First of all, it's a bit slow compared to my normal hammer, and secondly, i seem to be getting way more iron/bronze than the gems. O.o; has anyone noticed this? I also still get 9 pieces of scrap iron a day :( .. so i think i might just stick to my regular hammer..

But, i did get 2 pieces of gold right off the bat. XD so it definitely works for gold.

Was anyone able to mine platinum in 1st gen?
Really? I think it might tend to vary between the different games. It may be that Battle Hammer increases the chance of getting rare metals such as gold, silver, etc. cause I have tons of those. Now that you mention it though, I don't have many Rubies or Amethysts (though I have lots of Emeralds and Aquamarines...) What's going on?! I think I'll put in the guide, "Try the Battle Hammer and Normal Hammer." since it seems to vary for different people ><

Nope, I haven't gotten it, but someone said it could be mined... perhaps they were in 2nd gen. I forgot who it was though ><

Are you sure? For me, I get a lot less scrap iron when I use the Battle Hammer and charge it up... Are you using the Battle Hammer or normal hammer?
MistiRose wrote:^You know how people say "save/reload"? I've noticed that the ores change everytime if i reload right after i wake up. Does that mean there's actually a SET ore in each rock then, so no matter what hammer you use, you're gonna get one of those set ores? Or is it..still somehow random?

For example: I wake up, run to Trieste forest, and get 3 scrap irons and 1 aquamarine with my REGULAR hammer. I don't like it, so i reload back to 6 AM, and this time i get an earth crystal, 2 emeralds, and 1 scrap. Does this mean the ores are SET in stone (no pun intended XD) each time we reload, so no matter which hammer i use to mine, i'll still get the same ores? (But maybe in a different order, because the ores could be "circulating" between the 4 rocks? ..)

^Sorry if that was confusing >.<
No I understand what you mean but I don't think that's the case... I saved outside Padova Mts once, when I was trying to get a Diamond. I just kept reloading from that same save spot (so it was the same day - not reloading from the morning of) and eventually I got Diamond... so the ores are randomly determined right when you hit them (or maybe when you enter the map that they're in). I don't think they're pre-determined at the beginning of the day.
Actually, we might be onto something here, Kupo :D .. I get 5 rubies and amethysts on average a day when i always mined with my normal hammer, but once i switched to battle hammer, i started getting tons of iron instead. Granted, there -were- less scrap irons, but it was now all iron & bronze instead. XD .. soo iono.

Ruby is the highest ore on my shipping list, followed by bronze, amethyst, diamond, and saphhire/emerald. o.o Is yours anything similar?

I'll be keeping my battle hammer anyway, since our tools rust over in 2nd gen. I guess that way, i wont be missing out on mining? XD But i've also read from some people who've played the JP version that the hammer level/charge didn't seem to affect the ores you mined anymore. Iono.

Sigh, RF1 was so easy. XD you could mine 8 times a day. D: Now there's.. wait! Does anyone know how many ore rocks total there are in each dungeon? It would be nice so i'm not missing out on any.. (1st gen & 2nd gen). It can get added into the guide.

Yeah =D I think that might be the case! I think I will experiment a bit with Blessia and Padova because they have lots of gems/metal and mining rocks.

Unfortunately I don't ship my ores... well, some of them I do ship, but on my shelf I keep 18 of every metal (except Gold, duh) and 9 of every gem and elemental crystal... so usually whatever I mine goes there >< The extras go in the bin so I can check out what's in there. I think I'll put a note in the guide with our little "theory" XD That makes sense too, cause I like never get Sapphires/Diamonds/Elemental Crystals but I get TONS of metal (I haven't mined with my normal hammer in ages - I'll start experimenting).

Hmm... maybe that's true (about the charge/level of the hammer not affecting ores)... in the end we'll never know. But charging and different kinds of hammers must effect something right? So I guess if you're going for a particular ore... try everything XD

Yup, I'd be glad to put up a list of that for 1st gen... second gen will have to wait until I get there - it will take me a week (real time) now that school is back though ><

Also Guestie I'd be happy to add it in except that I don't really want people posting on those topics anymore... three topics up top when there could only be one up top with all the information in those guides and more doesn't make sense... but if you have a different reason/idea for it then please let us know^^

Oh my goshness. ... XDD I do the exact same thing with my ores! Literally. i have 18 irons, bronze, and silver already, so that's complete. And i had 9 water crystals, fire crystals, and wind crystals, but only 6 earth crystals. XD now i finally have 9 of those too, so my "ore set" is finished. haha. I got all of those with my normal hammer tho, so maybe you want to try that? I'm in summer 23rd, btw. (1st gen)


I never even knew gold existed, so i was happy. T_T but now i want at least 9 of those before moving on to 2nd gen.. urgh. XD

To go TOTALLY off-topic from mining...
Can either of you specify where EXACTLY the Love Snapper fishing spot is? I can't find it...

Nevermind then~
@Mizuru: Go to Sun-Dappled spot. Go to every area in the place where there is water ON YOUR MAP. I believe it's next to a monster ball. Face towards the water and cast out the line~

Its only accessible in 2nd gen, the "Sun-dappled Spot"

The water is actually HIDDEN from view, so you'll have to listen for a "splash" to know your line hit.

And they're a rare type of fish, so of course their spot is clandestine. :D

EDIT: oops, beaten >.<

For the next few minutes the topic is under construction (redistributing the sections between the first 5 posts^^). Please don't mind if it's cluttered and messed up.

@Misti: I'm pretty sure Cher gets spammed with PMs. She might need some time to rake through those first.

Yeah, we have 5 posts at the beginning (Misti and I) before anyone else posted so we figured we'd distribute the sections between them... it makes it look cleaner and more separate^^ So expect some clutter for the next few minutes - then it will all be cleared up.

Alright! Construction is done~ Feast your eyes on the new version... XP Much cleaner and nicer, yes? Also more room for expansion this time around.^^
EDIT: NEVERMIND!~ Me and Misti realized a problem, we're on it... it'll be back to normal in a few minutes. ><
