Hello

(Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I am doing my very best :)
Welcome to my mining research thread.
I'm gonna be mining until PS3 release so I figgured I'd do some looking into mining.

First things first.
I'm working on a Exposed Ore(Aim) and Strike zone yielding list.

To better understand what I'm talking about I'll include some pictures ^^;




I split the AIM into 6+ to -6. 1 is the default position it will always be on when you start mining.
I also split the STRIKE zone into 3 zones. Red is center, Green is middle, Blue is outher.

I have found that mining on the same AIM repeatedly does not affect what item you get. I mine 10 mining points at the same AIM pr. test. (10 points x 6 strike = 60 items)

Grade 1

Mining point map to help with finding the points along with survey.

(Map is not finished. 100 stands for 100 yalms)

I will Update this list as I get more AIM info.

I'm back - in FFXIV!!

Sorry I didnt finish the FFXI noobie area gil guide, but I quit and started playing FFXIV instead. I also was in the closed beta ^^ fun time.

I'm going to work on mining until march, since my laptop cant run the game very well.
I'm very much looking forward to PS3 release. Alot of my old FFXI friends going to join then too ^^
