Mining related stuff!

Post by Pocketcow »

First, I am new here but I really enjoy mining. I would be very interested in buying a 120 mining PS but I have no idea what they cost on this shard. I also don't have very much gold at the moment, so I will also be selling ingots and boards for the time being.

That said, if anyone needs any iron ingots, please contact me and I will be willing to sell whatever quantity you need. If it is a large amount, I will probably need some time to gather the materials, but I will do it.

Hello Pocketcow , Welcome to Excelsior!!

I think the 120 mining ps is one that is high in demand. So you it is harder to find and one of the higher priced ones. :(

You could also try setting up a shop to sell your resources if you have not already.

Figures. Anyone have an idea of the price range of that scroll? That's one of the few goals I even have.

Mining 120 PS will run you somewhere in the range of 250-500k on average. There have been some changes to the champs spawns and the average number of players on the shard has increased, so I expect the prices for all PS to start to climb in demand/cost.

A year ago i payed 1 mil for a 120 mining PS. if the prices are down below 500K then you are definitely in luck... but as mentioned above, changes to champ spawn/PS drop rates may affect the prices now.

Normally i buy ingots of all types.. however, with the proposal to make the mining locations semi random, there may no longer be any point in continuing buying ingots to do bods.. depending on the outcome, meaning, what Coli decides to do, i will either be leaving, or I will again start buying every ingot i can.
IF, the decision is made NOT to make changes to mining, then by all means, feel free to PM me with what you have for ingots and your prices and I will buy them from you, or anyone else. I am usually on either Kniteprince as my main char, or as Collen as my miner.

Sure, I would be happy to gather ingots for you. I highly doubt that the mining system is going to be changed based off of the poll results. I wouldn't get too upset about it.

Also, I am really new and I have no idea what any ores are worth other than iron. As for now, I am only a gm miner and I can't mine any of the "useful" ingots other than iron.

Just FYI, as i have seen many times, people don't read the first post that actually describes the good and the bad of the change... this is something I have noticed even back with the PvP poll, where people complained how they are against because they don't want to be PKd, which clearly shows that they didn't read that you would have to turn on the feature to even be able to PK, or be PKd. But that has been scrapped.

There will be a complete set of proposed changes posted, and the voting will be done by PM. Possibly with a few security added features, to make sure that those who vote, understand what they are voting for.

You are correct. I didnt read through everything I just followed past experience with other shards, including Mythics live UO and blew my lid after reading a few lines. i should have known you would be doing things differently in the attempt to make things better for everyone, not just for your wallet, like mythic does.
