From Melvor Idle
Just curious - but could a section on mining gloves be added? If the player could afford it from mining gems, wouldn't mining Rune Essence with Mining gloves and then mining coal be faster?
Assumptions:
- The player is wearing the mining cape and has no double drops, no gem drops outside gem gloves.
- 1.3 sec/action.
- Avg. profit of 131 gp/charge of gem gloves.
| Mining Resource | No gloves | Mining Gloves (MG) | MG Essence, Coal | MG Essence, Gem Gloves Coal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essence (Mining Actions) | 165,000 | 82,500 | 82,500 | 82,500 |
| Coal (Mining Actions) | 37,500 | 52,500 | 78,750 | 78,750 |
| Action Total | 202,500 | 135,000 | 161,250 | 161,250 |
| Action Delta | 0 | 67,500 | 41,250 | 41,250 |
| Time Total (hrs) | 73.125 | 47.750 | 56.88 | 56.88 |
| Time Delta (hrs) | 0 | 24.375 | 14.890 | 14.890 |
| Cost Total | 0 | 20,250,000 | 12,375,000 | 2,058,750 |
| Approx Cost (kGp/hr) | 0 | 415,000 | 212,000 | 35,000 |
So an investment of ~ 2 MGp saves ~15 hrs of time. -soup#8068
