rare copper

[Nimmeth]

Thank you again for all these explanations. It's perfectly clear for me now. I'll cross the fingers to finally find a copper vein and if not, I'll make coins to buy it.

yea, it's not rare at all. you've been unlucky but lucky with the silver

The Wiki should be corrected about making silver coins :

Players may mint Silver Bars into 250 Silver Coins.

Crime: you commit the act of Forgery.
Forgery scents lasts 5 months.
Players should not engage in forgery unless they are doing so in a location they plan on securing for an extended period of time.

Mine Special Conditions:

You can't claim the inside of a mine so structures and items are vulnerable to Larceny and Waste. Other forms of crime however, such as Forgery and Poisoncraft, will leave scents per usual.

Note : the link for forgery send you to the page of the debasement.

i don't see the error? except that 250s from a silver bar won't leave scents: 500s from 1 silver + 1 iron does. That said, you need the debasement skill for that so just don't buy that one if you don't plan on using it.

The Wiki says : if you mint silver bars into 250 silver coins, you commit the act of forgery and you leave scents. It doesn't speak about debasement at all and don't explain the difference between forgery and debasement. In fact, I think it's the same thing (maybe a change of word in the game) but it's not clear at all. I have read the wiki about silver coins few weeks ago when I have found my first silver vein and I didn't mint it in coins because of that.

And I think I'm not the only one who has understood that and it will change the life of many new players. I understand why debasement is a crime (like in RL it's forbidden to lower the amount / rate of a precious metal in a coin. It's false money). Please have a look on the page of the silver coins : http://salemwiki.info/index.php/Silver_Coins and tell me what a new player can understand.
I'm not complaining, just pointing a wrong or at least incomplete information.

I clarified the explanation, it should now be more clear.

Perfect ! Thank you so much. Hope that will help.

The wiki is great but it is still lacking due to how much information is out there and unknown to people.

For the record, you can always post things you'd like to see in the wiki at http://forum.salemthegame.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15688&start=30.

The wiki is player-run so there can easily be errors when someone edits it with either mistaken information or misleading information. One hopes that someone else will come around and fix it, but that's the risk of wikis.
