Hello,
I would like to know what skill does it take to get the "holy rocks" from the mountain? Do I need rock mining?, if so, just how do I get to this elusive place (in Ilshenar)? I have run around some (avoiding vile beasties along the way and dieing on occasion) but I continually get lost as the easiest of passages have walls up. Now I do'nt exspect a map or anything of the kind but a hint would be nice if indeed rock mining is what I need :) Thank you.
As far as I know, it uses the mining skill. Ther is a low chance u will mine a holy rock
You can mine holy rocks anywhere. (Not 100% positive, but I think it takes 120 mining to get them) To access the reward stone, go to any moongate, choose Pandora > Holy Rock Mountain.
You don't have to have 120 mining. I have 110 and I got one
Thanks Angel, I wasn't real sure because I already had 120 mining when the Holyrocks came into the game.
Not a problem.
I have GMed 100 in mining and smithy. So where do I stand a chance to earn a scroll to up them (my stats) to 105-120. I would rather not pay someone a million in gold. Thank you.
Minning scrolls come from champs in Fel, there still new ish but becomming alot more common now and as such the price is about the same as any other PS, exept for the 120 wich sells for 1.5-3m bepending on the vendor.
BS PS are gaied using the bod system, thes are very hard to come by expecially the 115. there is a vendor in north luna (cant remember owner, but the vendors are all sat around a table) this shop has most tailor/smith scrolls for sale if you dont fancy working the bod system for months on end to get the ones you need.
If you do work the bod system, here if you have a bunch of bod runners with 30 ish skill they can collect low end bods, which once filled can be handed in, handing one in resets the 6 hour timmer, so for every one you hand in you can get another with your gm+ char and get better ones more likly to give good rewards.
Hope this sheds some light on getting the PS you want/need.
Thank you for the information it was most helpful.
You can get them with 100 mining.
You do not need any other skill or recipe. Just mining and a shovel/pickAxe.
More mining hasn't really seen me any better results (up to 125). Helps a ton with smelting high-value ore however.
As far as the holyrock rewards go, get the doni pick axe first, as doing so frees you from needing to tinker (or buy) shovels. It saves script time (mines more) and stops using ingots (saves the roughly 4% iron ingots you mine). =)
Next, I'd probably go for the shrink potion, then the lockpick, anvil, resource box, toolbox, forge, etc...
Or, if you know how to edit your scripts, you can get a forge 2nd and alter the script to smelt whenever heavy, and bank when weight (after smelting) is still over like 250. It'd save a lot of time (mine more). =)
Just to give ppl an idea of how uncommon holy rocks are ive been minning 24/7 since I pretty much started here 171 days, with my bad `tinternet conection sever down and the odd day off ive prolly missed a thurd of the time, Ive gotten the resorce box (12), some rough stones back when I was in dire need (15), and are now saving up fort the everlasting shrink pot (90 10 to go).
I seem to get one most days, but mabe hold off on the shrink pot till you have the other items, a pet leash if eazer to get for the time being.
Are holy rocks still available on this shard?...Nigel
Nope.
Thank you....Nigel
