Ore, Minerals and Gems

[___________Avatarius]

Patch 13.6 introduced patches of "Carbon Rich Ore" sprinkled around some key zones for people to extract and use to make crystals.

Cosmik - Is there any chance you could add Silver, Gold and Platnium nuggets in these same areas as well?? Right now for
us in the ring business, it is next to impossible to get any
kind of volume to justify putting much IP or price into it. If
they were more readily accessible it would make more sense.

Additionally, have the developers decided yet on the possibility
of letting us Ring Makers add some kind of stat boost to
rings to kick start a direct player market for things? I.e. make
a Gold Ring that adds +5 to BioMet. This certainly would make
the trade more lucrative and beneficial to all.

Thanks,

Good idea.

should have been that way from the start.

Actually was just thinking - so that it isnt *too* easy.

The system should be similar to the way "Carbonrich Rocks" work. You explore 4HO or whereever, and in addition to
finding the existing Carbonrich Rocks, you find "Mineral Rich"
Rocks. You need to use the Jeson Ore Extractor to turn the
Metal Rich Rock into a silver, gold, platnium nugget or a
gem. Hence, players with no tradeskills just cant scoop up
the rocks and sell them, they will be worthless until someone
with a reasonable mechanical tradeskill can extract the precious metal from the rocks [and at that point its just a nugget, so its value is still not very high].
