Mithril ore yields

I have noticed that most of the ores allow you to gather more than one per whack, but mithril ore is only one per whack. Does this change once you attain a higher level / better gear or is it constant? Just seems odd to me that it is the only ore with single yields.

cobalt i think is also like that i farm for 2hours and could only get 40 at best. It would take me hours with break just to get 99 if someone know where to get it better let us know.

At r46 Miner I can confirm that cobalt can yield more than one ore per whack, but mithril is only ever one at a time. Other r50 mining friends have also confirmed the same, saying Mithril is always one at a time, even if you have the "King's Yield" (or w/e one increases chance for multiple) ability active, which I have personally confirmed.

Being r50 arm as well, I find it more efficient to do either bsm leves for mythril ore or gsm leves for mythril ingots.

Would be happy if they change it =)

Increase your "output"?

There's a fish (Northern Pike) that's the same way. I don't know if it's by design or what, but I can confirm with all the mining done that I can only get one mythril per gather.

Currently I have over 3 stacks of Silver Ore & a little over 1 stack of Mythril, while hitting the Mythril sweet spot. Fun fun.

Output has nothing to do with Yield amount. I currently am a 50 Miner with over 310 Mind and still only get 1 Mythril ore per successful gather.

BTW same goes for me and Rosewood Logs as well with INT over 300.

Mythril Ore has always been 1 max like gems/gold(IIRC)/oysters. I don't remember what the items were for other DoL but I don't think this has changed.

While I know mythril has been around prior to 1.19 and always been 1 per success, I find it odd that now, given that it's the 2nd best tier of ore for BSM/ARM and GLD synths, that it's still 1 per. It's a little silly to have Cobalt the highest BSM/ARM tier ore, and Electrum the highest GLD tier ore be a good bit easier to amass.

Oh is that why my LS friend said "I admire your tenacity in digging Mythril Ore" when I announced in my LS that I got 99+54 Silver Ores and 56 Mythril Ores from my Gridania mining trip?

Come to think of it, the ratio of my Ore yields indeed seems bad for Mythril Ore, even though I was always aiming at +3 for Mythril sweet spot.

It would be great already if they let us be able to get 1-2 Mythril Ores. Heck, it doesn't have to have big yield like 3-5 as other stuff, just 1-2 is fine. 1 per dig is a bit too stingy in my opinion.

As with many things in this game, Mythril ore yield makes no sense.

As GSM I switched to making Electrum Rings ASAP because I can mine stacks of Electrum ore without even trying. Not that I'm necessarily complaining - I'm happy that higher level synths are easier to get materials for, but it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

par for the course.

i generally hit 1-3 cobalt on a regular basis, try raising you gathering. im not exp in mythril.

cobalt prices are lower then mythril, but i thought that was cause its so easy to mine at iron lake.

Gathering has nothing to do with yield amounts, confirmed by the dev's themselves. Only mind has an affect on it, and even at over 300 mind, i have yet to see mythril come at more than 1 per hit.

Dumb system is dumb, but atleast mythril is just a bridging material til cobalt or electrum depending on your crafting class.

Could someone with crafting experiencing introduce this as a game bug? I really think this was an oversight that the devs forgot to take into account when they changed the tiers of the crafts and materials (mythril going from top tier to second top tier). I would file a report but I haven't touched DoL, but I this is something that adversely affecting economy and crafting/gathering as a whole.
