Talk:Mining
"Ore veins have a chance to change ore type every time they restock." Does that mean everywhere have a chance to get all kind of ore providing you have the skill, or you still have to mine at certain location in order to have the chance to get higher level ore? --Zeta 03:34, 7 July 2008 (PDT)
An ore spot could provide any ore type, but how often they change type depends on how often they're dug. Your skill makes no difference to the chance of finding a rare ore, it only determines whether you can actually dig that ore up.
If you find a rare ore type, milk it for all it's worth. It may not be there tomorrow (especially true on the more populated shards).
Prior to this rule, all ore spots were set and they stayed as they were. You found a valourite vein, that was that - You could mark the spot in your rune book and mine to your heart's content. It's generally thought that the change was aimed at scripters, but like most anti-scripting attempts it really makes things better for those people. They still pull in more resources then anyone, only now that resources are rarer and hence worth more...

I found that a location always spawning valorite, is this a bug or they are changed back?
