DOFUS Guide: Miner Tips and Etiquette

   

Neurotic Dofus player rejoice, there is hope for you yet. I have discovered a profession completely geared towards players who have a deep seated root of repetitive behavior, and it is a desirable profession. Mining. Yes you read right. Mining.

Think being in a dark cave picking at rocks sounds like a bore? Well far be it from the truth. I have found mining to be rewarding and extremely profitable.

When you decide to take on a profession in Dofus, a whole new world seems to open up. You now have a talent, desirable to other players, and you start to make some serious bank. Mining has padded my bank account in a way which I wish translated into the real life world.
 

Mining is extremely easy to start at. First you need to go to (9,-23) in Astrub and talk to Chipo Atufe [Inside Cave] or you can talk to Casper Van Brushing in Amakna (-1, 5). From either one of those conversations, you must either buy a miners axe or barter for it. And guess what? You are now a Miner! That’s it! No complicated or tedious hoops or quests to conquer. Just spend 150 Kamas and you are now an official cave dweller.

Next you need to find a cave, or series of caves. You will start with simple plentiful metals. As you go on, you will not only gain experience with each level, but you will become more efficient at mining. Your time to harvest metals will decrease, and your types of harvest-able metals will increase. acheter des kamas

But don’t think it’s all rosy and perfect, there are obstacles. You will have to research your mines on the Dofus wiki- because you might get yourself into a mine with aggressive monsters. That is not a fun process, and take that from someone who kept trying over and over to get around the evil beasts, with little to no success. So if you have strong aggressive attacks with your character, then my all means, give those mines a shot. But if you are like me, and are not an aggressive or powerful character, stick to the mines without the monsters or dark miners. They are a real drag!

You will also encounter other miners, competition can be fierce, but if you plan right, you can really be a mining machine. Plan your routes; look for mines near each other, so you can literally do rounds. If you run through a mine, and see it’s been picked over, run to the next mine, and so on. You might have to do this a few times, but if you keep a tight loop, you will always be getting something in your inventory. Speaking of inventory, keep a close eye on it. There is nothing worse than getting a good chunk of rock, only to have to drop it because you didn't notice you were at maximum capacity!

My recommendation is to invest in potions, a recall potion, and a portion which will take you close to your bank of choice. You will need it! Metals are heavy, and you will need to drop them into your bank account to amass any real substantial quantity. Then once your deposits are made, hit that recall potion to get back to your mining stomping grounds. It’s a great way to spend time in-between dungeon runs and doing souls in the arena. guild wars 2 gold

Another good investment is a mount. Using your Dragon Turkey as a pack mule can really pay off. It will save you a lot of running back and forth to the bank. You might even consider investing in a work. This strange looking little troll increases you load capacity dramatically. I never realized how handy this little guy was, or I would have invested in him right away. Don’t get me wrong, he ain't a cheap pet, you will shell out a very serious amount of Kamas, but with increased carrying capacity, you can make that money back quickly with only a few runs of ore to the Market.

If you find you are running short on cash then you need to hit the Miner’s Markets! There is one in each of the three major cities. You can sell in single, tens, or hundreds of any metal. Do your research and know the current selling price. Don’t go crazy...keep your prices close to current, that way you will make the most bang for your rock. And trust me, those rocks move! In one hour I made over $100,000 Kamas on iron alone!! And that was in one market!

Be respectful of other miners and don’t try to sell way under market value. We all want the same thing, to sell ore and make some Kamas. But it is very annoying to have someone posting metal at a fractional price, trust me; the demand is high enough you don’t need to do those kinds of things. Be smart about pricing and keep within 5 Kamas of lowest current price if you want to sell fast. It works and keeps the market price in good standing.

Mining will afford you to able to fund all those wonderful toys we all want! But be warned, you will have to check on your market items every now and then. I usually go directly to the market before I go to the bank so I can see if my items are still competitively priced. Do not be afraid to take rocks of the market, to reprice them, or even pull them completely until a later time. Just like anything else when it comes to the market, timing is everything. You will find hot times when you notice your items sell. If you actually pay attention to that, you can make a killing. Think of it as an MBA in Dofus selling strategies. Using the market is no different than using your character attacks in battle, it’s all about strategy and it really does pay off. Personally I have found the best routine is to hit the market, and place anything I need to up for sale, than hit the bank. I hate paying to access a bank account if it’s not necessary.

As you become a more skilled miner you will run into Crack rock monsters. They will just be there- kinda like picking possessed rock. They will surprise you and you will never know when or where they will pick a fight with you in a mine. They are easy to defeat, and seem to be just a fact of mining live. But don’t fret; they make the hassle worth the while. When you defeat the Crack rock he will give you a bag of metal. It will get dropped into your resources. The trick is to click on the bag of metal, and it will unpack into your harvested metals. Think of it as a give from the Mining Gods. They just bestowed you with a bag of free metal which you can now go and sell guilt free on the Miner’s market for a very nice profit. You will learn to appreciate those Crack rock monsters. acheter des kamas sur dofus

If you are in a guild, or have friends in different professions, you can barter and trade precious metals for other goodies. This way you can always have a good market, everyone trades-person needs supplies, and metals are in hot demand. So be prepared to have lots of new friends, and a heck of a lot of money!

Mining may sound like an unglamorous profession, and maybe to some extent it is...but if you stick to it, you will be up to your eyeballs in Kamas. And who doesn't love that?

Battle full career in the high segment Mat Road explain how to play the assassination 4?

     Here to explain, because the skills are not out to recruit strokes clear that they are able to be talked about just about accurate even move I can not remember the look of giddiness and body surgery skills are almost like, so explain it The comparison is not so accurate, but simply the skills of cracking or clear As for assassination skills change tactics I not so proficient, so please forgive. Continue to explain the skills to crack.

     Invisibility. Invisibility finally want to address. The era before the assassination, stealth is not so hateful, but from the bullets out of stealth really good skills hateful, so this I also specifically issued a plus point of the Taoism posts order is breaking stealth. Tracking bombs, his stealth position immediately opposite the stealth put tracking bomb, can track stealth units.

    2, to kick off the Star. This skill should pay attention to fight strokes, because his skills to hit the people is invincible status and floating. Invincible is a relatively long time, so pay attention to their own Taoism puncture do not hit this skill, very sad reminder. cheap C9 gold

    3, for the assassination of the hands. Plenty of people want to know what starting hands to play assassination. Generally divided into two categories. The first category, the assassination initiative to attack you, keep in mind that no matter how he jumping around, spotted his skills, if any skills close to your body, Direct Black Swan Dance ~ how do we want to fast, and quickly deflected perspective, can be hard-Direct Connect, if he just is invincible skills Spell out directly double click, not recommend flat pick attack, because now flat pick attack easily caught, but some distance away from you, with a flat pick hit it.

    Instantaneous step hands assassination. This need not go into detail, direct red escapement encounter will bend the assassination but keep in mind that you can escape toward you go, we must understand how to bend his final placement, if you turn fast enough perspective or stiff his!  sell C9 Gold items COTN

    The skills of the assassination is probably so few eating skills, others are even strokes used, not more than that to fight other professions are going to be chasing close fight to fight, and the only one assassination, remember not silly red past, until he come, even if they have to take the initiative to attack, we must maintain a good distance! Remember, perspective must be referred to the fast, self-defense skills Black Swan Dance Double-energy storm less closing strokes too slow, the critical moment of unparalleled Flurry can have an unexpected effect Oh, because of the unparalleled flurry instant invincible tyrants body, in short, , fine! Do not be attacked assassination ends here under occupation, the bullet will not speak of it, too strong, currently not mature play, end of career.  buy c9 gold     buy or sell GW2 items   acheter des kamas

Behind The Scenes: January 2013

    We love starting each new year with something large, and this year is no exception. Cue the Kalphite King and our first ever level 90 equipment!

(1)  sell cheap runescape gold

Kalphite King

     Since the dawn of time, the Kalphite Lair has been born and reborn, as each new queen ascends to rule over her beetly minions. In the sandy depths, way below the inhospitable Kharidian Desert, a new foe has emerged and it’s eager to spill your blood and feed its ravenous nest. This new kalphite has taken a different, far larger and brutal form, however, and even the queen herself isn't capable of ruling over him. It can only be...the Kalphite King.

    In this brand new, instanced boss fight, you’ll need to work cooperatively with a group of high level friends to avoid a quick and ungraceful death, including learning how to dodge the most damaging NPC attack ever! He'll have a large range of potential attacks, keeping even the most effective teams on their toes. The fight itself will be instanced, so there won’t be any issues of overcrowding or run-ins, as you'll be able to set rules to control who can join you for the fight.  cheap dofus gold      Sell Runescape Items

   If you are skilled enough to prevail, the potential loot from this chitinous menace will be huge. To start with, he'll drop a range of new, level 90 weaponry focused around dual-wielding melee users, with both main and off-hand maces, longswords and rapiers. All-new kalphite enemies will also drop the resources needed to repair this magnificent new equipment.

   In this brand new Kalphite Hive, you’ll be able to fight through graphically reworked kalphites; perfect for kalphite Slayer assignments. We’re even overhauling their drop tables to make fighting them more profitable.

   Hati Wolf and Friends

   It’s winter again, and - as sure as the seasons themselves - the legendary wolves, Hati and Sk?ll, stalk the Fremennik forests and fjords once more.

   Each wolf requires a group of experienced players to defeat, with Hati focused around combat skills, and Sk?ll having a rather interesting Firemaking alternative to traditional hack-and-slash techniques.

   The brave adventurers who assist in their demise will receive a selection of wolf cosmetic gear (a brand new one, as well as all of the existing pieces) and an angry-wolf-sized chunk of bonus XP in Combat, Woodcutting and Agility.

   Desert Area Tasks

   The king isn't the only desert content we're adding this month: we're introducing the newest of our task sets, which covers all of the Kharidian Desert.

   The task set incorporates 4 different levels of player skill, covering the traditional 'easy', 'medium', 'hard' and 'elite' categories, with elite requiring such levels as 91 Thieving 89 Crafting, to name a few. For those of you that haven’t tried a task set before... what have you been doing? Think of it like an awesome list of things to do, where you'll need to visit all four corners of the desert, collecting items, visiting hidden pockets of the game world and earning cool rewards while you do it.

   Rewards are, as always, numerous, and along with a hefty chuck of XP, crafters, herblorists and miners will be particularly pleased with what we have planned. As always, the rewards will include a piece of upgradeable gear - an amulet, in this case. We're also including some new daily rewards, rerolls for the Dominion Tower and improvements to two of the older, more neglected desert weapons.

Demon Flash Mobs

   The demons have entered an arms race! Unknown to many, demons don’t just follow the word of Zamorak – far from it. Demons are looking to strengthen the presence (and power) of their chosen god, and - in late January - you’ll be able to intervene...if you dare. These demons are summoning and empowering their most powerful generals to ravage the land; draining blood and harvesting souls for a mysterious cause. This has not gone unnoticed, and a Saradominist priest will need your help!

   Similar to the goblin flash mobs from 2012 (only much, much tougher) you’ll be able to fight groups of NPCs that appear in pre-determined locations (like the Wilderness and other dangerous zones) throughout the world. For those brave enough, new rewards await! This time you’ll be able to kit yourself out with the latest in warrior-chic: the demon slayer armour. In addition to its generous stats - equivalent to dragon armour - they'll also grant you increased XP when fighting demons, and an increased dodge chance when fighting the demon general that spawns at the end of the flash mob.(2)

Squeal of Fortune & Solomon's General Store

   There's plenty of cool content on the way from Yelps and Solomon this January, too. To complement the soon-to-be-released God Statues Distraction & Diversion, we'll be releasing Construction training packs on the Squeal of Fortune, giving you a chance to score some handy materials for improving your POH. There's also two sets of awesome-looking kalphite armour overrides, so you can get in touch with your inner invertebrate.  buy or sell Guild Wars 2 gold     C9 gold

  There's loads more to come as well as these: weekend boosts to Summoning XP from lamps and bags of cash from Yelps, and abduction teleports and some wickedly demonic armour from Solomon. If you fancy treating yourself to a few spins on the Squeal of Fortune or something sweet-looking from Solomon's Store, January's the time!

Have fun!

What is a 'Behind the Scenes' article?

Behind the Scenes is a sneak peek at the planned game updates that we hope to launch in the coming month.

This, however, is only a plan; not a promise that a particular update will be released in a particular way or at a particular time. To get you the highest quality updates as quickly as possible, we usually keep on tweaking and testing right up until the moment before release, so sometimes things change or take a bit longer than expected. We aren't afraid to change our plan if necessary, as we will never launch an update before it is ready.
