Title: Mining Time items?
Post by: UberPWNZ0R on January 04, 2007, 05:01:44 AM
Im wondering if its even working? :21:
If it will work, anyone know how it will work?
ie. +14 means that i will get 14 turns for mining?
I have 38 active and when i mine im loosing turns as usual :P

Sorry if it was posted but i cant find it, search function doesnt seem to work well.

i believe it does 1 of two things.

1. gives you more material per turn by the said amount
2. takes away some required turns for mining (down to a minimum of 1 turn). so if you have an item for +15, and you spend 30 turns, you only lose 15 turns.

these are just my theories. I've never mind with a mining time item on, so I don't know.

And remember, items do not stack, so 38 active items in mining means you have effects for 38 different mining attempts, not 38 for 1 mining attempt.

OK this is easy.  each item is mined in batches of 250.  it says how many turns it takes to mine a batch under each item. So if you have an item that is for +15 turn and you mine 250 diamonds at 17 turns you only use 2 turns.  or you can mine 4000 carbon for 1 turn. see easy

Now i see, too bad they are not stacking. I was simply mining to much to see effect. Now i have to mine a lot of 250 chunks of diamonds to use those 1-10 turn items :D

Mining is usefull when you dont have time and turns are maxed. Also when some commander skill is very high, mining might be cheaper than tons of cp. :21:

true, but I'm far from either of those points (all I have is time, and I'm lvl 50, lol, I have plenty of room left to grow my commander skills). But thanks for that little tip, I'll keep it in mind should that time come.
