Update [Oct 30 07] - Harvest Resources

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 8:24 pm

*Harvest resources system has been modified a bit:
- Veins are now randomized for every spawn
- Chance to fall over to regular is now 30% instead of 50%
- Material spawn chances have been slightly tweaked
- Mining now has a small chance to spawn elementals even with a regular pickaxe

Do Magery to 100 and summon some elementals or Vortexes. Even a Daemon. They'll get the job done.

Adds more thrill to mining, and helps keeps afkers at bay.

It seems that this might have been put in as a random check to AFK resource gathering. Either way, Valorite elementals aren't too bad. It does mean that your smith/mining character will need to be a little bit better prepared. The end result though is that you will get a few extra ingots from the elemental as well since they drop colored, and it will add a little extra excitement to the mining process.

100 mage, 100 med and some meddable MR armor and you can down a valorite elemental with meteor swarm in no time.

The old bods still work. You can still fill them in and bring them in.

Also you get a bod for completing the tailor/smith quests.

I might still need to tweak resource odds though. Think frostwood might still be too hard to get.

I personally would just mine up regular elementals such as earth - shadow iron. That way if the miner is around, they can at least avoid it (If they're afk, they'll get beaten on anyways.) If you're a miner and you have a valorite elemental chasing you around the mines, it's alot worse. At least you have a chance at killing a regular one.

For those I can't programaticly do that, as it uses the same system as gargoyle pickaxes. So it goes by the ore patch you're mining.
