Elemental mining weapons

Engel · 07-09-2012

Hey. As you might have noticed when mining, is that te mines are nearly empty while they are necessary to repair weapons and such. I think we should do something about this, to make mining (more) popular. What I'm about to tell is just a rough idea, and I thought I'd share it, also because you guys might be able to help improve the concept.

What if there are rare gems or stones, which can be used to craft special weapons. Let's say these gems are called elemental stones.

There are four elements: Fire, Water, Air and Earth.
Each element has it's own place where it's found, so you have to dig in other mines aswell and it makes it feel more like a quest.

If you collected a certain amount of the same gems, you are able to craft an elemental weapon. You have different types of weapons, so let's say a dagger costs 4 gems, while a sword costs 6. The gems must be pretty rare so that not everyone has these weapons in no-time.
This is just an idea, but it might be nice to be implemented since there isn't alot of attention for mining.
Thanks for reading and please help develop this idea!

This game doesn't involve magic so I don't see how those kind of elements are relevant.

You're totally right, shamrock gnomes are also non-magical creatures I encounter every day when I walk to school. Lol, kidding I get your point, but I think there should be something like this to help make mining more popular ;).

Either make mining easier to get the minerals you need or scrap mining altogether. Sorted.

I agree to a point, but elements don't seem to be the way. We already have extra stones like gems and gold.

These items could have a function, but I'm not sure what that would be.

Mining was already made easy back in February 22nd 2012. They changed it so that in order to level up, you only had to mine x100 per the number of level you are. Example:
Level 1 - 100 Rocks to level up
Level 2 - 200 Rocks to level up
Level 3 - 300 Rocks to level up
Level 4 - 400 Rocks to level up
Level 5 - 500 Rocks to level up
(and so on)
There were many players mining at this time. All of the mines were filled with players. Also around that time, they added more minerals to mine, which made even more players come to mine.
But, it only lasted a couple days until the Mines went back to a baron waste-land and I was basically the only one left mining.

That sounded like the back of a dvd box- The adventures of Marker, The last Miner

What about fossils? Like if you find a certain fossil (maybe a skull of a T-rex..?) it could be used as a hat? Jus an idea

I was thinking of the diamond/Gold making the gun turn to its color... Like :
Uzi + 50 gold = Gold Uzi
And so on...

Well, that idea seems like a step in the right direction ;o

Gunsmithing. No other answer would be as good as that to make mining more popular. But, you'd have to have a certain weapon to craft another certain one, like to craft a m16 you would need a p90, and so on and so forth.

Where exactly did you get those numbers? They would have to be a lot higher then that for those kind of perks and items.
