    Adventurer, the "demolishing" skill will allow you to clear bedrock!

    Just go mine me up a marble pebble! You should have no problem with that, right?






    Right?



    (mining, being what it is, meant it took about 2 and a half hours after launch for all the mining points to spawn in areas you can't reach without the demolishing skill. Good job with that "no open beta", SE!)

    As an addendum to this post, the colonization Riev featuring turtles and slimes blocking the way to a few of the few mining points that can be accessed without the "Demolishing" skill is truly epic. While not bad when a group is sleeping all the monsters, it can be made much worse by some random guy running up to melee a slept turtle.

    Really, everything about acquiring the "Demolishing" skill is as brutal as possible and I hope it becomes easier somehow as areas near the burning colon of Adoulin are colonized.

    LMAO sounds like fun. I can't wait till these colon of Adoulin is cleansed up and actually smooth enough to be playable.

    I've been told there's a place to get the marble without having to put up with that BS.

    In the case of Moh Gates, you can get to potential locations for Mining Points by clearing Rievs featuring turtles and roots. It's a bit infuriating, but "Demolishing" isn't needed. There may be Mining Points in safer places in Moh Gates, but I've only seen them up beyond the true-sight monsters and turtle-guarded roots.

    If Marble can be mined up in Sih Gates, everybody should go to Sih Gates instead. I haven't seen anything there so far that I couldn't run past with just Sneak and Invisible.

    Sih Gates has 95% of its Mining Points behind the one section on the West side blocked off by a Colonization Reive (roots). I hadn't tried to mine back there the one time I had access to it; if I'd known about this rumor I would have tried.

    Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't true, though.
