I just want to gm mining so I can get better results when smelting weapons/armor, so I'm trying to keep away from mining as much as possible

Also... do valorite/shadow/verite etc. have special properties or they just "look l33t"?

Where would be a good place to use this macro, hiicha? I tried using it in the minoc mines, but the ore there runs out dry pretty quick! Would a mountain side be better?hiicha wrote:What I did was grabbed 5 shovels and made a macro to double-click a shovel, then target the ground right next to me (if I was south of the mountains, i would click north of me, clicking flat ground so theres no Z axis involved). Do it for each shovel, then just loop it and walk by the mountains stopping to dump your ore whenever your weight is maxed It helps if your also a tinker so you can just make shovels on the fly.
Probably GMed mining in about 5-6 hours this way, Matron said he was able to GM in 4.

I did it just southwest of britain, as if you're heading to the crossroads. Something like this: By the time you get to the end, you recall back to the beginning and ore has already spawned. Hell by the time you get halfway, ore should be respawning, and there are a lot of 7x7's with smiths on the porch you can use. Or just dump your ore if you don't care. You won't find any of the really rare ore here, but its good enough to just get your skill up.Sufferings wrote:Where would be a good place to use this macro, hiicha?

Also.. when you say "Pause .5", its 500 between each shovel, right? and they all hit the same spot?
That is VERY helpful! with screenshot and everything!hiicha wrote:I did it just southwest of britain, as if you're heading to the crossroads.

And yes, 500 between each shovel. You can mine with several shovels at once (works the same for lumberjacking) so you can increase your output in less time. Faster mining = faster you break shovels, so bring plenty (or tinker.)
Yes, shovels work just like mortars in regards to using multiple ones at once. You end up with the same amount of ore as if you were mining with only one shovel, except its 5x faster.Zane wrote:So to be clear here... Shovels work like mortars? More then 1 can be used at a time? Or does this just interrupt and it's for the sole purpose of skill gain and you just wind up with some ore here and there?
Oh my god... I've wasted soooo much time mining.hiicha wrote:Yes, shovels work just like mortars in regards to using multiple ones at once.

What tool are you using to chop? I tried using this method with 5 hatchets but only the one equiped in hand workshiicha wrote: You can mine with several shovels at once (works the same for lumberjacking) so you can increase your output in less time.
Well, its not "exactly" the same, but you can keep using the same axe while its still "chopping."Sufferings wrote:What tool are you using to chop?
