And thx to mod Sevenless we got nice post about that?
I don't understand how both of you can be so ignorant. I learned about the mining purity from playing during the last world, and monitoring conversations in IRC. When you factor in the addition of using dross as a fertilizer, and the confirmation that fertilizers did help with increasing purity...it became quite obvious that the farming industry was dependent on the metal industry. Not that any of this matters anymore because fertilizer effects on crop purity doesn't matter as much any more (if at all). I think it was changed because either a)using dross to raise crop purity was overpowered to an extent, or b)it lead to people like myself not using any fertilizers at all to maximize purity output.
When Sevenless came back to Salem at the beginning of this world I had a chat with him about farming, mines, fertilizers and it lead to him adding a prospecting section to his guide.
It had absolutely nothing to do with secret information, or getting 'inside info', and everything to do with actually playing the game.
