 Mining |
| Q: Can UMTs be attacked? How do I know if mine is taking damage? |
| A: UMTs can indeed be attacked, and destroyed. You will get a system message each time it takes a hit, provided that you have system messages turned on. |
|
| Q: How do I mine? |
| A: In order to mine you must be equipped with a mining tool which can be gained from the Ore Refiner NPC or through quests. You must also have a battery (sold separately) to operate the mining tool. These come in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. The larger the battery the longer you will be able to mine. You can carry multiple batteries. Equip the mining tool and it will replace your weapon. While you have the tool out a new box will come up and ask you which kind of ore you wish to mine. Once you select your ore, press the “Mine Mode” button. |
|
| Q: How do I repair my UMT? |
| A: Unfortunately UMTs cannot be repaired. Once it is destroyed, you must purchase a new one. |
|
| Q: Is a UMT faster or slower than ordinary mining? |
| A: UMTs are a bit slower than ordinary mining, but not too slow. They are best for using inside the core. |
|
| Q: What are the different types of ore? |
| A: There are currently three types of levels for each ore: +1, +2, and +3. Depending on the + of the ore determines how much money it will be sold for and how much materials you will receive from refining. The higher the +, the more you get in both cases. |
|
| Q: What do I do with ore once I’ve mined it? |
| A: Take your ore to the Ore Refiner merchant and talk with them. You have the options to sell your ore for money ore refine it for items. Refining does cost money to do but in return you will be given refine ore which can be used for crafting (or selling for gold), talics, gems, and in very rare instances, jades. |
|
| Q: What is an Unmanned Mining Tool? |
| A: Unmanned Mining Tools (UMT) allow players to mine while occupying themselves with other activities such as Chip Wars, Battle Dungeons, or just about anything else. |
|
| Q: What is the difference between Core mining and Portal mining? |
| A: When your race has won the Core via Chip War, you are allowed access to the Core in the center of the Crag Mines where you can mine with your own bodyguard, the Halo Stone Keeper. Mining rates within the core are much faster than at the portal, with about one ore obtained about every 5-10 seconds while mining at the portal is about one ore every 30-40 seconds. |
|
| Q: What’s the difference in ore colors? |
| A: If you aren’t a crafter then there is really no difference between what color ore you mine. They will all sell for the same price at an NPC. If you are a crafter you can use refined version of the ore to craft various equipment. Yellow: Used in crafting shields, Launcher weapons, and chest armor Black: Used in crafting all Melee weapons and shoe armor Green: Used in crafting Bow/Throwing knife weapons and glove armor Blue: Used in crafting Staff weapons and leg armor Red: Used in crafting Firearm weapons and head armor |
|
| Q: Where do I mine? |
| A: The only map that you can mine in is the Crag Field map. This is a PvP zone which every race can access and is the location of the daily Chip War. You can mine in selective spots throughout the map, but the two most common places are the Core and your Race Portal. |
|
| Q: Where do I obtain a UMT? |
| A: UMTs can be purchased from the Ore Refiner Merchant. There are three types, each with its own level requirement. UMTs require batteries to operate, so make sure you buy batteries. You will also need to open a UMT Storage Box with the Ore Refiner merchant. This is where all your ore will go into. |
