    Mining or Pizza Making?

    If mining is more convenient that making other jobs is the most common question every graalian ask, it is very difficult to calculate, it takes some time, but here is the first answer to that question.

    I had calculated how many graalats per minute you can be getting by mining and by making pizzas, it is very difficult to calculate since it takes some time to do so, mining have a lot of levels so it is more complex.

    Everyone haves the impression that if you mine at level 60 you're literally a guy who don't have a life, and as well a person who is very rich on this game, but that's wrong (well, the second statement is wrong, the first statement might not be wrong).

    I don't know if my results may be good or bad, since i'm not sure if I haven't made any mistake on my calculations, if you want to take your time to actually check the calculations feel free, but let me warn you that it's a very long way to read.

    So back to the topic, it might seem a very good way to mine and all of that stuff, but no.

    By making pizzas you're getting 36 graalats per minute, and thats a lot considering that it's only a minute, and jobs on this game aren't that great compared to it's prizes that offers. But on the other side we got mining, it gives you 11 graalats per 1 minute and 30 seconds,.
    but that is on the level 4.

    Knowing that you get 36 graalats per minute on pizzas and 11 graalats per 3 rocks, we could assume that 1 rock gives you 3.6 graalats.

    Getting all that quantity is actually very low, but let's make a big jump to level 54, a high level, but the graalats are not so high as you think, 14 graalats per minute is not that much.

    But making a bigger jump to level 80 is where you actually find more graalats. Here, you are making 36 graalats per minute, the same quantity as pizza making, meaning that on level 80 or higher, you are making the best job on the game, but not everything is good since to reach there you have to waste 8 weeks and 8 hours of non-stoping mining, still a lot of work to do.

    But if you're that kind of player that really knows what a goal is and want to reach to level 99, you will be making 780 graalats per minute and 46800 graalats per hour, that's a lot. But again, you will take 8 weeks and 6 days to finish this.

    So, if you ever ask this question again, it's all about the player you are, if you set goals to your self to waste 8 weeks of mining, then actually you will be making some profit. But remember that there is always pizza making, who brings you a good deal.

    Calculations:
     Spoiler
    Pizzas:
    All of this calculations were made on the 4k veteran room, the best room for making pizzas.
    So starting off I will make a mean/average of all the graalats I get per pizzas;

    +7
    +8
    +10
    +8
    +9
    +7
    +9
    +8
    +9
    +6
    +8
    =89, and 11 sums were made.

    11/89=8

    So now we can say that we're making 8 graalats per pizzas.

    Now I have to find the average of the seconds I take to make a pizza, so we could calculate how many graalats we make per minute.

    +6.23
    +4.45
    +4.50
    +4.15
    +5.25
    +3.98
    +4.50
    +4.10
    =37.16, and 8 sums were made

    8/37.16=4.645

    With this we could say that for making pizzas it take 4.645.

    With this two calculations done, we could say that we get 8 graalats on 4.645 seconds, that's a lot considering it's 4.645 seconds but there is a timer that doesn't let you grab the table before 8 seconds, making the real statement be; You can make 8 graalats on 12.645 seconds.

    But now I would like to know how many graalats I make per minute. That is pretty easy to calculate, I would just have to multiply 12.646 times 5, but there is a problem since it gives me 1 minute and 3 seconds and a half. Considering that you make 8 graalats on 4 seconds without the timer, I would conclude that on the 3 extra seconds elapsed, I would had made 6 graalats, so I will subtract 6 graalats from the final result.

    So, that would mean that I make 34 graalats on 1 minute by just making pizzas.

    Since now we got our mathematical expression for making pizzas ready, we will switch to mining, the most tough thing to calculate.

    Before starting I would like to say that I had the following minerals on my inventory, so every extra mineral I found on my inventory will be subtracted from the old minerals I had;
    -72 coppers
    -4 diamonds
    -6 emeralds
    -8 golds
    -145 gypsums
    -61 leads
    -28 irons
    -125 cuartos
    -15 silvers
    -3 sapphires
    -5 rubys

    After this long boring list that most likely you had already forgotten, let's start with the calculations.

    For a level 4 miner, it takes 28.8 seconds to drill a rock.
    Here I will post every seconds it takes on each level to make it organized and to make it easier to make the calculations.
    Level 5: 28.5 seconds
    Level 6: 28.2 seconds (4 rocks on a machine)
    Level 7: 27.9 seconds
    Level 8: 27.6 seconds
    Level 9: 27.3 seconds (5 rocks on a machine)
    Level 10: 27.0 seconds
    Level 11: 26.7 seconds
    Level 12: 26.4 seconds (6 rocks on a machine)
    Level 13: 26.1 seconds
    Level 14: 25.8 seconds
    Level 15: 25.5 seconds (7 rocks on a machine)
    Level 16: 25.2 seconds
    Level 17: 24.9 seconds
    Level 18: 24.6 seconds (8 rocks on a machine)
    Level 19: 24.3 seconds
    Level 20: 24.0 seconds
    Level 21: 23.7 seconds (9 rocks on a machine)
    Level 22: 23.4 seconds
    Level 23: 23.1 seconds
    Level 24: 22.8 seconds (10 rocks on a machine)
    Level 25: 22.5 seconds
    Level 26: 22.2 seconds
    Level 27: 21.9 seconds
    Level 28: 21.6 seconds
    Level 29: 21.3 seconds
    Level 30: 21.0 seconds
    Level 31: 20.7 seconds
    Level 32: 20.4 seconds
    Level 33: 20.1 seconds
    Level 34: 19.8 seconds
    Level 35: 19.5 seconds
    Level 36: 19.2 seconds
    Level 37: 18.9 seconds
    Level 38: 18.6 seconds
    Level 39: 18.3 seconds
    Level 40: 18.0 seconds
    Level 41: 17.7 seconds
    Level 42: 17.4 seconds
    Level 43: 17.1 seconds
    Level 44: 16.8 seconds
    Level 45: 16.5 seconds
    Level 46: 16.2 seconds
    Level 47: 15.9 seconds
    Level 48: 15.6 seconds
    Level 49: 15.3 seconds
    Level 50: 15.0 seconds
    Level 51: 14.7 seconds
    Level 52: 14.4 seconds

    Until level 52 is enough, you will notice later why is it enough.

    So first of all, how many graalats I make on level 4 (my current mining level) per mining.

    First, I would make a average of all the graalats I make per 3 rocks:
    +1 quartz = 5
    +2 irons and 1 copper =15
    +2 irons = 10
    +1 silver 1 copper 1 lead = 15
    +1 quartz 1 copper = 10
    = 55 and I summed 5 numbers

    5/55= 11 graalats

    By this calculation just done, I could say that 3 rocks equal 11 graalats, that is 1 minute and 26 seconds.
    So I could say that I make 11 graalats on 1 minute and 26 seconds, and that is 1 minute and 26 seconds, not even 1 minute straight.

    But we need to know at what level mining beats pizza making, so let's jump to level 52, 14.4 seconds it takes for 1 rock, and 1 rock is worth 3.6 graalats, but the max amount of graalats you can make on level 52 per minute is 14.3 graalats, still very far away from 33 graalats per minutes.

    But let's make another big step forward and see on level 80.
    6.0 seconds for making one rock, you can make 10 rocks on 1 minutes, you're getting 36 rocks per minute! That is the same quantity of pizza making. But nothing is happiness, to get to level 80 you have to mine for 8 weeks and 8 hours, non stop.

    So we could say that from level 80 or higher, you are actually making a profit on mining.

    Oh, and if you're wondering how many graalats you get on level 99, here is your answer;

    Basically we're making 0.3 rocks per second, that is 10 rocks per 3 seconds, that would mean that on 15 seconds you make 50 rocks, and on 30 seconds you make 100 rocks, and on 1 minutes you make 200 rocks!!

    And 200 rocks would be equivalent to 720 graalats! On level 99 you're getting 720 graalats per minute, and on 1 hour you are getting 43200 graalats, literally you are rich. But again, not everything is happiness, for getting there you're taking 8 weeks and 6 days non-stop.

    So the final conclusions are that make pizzas gives you 36 graalats per minutes, aswell as mining on level 80.

    And being on level 99 gives you 720 graalats per minute.

    I feel like the level 99 gralats per minute calculation is incorrect. Yeah, it takes a lot of time, but that is still A LOT of gralats. Anyways, well done, very informative thread.
    Message me if you ever need advice, I'm not the wisest person on the planet but I'll do my best to help you out.

    You can find me in-game under the name "Tim Z." or by searching up "Zephlyn" in the gangs section.

    0.3 rocks per second, that is 10 rocks on 3 seconds, that means on 15 seconds you make 50 rocks, and on 30 seconds you make 100 rocks, and on 1 minutes you make 200 rocks.

    1 rocks is worth 3.6 graalats. 3.6 x 200 = 780

    Illuminati confirmed? All jokes aside. Mining is among one of my favorite jobs. It's pretty simple. Turn up the volume. Turn on the TV and mine away while catching up on the favorite shows.. only time I gotta see what I'm doing is when the cave collapses

    Keep in mind 8 weeks is 2 months.
    and is roughly 1400+ hours 24/7 nonstop gameplay of only mining.
    1000 hours is 41+ days.
    Meaning 700+ hours is 1 month.
    And out of 2 months is 60 days.
    Which is 1400+ hours

    What mining level are you D12?
    Feel free to PM "Scopez" in game. I swear I don't bite.
