Miner...farming question.Follow

I'm planning on leveling miner, but according to what I have seen, I just don't like the way they farm. Do they have to keep teleporting to new areas based on in-game time? I know you can only get gold ore,dark steel ore, etc only during specific time, that's why in asking this. Thanks in advance :)

But, those items are what farming is worth for, right?

Darksteel and Gold Ore are the main ingredients required for T1 items, but you can make money at every tier of mining. In fact, raw materials are your most consistent sales (ores, stones (especially Siltstone and Basilisk Eggs for instance)). Every time you open a new level to your mining log take a look at the MW on your server and judge what is best to level off from a) cost per item and b) speed of sale.

I'll go one further and give you another tip. Most people level off triple leves, and each ingot requires 3 ores, so sell your ores in stacks of 33 (3×9 plus 6 in case you break a couple of synths) rather than 99. You can even push the price a little higher and they'll still sell faster than those stacks of 99 that are up on sale.

On my server darksteel goes for around 1.2k and gold about 600ish gil. Not a whole lot for nodes that pop only once a game day.

I've found it so much more lucrative to mine the ingredients for steel ingots. Also, crystals and shards.

I should have played on a new server. Hyperion, everything is cheap. Easily farmable to sell is Cobalts, which sell at 90 normal 150 HQ. Darksteel sell at 100 each. Gold ore is 95.

Oh, the woes of legacy.
