You hit Surplus in mining there a limit how much you can mine.

2.500 is your limit each time you get a item it take 10 point alway so you can do the math how many item you can get before you hit surplus you regain points back every few hours. so you need to stop mining and do something else while you wait

Speaking of raging...anyone else get a crapton of Zinc ores in Grade 5?....I do and i'm fed up of getting zinc mainly when i'm aiming at gold, silver or mythril. I understand giving us too much of one type would flood it but c'mon, zinc ores? really?...

Do you mine around Iron Lake? I've found alot more mythril/gold sand there vs. zinc ores and the like. Have a rotation where I go for wyvern obsid/black oysters, mythril, and gold sand there. Seem to get alot more zinc if I try around Coerthas.

I mine at Iron Lake & Treespeak if i want iron/mythril. Halatali for Gold...i've had extremely good luck there with gold. Otherwise I just go where somethin shiny is found lol.

Essential for making brass, but yeah, I feel it too.

I just wait till I hit a stack of 99 zinc ore then sell to NPC for gil. +2/+3 goes in the retainer for brass production or eventual bazaar sale.

Think of it this way - if you mined mythril easier and more frequently, it would be worth far less. Every zinc brings you closer to a mythril and makes that mythril more precious.

lol if i only could get in that mindset, there's just too much zinc. I call it the plague ore @_@

Hq Zinc + Hq Copper = Hq Brass Nugs

Hq Brass Nugs x5 + LUCK = HQ Brass ingot


HQ Brass ingot = better odds to get HQ scimitar
