Alumen to Ore ratio needs fixing.

Im really confused by all this cause if i target the hot spots for a certain ore, i get ores more often than not. The hot spots can be found all over on various sites. When I need an ore I just go to this grade node in this area and set it to that target and mine all the ore i need. Granted im not high in mining as of yet but when i need something like iron ore i gather it by the truckload in a fairly small amount of time and get very few alumens.

So is it really a ratio issue or is it just a need to target the correct spot issue?

At higher lvls you only get 1 Mythril/Cobalt/Electrum per strike, whereas you can get 3, 4, 5 Alumen Ore per strike, so even if you only strike Alumen once or twice per Mining point, given 8 strikes, you end up with an equal amount if not more Alumen than the Ore you are targeting.

ah ok that makes more sense then. at my lvl (25) i get more ore than anything, hitting the sweet spot i will get ore 5/6 the time and maybe some alumen or a raw stone here and there. The alumen doesnt bother me tho, as a leatherworker i burn thru it to the point where i still buy it off the ah
