I was waiting for a response cause I'm hesitant to go down... as I have read on WIKI about GO when doing so. Thanks Mate.. I was suprised to see this Entrance near my Entrance though

I remember JC saying at one point that the longer you work your mine the better chances your mine down will occur when encountering black tiles. So if you work an hour a night in your mine you will encounter your mine down in less time then the person that spends 5 hours in their mine a night. The person who spends 5 hours may find it faster but it will most likely be further away since they will have had to clear much more to find their mine down.

To clarify further. Every cave down starts at something worse than a 1 in 30,000 Hard Rock to find. The more certain things happen, the better those odds get. The farther down levels you go. The worse 'starting' position you are at for the purpose of calculating those odds.

Just like fields... The system HIGHLY rewards the person who goes "Slow and Steady" in terms of time spent vs. reward. I.E. a player who only spend 1 hour a day mining in his mine will go down to level 9 for FAR less TOTAL hours spent then the players who are strip mining. However, like most systems in Salem you can 'brute force' it just as you can brute force the speed of a field. Meaning the strip miner will still find that he is reaching level 9 considerably faster (but for more total hours) than a casual miner.
