MINING: Arkadia / Rocktropia Ores / Enmatters Average Depths!

I promised it, and here it is! Again compiled from stats found at www.mininglog.com... No, i'm not affiliated with them in anyway, just their method of collecting data allows for relative accuracy over the long run, and is as scientific as one can get in Entropia.

Along with the Calypso average depths posted here for ores and enmatters in earlier posts,

Here are the remaining average depths for any exclusive ores and enmats to Rocktropia and Arkadia.

ORES:
-----------------------------------
Alternative Rock ~413
Banite Stones ~597
Blues Rock ~310
Folk Rock ~468
Glam Rock ~704
Grunge Rock ~398
Hard Rock ~1052
Hebredite Stones ~748
Jazz Rock ~646
Kaz Stones ~935
Lidacon Stones ~846
Ospra Stones ~447
Punk Rock ~547
Telfium Stones ~678
Veda Stones ~433
Wenrex Stones ~644
Yulerium Stones ~650
Zulax Stones ~738
------------------------------

Enmatters:
------------------------------
Florican Mist ~576
Hurricane Cocktail ~884
Hydrogen Steam ~656
Mai Tai ~478
Pel Crystals ~756
Pina Colada ~373
Quil Sap ~580
Somin Tar ~498
Star Particles ~817
Vorn Pellets ~802
Xelo Haze ~685
Zolphic Oil ~450

And that concludes the average depths for the Current Entropia Universe.

As more planets with more resources are added, I will do more posts to keep a list going here.

I am not familiar with planet specific finders... However, a safe bet is to use eMine or F-105's for finding most everything...  But if you can use the super high level finders and afford them, by all means go that route. The main thing is, target the average depth of that which you are seeking, and you will more likely find it if you are in the right place for that resource to be found.

Good luck and happy prospecting!

MINING: Enmatters Finders VS Average Depths On Calypso

Here is the second part to my average depths and finders post, covering enmatters on Calypso. Please see the first post regarding ores and finders here! http://entropiauniverseguide.blogspot.com/2011/09/mining-ore-finders-vs-average-search.html

The reason I think it best to focus on the AVERAGE depths is logical since you have a large number of claims that have been recorded by various players with various equipment as provided by www.mininglog.com... This means that most claims for these resources are found at these depths the most. The minimum or maximum depths don't really mean a lot, because regardless of what finders you use, you will find something. But if you want to target specific resources, you should aim for those depths they are found at on average. In my own experience, it indeed increases the likelihood of hitting what you are after. I found my first deposit of Redulite following my own advice!

So... Enmatters are for the most part in the 500's and 600's... Only a couple are in the 800's. This means either an un enhanced F-105 or unenhanced eMine finder for most of these, and depth enhancers to about three tiers to hit the deeper stuff.

So... Here we go!

Energized Crystal ~817

Mining: Ore Finders Vs. Average Search Depth for CALYPSO ORES

I just compared the average depths as logged by www.mininglog.com... This is data taken from their members mining results, and they average it out... And I know that it is possible to be mining past the depth for certain ores and enmatters, so it pays to pick the one finder that can find what you are looking for and try to keep from going past the depth too far that it is usually found at. Sure, you may still hit it at a much deeper depth, but it could just be a fluke, the system correcting for your losses for example.

As I understand it though, the higher the level the finder is, the more shallow of deposits will turn up. The lower the finder, the closer your finds will be to the average depth. So if you are using a Tk or VRX, I wouldn't worry much about this, and if you are using those then you already know what you are doing!

Alferix ~569

Cobalt ~484 (Perhaps a F-104 work best for Cobalt, but I hit it good with the 105)
Copper ~586
Erdorium ~614 (Untiered E Mine should work great here)
Frigulite ~549
Gazzurdite ~574
Ignisium ~604 (Untiered E Mine should work great too)

Coming up on the next post: The same chart for Calypso EXCEPT I will do a list of enmatters!

After that, I plan to do lists with all other planets ores and enmatters for your convenience.

This list took quite a while to research and break down, I hope you find it useful, and if you know anyone else that can, feel free to givem a link!
