Ok where are some goods places to mine when looking for the higher level ore. I'm running around minoc right now just trying to find a good spot. Not having any luck at all but still looking. Does it make a difference to go to fel or does it really matter?
Doesnt matter the ore changes after every times its emptied... High end Ores like VAlorite have a 1% chance to load in a vein
wow that stinks if there is only a 1% chance. Let me ask you this, is there a chart that tells what the % are to give me an idea?
http://uo.stratics.com/content/skills/mining.php will show you the spawn chances.
IMO the best places to mine are the newbie dungeon or Wind mountain. If you goto Wind (Felucca) mountain, theres a house with a forge and anvil on the eastern side of the mountain in the little grass area.
Ok thanks.. Wind Mt. I will have to check Automap on that one. When I used to play back in the late 90's,I could run all over and go just about anywhere and know how to get there. Now I am so lost when I get out there..
Yeah, its the same for me. I havent played in 10 years, so I have UOAM running constantly. I always go some place and it hits me "Oh yeah, I remember this place".
If you're worried about monster spawns or PK's if in fel, Delucia has never failed me in being rich in all colors of veins.
I also never remembered the color changing after you empty the vein. I recall having runebooks marked to always take me directly to valorite veins.
Used to beable to have runebooks marked for certain veins, but that i no-longer, which is awesome cuz rare ore is actually rare!
