I was reading n the forums about how it takes people forever to level up there mining, so it isn't profitable as much as most of the other ways to make money. But what if iEra started selling multiple types of batteries, that speed up your mining for the duration of the battery.
Though the extra cost would make you not profit from the mining, it would allow you to level up faster and it would cut down on the time it takes to gain levels. I thought this would help make mining a little more profitable in the long run and maybe even it out with other ways of making money. What do you guys think about this idea?

Isn't that the point of leveling up? So you can mine faster.  

Yes, but these batteries could give different boosts of speed for their power duration. There could be a 10% 25% 35% and 50% cut on time it takes to mine. And because you are mining faster, you will be able to level faster. Once you reach a high enough level you could mine without the boost.  

Could just make it give you a boost in the first few levels perhaps

Special VIP mining zone with faster mines? It gives VIP more of a value than just the typical monthly crap hat/body, car or instrument.

Thanks

And I think they made iEra's mining underpowered so it didn't turn out like era pcs mining where you could grind through 60k in 30 mins  

Mining is really underpowered. It would take a year or more to make mining effective in money making. VIP would be nice too.

You purchase a super drill which uses a different battery. The super drill you bought will mine 2X faster but the battery for the super drill is more expensive than the regular battery. This is good for gathering minerals quickly in case the player decides to mine last second right after their weapon has rusted. In exchange, you are not getting profit from mining as you are ending up paying more money for the battery than what you earn from minerals.

Players keep asking other players for minerals because they don't want to mine for various reasons. Sometimes the player might be willingly to spend extra money to get minerals faster so they can repair their weapon with less waiting time.  

I think it would just be easier to have an upgraded battery, no drill. That way you can have different levels of boost, at varying prices. Like I said, it would be a good way to reach a level that makes mining viable for making money, though you won't make money while you are using the boosted batteries.  

all i have to say is make silver more common its so rare  

Era should start making quest that give you charms for boosting things such as 3x faster mining, a 50% chance of picking up 2 minerals and shells, and a 30% chance of picking up 2x as much mushrooms.
