so like this has been bugging me since i hit lvl 12 in mining. how come every other job in era gets these cool hats and trash picks or mushroom knifes and stuff. but miners get absolutly nothing. i mean at least a mining hat would satisfy me. or even a new drill but seriously stop with the whole every other job gets all this and miners get nothing. it bothers me.
We had updates planned for mining but they've been pushed back.
What you can expect in the future:
*Mining Drill Skins
*Hats
*Achievements
yassssssss thank god! are the drill skins like gold copper and stuff like that or just colors?? and are the achivements like 1 ec every time u lvl? :D and how soon will the mining update take place?
Yay im also happy but he said you can expect in the FUTURE

This was the actual thread I made that we discussed possible updates to mining. I knew the updates wouldn't happen for awhile, but can't wait when they do :3

They aren't worthed on earning money because of those macros (auto mining) so they are only used for upgrading weapons. I already quit mining on level 5 since (1500 rocks to level up) :'(Quote:

and with the drill skins. is the whole drill gonna change color or just the red part that changes color?? and can u make a meter for the drill so we know when our drill batteries die? and also make it so we can buy multiple batteries??
No drill skins, Howl will come in and make an update on the Drill, please no. There should be a meter of the battery to know if it'll die or not.
I was thinking of multiple batteries, too.
drill skins will be amazing. i dont like my drill lookin like everyone elses '-'
There's no use for a drill skin, that'll be completely useless.Quote:

yass more rocks to put in the machine would be great
3 rocks is max. Like there are losses also for example. You inserted 3 rocks and gave you 2 minerals. I wish there's also a chance for more minerals.
3 rocks isnt max.. 10 is max when u hit lvl 24. the amount u grind goes up until u hit lvl 24 then it stops at grinding 10 at a time.
It's awesome to hear something like that!Quote:

P.S not many admins do jail macro users. Even after moving macro guy away from the wall.
While Mining is a hot topic I guess it's a good time to reintroduce this thread to everyone showing how long it takes to get to each level, your mining speed for each level, and how many rocks you'll be mining over that time.
http://www.era-go.com/forum/showthre...ng-Level-Guide
It says going from level 50 to 51 will take the longest as your fast mining speed will actually outpace the extra rocks added for going to the next level.
Also, if you actually do make it to level 100 you'd have spent about 1500 hours mining.
1493 hours 42 minutes 30 seconds
Not even remotely true, you will spend a lot longer. Number 1: no one drills at the perfect millisecond, Number 2: if you aren't going slow, cheating, or macroing it's impossible to not get some "Nothing here to mine" messages that slow you down, #3 Lag messes everything up so you end up doing a lot of waiting for lag to clear out, #4 There's a finite amount of time to change drilling spots after a rock in completed, and #5 the biggest thing overlooked: your batteries last shorter and shorter amounts of time and you have to leave the mine more and more frequently to buy a battery.
And here's the biggest kicker: Level 0 ~500 gralats and hour, level 50 ~1K gralats and hour, Level 75 ~2K gralats an hour, All that time spent mining (years) just to get to an hourly rate of what a noob doing mushrooms, trash, and mail or pizza can do from day 1. When you think about what you would have gotten if you spent the same time doing mail, mushrooms, and trash or pizza it will be a long time at high levels (>75) before you make back what you could have gotten just doing normal stuff all the time you spent couped up in some mine drilling to get to level 75 and higher. And if you spent that time digging shells and think about what you could have gotten with all those trochus, why would you ever mine?
