Miner Class Discussion Thread

Do stats make a difference at all? I'm about to hit 48 mining and am wondering if I should select one piece over the other. I'm a miner mainly for DoL.

EDIT: Forget that I asked lol, very rare that they are ever sold and I'm not going to go through the hassle of finding someone to make it all!

[Pooke]

I'm level 48 and have 115 output yet I am still only getting 7 hits, is it because I'm not 50?

[Jamison]

Yeah, it'd take more output (and I don't know how much) to get to 8 hits. Given how fast you can level up now, it's probably not worth it.

[Pooke]

Darn, I was so pumped to HQ my dolabra, and toy around with other gear to free up hands for spiritbonding, oh well 150k until 50. Thanks!

[Jamison]

Try food, that might get you there too.

[Raldo]

I seem to recall something like "Each level gets you 4 points to each base stat", so it might only take another 7 output to get 8 attempts.

Don't quote me on that, but I do know the amount you'll need isn't very much. I would certainly believe that food could get you there, unless you were hitting that 115 number with output food already.

[Pooke]

Spammed leves to 50 so it's no big deal now, but eating food did give me 8 hits while I was waiting for return cooldown.

If you gatherers are spending your time, working hard in order to obtain a luminary and are worried whether your gathering count will be carried over to version 2.0, have no fear! The development team is working on preparations so that all your hard work will be transferred to version 2.0. As the balance for version 2.0 will change a bit from the current version, there is a possibility that there will be achievements that undergo criteria changes.

Please note that there will be achievements that can no longer be completed in version 2.0 and we are working to compile the information on this, which will be announced on Lodestone in the very near future.

Also, as a bit of a side-note, in version 2.0 we will be implementing a gathering journal (tentative name), which will allow players to check which areas items can be gathered from. We are planning to have this implemented for the alpha test, so please look forward to it!

I hope they actually make you go gather the item before it shows up in your journal.

[Raldo]

Post spamming to 10 so you can post links, huh.

Edit: Boom goes the dynamite. User nuked.

Which nation has the best leves for miner starting around lvl 21.

[Niiro]

All DoH leves are identical, find 3 of X item and examine 3 mining points are the only ones.

[Pooke]

Last page Raldo posted perception at 133 was getting the 10% HQ rate, is this the bottom target to shoot for? Does equipping all master abilities have a better chance to gain that boost, or does the game decide when an ability will activate and only one is necessary?

[Niiro]

HQ abilities seem to ignore the HQ rate cap, idk if equipping multiple ones would have any additional effect than just using 1.

I don't think the mechanics of ability procs are well known other than they seem to occur much more on lower level nodes (or rather, nodes further below your level).

[Raldo]

Equipping more abilities will increase the chances that one will proc, assuming SE hasn't changed it since it was tested so long ago.

I've heard some people say that when they boost a certain stat associated with their DoL, that it increases their chances of an ability proc. At that point though, you're trying to increase the proc rate of something to increase the proc rate of HQ, and that's just too far removed for me to care.

Also, the 133 Perception data point was courtesy of Jamison, not me. I've never done any testing regarding perception. The only testing I've ever done was to figure out the exact output to hit 8 strikes on a Grade 5 node at 50.

[Niiro]

If it was you that figured that out, belated ty.

I blew up like 3 cobalt pickaxes +1 trying to double meld output before finally getting it on the 4th try. Now have -exactly- 114 output sacrificing 0 other slots (only other output is from waist/hands which have perception as well).
