Why mining is better.

i hate the whole idea of having to wait another freaking time to get random ores after all that freaking wait i just did via drilling.. such a waste of time

they should just drop an ore and decide exp from the ore quality

Also, digging is versatile. You could not only be digging, but you could be picking up trash, getting mushrooms, and even pk'ing and getting bodyparts while you dig.

I mine on pc and I get at least 500 iron every 2 weeks.

Im trying to get to around level 50 or so by next summer, i doubt i can do it since im busy most weekends

Goodluck

Level 100 0.3 sec to mine a rock

It's all about the $$$$$$$$ at level 100.

Who has the highest mining level recorded?

^I thought it was 600 or 160 or something with a 6.

If rocks were already minerals, it would be better than digging, but the fact that you have to put all your rocks in a machine is what makes mining a slow job.
