Ores

With the release of professions, most of them require ores, jewels, and crystals to create items. One of the professions though is Miner...which is supposed to be allowed into a map where they can get ores pretty easily.

My question is, whether or not ores should still be droppable from monsters or not.

For some simple/low level quests you do need ores, so maybe you could try & find another type of item for the Miner proffesion? :o

By the way, alot of quests give ores as a reward & JQs give ores too. :/

Can you make only Miner get ore from mob drops ?
Also, another type for Miner would be ok

Umm, you could make it that the miner can find ores from monsters too. And if a miner's in a party you could make ores drop for team members too.

Or simply change miner xD

No. Each profession is suppose to have a unique ability, right? If everyone is able to find ores, then being a minor is pretty useless.

Ores should still be droppable from monsters, I think. The rate on them isn't exactly astoundingly high, so it doesn't affect balance in any way.
This "miner" profession could either recieve highly increased drop rates for the ores, or they could be given access to a special map with custom mobs that drop only ores but in great number (as Exia has suggested).

At least, that's my opinion on this.

My opinion is that the droprate of ores as they are now is cut in half, and then have miner professions have either

A) double/triple drop rate from normal
or
B) accessing special map with mobs/crates/rocks/whatever which drop ores at almost 100%.

i thought of something the items to make stuff instead of ores use ITCG drops that only drop in the mines but make it rare and also make them dropable that way you can ores from monster and miners also make the ITCG items on alot of the good items in BlackSmith and Alche need the ITCG item that way miners can be useful

Well if we're going to have iTCG items we may as well have the materials needed to make them. If done right, this does have quite a bit of potential to make an interesting market. I still say keep the ore drops the way they are, even miners will run low on supply sooner or later, which will create demand for ore and drive the economy. I say instead of any special maps for miners just increase their rate of finding ore and drop everyone elses.

More info on the professions would be great though. As without knowing the role of any of the other professions it's kind of hard to judge the miner's role in all this. We don't want to have constant server wipes after all, so take your time with the testing.
