On our tools though gathering, output, perception/scanning are the main stats which would make sense perhaps why they are lower since your pickaxe is broken. Also with my iron crosspien hammer +1 while you can't see what the plus one gives by just looking at it. I had a nq and the +1 100% health and the +1 gave about 1-3 more on each stat when I equipped it. When I get home from class I will go repair my hammer to 100% and then compare the stats listed on my hammer vs stats I actually get when equipped.

    Also if you are not level 32 yet, then the polished pickaxe you have wouldn't be giving you the max stats on it regardless. Which adds more confusion to this ;p
    Good thoughts! My bad on me being underleveled with the pickaxe, so much going on and I forgot about the basic stuff!

    Edit: Yeah, I'm an idiot and am editing my earlier post. The wonky numbers were simply from my being under the optimal rank, and seemingly nothing to do with equipment damage.

    I can't swear this is exhaustive (and I really should have done a better job of logging results) but at this point I think we've got a pretty good list of grade 4 locations and results.

    Thanalan - Nophica's Wells
    La Noscea - Cederwood
    Black Shroud - Humblehearth
    Coerthas - Camp Glory

    As for the drops, I've seen Wyrm/Wyvern/Dragon obsidian (Wyvern also being grade 3 in Bloodshore, perhaps others), mythril ore, Gold Sand, and each of the r39 raw jems (amethyst/aquamarine/garnet/goshenite/heliodor/peridot). The gems are split around between the different zones, and I've forgotten which were from where (my apologizes).

    And slightly amusing, there seems to be a huge shortage of Zinc on Rabanastre. Everyone's begging for it, to the point where I might go back to try and get some.

    The funny part is zinc is more common than copper in Thanalan.

    Well there's the gil, and there's the fact you can watch TV or do random stuff while mining.

    That info earlier about crafting/gathering stats below the line, is it correct? Or is it bugged display issue? Has anyone noticed any differences in crafting with fully repaired gear and fully worn gear? With a fully repaired weapon in both cases.

    Maybe I won't have to craft naked any more...

    It is, at the moment, unknown. I think the point of discussion was to try and figure some of that out, if possible.

    Maybe it deserves its own thread. This thread only appeals to miners whereas this affects all DoH/L.

    It took quite a long time before XI got job-specific equipment. I wouldn't count on spelunking helmets any time soon.

    Awesome... gotta go with the Bronze Sallet for now, but will eventually upgrade to the assault...

    Now I just need a little lantern to stick on the front of it...

    apparently the rank 30 fishing quest gives you golden subligar, so I am hoping that rank 30 gives miners a cool hat or some nice boots.

    The class quest? Nope, just guild marks, gil, and access to purchase more abilities. Someone has reported, however, getting Safari Belt from a r30 Ul'dah mining guildleve. Do want.

    A week or so ago I saw posted (but can't find now) a list of the elemental affinities of the zones themselves. Can anyone link me to that?

    I'm noticing in Coerthas seems to be dropping (only) the jems that convert to DEX and INT, and I want to see if there is a correlation/predictability to these.

    Are any websites fairly compressive yet on grade 2/3 loot tables? I'm not looking to do anything exhaustive, but if not I might do a google spreedsheet with some of the key drops. I wouldn't be looking to do everything, but more of a list of "if you are trying for something, here are the better zones to go for". I'd need some help though, because I didn't keep the best records.

    One of my LS mates got a Safari belt in a Nanawa Mines 30 battle leve the other day.

    I've been lucky with MIN leves this week, three out of eight have had marks and I can now get Prospect III.

    I think gear that is worn down does affect you even if it doesn't say in the stats. I've been blowing up loads of silver rings today and last night and I was making them fine when my gear was fully repaired the other day.

    Quick help for a chart I'm compiling... Flourite and Danburite come from which zones? Should be one from Thanalan and one from La Noscea.

    And I'd like to give a general guide for people who want to specifically find Iron/Silver/Zinc. What do ya'll think is the best advice to someone who is specifically looking for those? My experience was that iron was most abundant in LL, Silver in the Black Shroud, and Zinc in Thanalan (grade 2 only?). Thoughts?

    I found fluorite in coerthas and an LSmate found indigo quartz while quarrying there (turns into danburite) I would expect that those stones are limited to Coerthas, possibly mor dhona (no idea if there are spots there) where mining in grade 3 areas I get grade 2 gemstones; aquamarines in La Noscea where I used to get Lapis.

    There was a link a few posts up with a whole list of where to find what, I would look there for the other stuff you are looking for.
