hope that after 5-6 months someone will also be able to say it about my log.
Why do I start a mining log?:
Because I can and want to...
What goals do I want to achieve?:
Well, this is rather ment to be a mining diary, than a project that sets some goals and is considered finished after they are met. So I dont set any certain goals, maybe apart from one - having fun There are some milestones that I'd like to reach and some things that I want to achieve as a miner, but I'm sure with time they'll change, so after finishing one goal, others will be set. Updated list of goals will be witten down in the bottom part of this post.
Who the hell is Kubroz???
Time to introduce myself. I joined EU almost 3 years ago, but I had 2 long breaks (around 4 and 6 months), so I'm Mr. Nobody I used to make regulary small depo's some time ago, but with current returns I doubt I'll make any deposits in the nearest future. This also means that I'd call my budget rather small - all that were looking for an uber mining log will be diappointed for sure. Currently I'm lvl 30 prospector and lvl 28 surveyor - unlocked Mineral Sense not long ago. Last 30-45 days my mining returns are so poor, that I even considered chiping all mining skills out - at the moment my runs are still far from beeing decent, so anything can happen in this log But one thing is certain - with or without skills, I'll be mining I'm also a trader, so I hope that if results will be really bad, I'll still be able to survive and recover the losses. I wont hide that I have a sight hope that starting a log would improve my mining returns - worked for most of blogers, so who knows
What's my equipment?
That will depend on my lvl and availible peds. At the moment I'm using of105 (tier 1) and tk120 (tier 6), but with time I plan to use different finders and compare the results. For enmatters I'm using eMINE EMF - altough I maxed it long ago I think it has decent average depth and so far I was rather lucky with this finder. If I wont chip out, I'll try better finders in the future for sure. For extracting I'll be using tt miner/driller and 104.
Will I be using amps?
If only I can afford them - yes! Wont use uber amps like oa/ma109, but I'll be using oa102-104, ma 103-106 whenever I can for sure. I'm addicted to swirles, so can't help myself - even when I lose big time I still continue going amped
Where will I mine?
Mostly Amethera. Eudoria has too many mobs for my taste, CND is too risky so I not plan mining there (altough it may change, who knows) and Rocktropia I'll probably never consider as a part of EU, so I wont mine there as well.
What tactics do I use?
"Fire in the hole!!!... tic...tic...tic... BOOOM!!!" Thats my whole tactics Maybe I'm not one of most experienced miners in game, but I've dropped some bombs and from my experience I can tell that there arent any patterns that could grant steady and certain profit. All the so called "This is the proof that XXX theory is correct" threads are way overrated in my opinion - somehow I dont see their authors on global chat often, so I think their theories arent worth much. Who do I see on global chat? Ppl that drop a lot of bombs and perisit even when they're badly screwed looking at their returns. So my only tactics is bomb&extract. I dont beleive in any mining theories that I've read on forum (the 95% return in the long run is in my opinion also just a myth), but I'd still try to look for some ingame clues on how and what to mine to optimise your returns and have fun at the same time. Probably I'll fail just like all the others, but let me be a dreamer for a short while
My current skill lvls
Drilling: 3514
Extraction: 2882
Geology: 3508
Ground Assesment: 1491
Mineral Sense: 299
Mining: 4234
Prospecting: 3917
Surveying: 3474
Targets:
1. 5000 ped profit
2. 500 globals
3. 100 hofs
4. Global on every ore (except rare ones)
5. Hof on every ore (except rare ones)
6. Find my first tower
7. Meet requirements for VRX2000 and max that finder.
8. Find my first Dunkel, Xeremite, Rugaritz, Tridentite.
Wish me luck
