It seems to be a very good quest for exp/gold, but some of the monsters are REALLY REALLY nasty!!
This quest can be a real problem for ppl who play AQ from comp cafe's, as you need to stay logged in for several days to complete the quest (10 of 16 gems to choose from, 1 egg, lg pebbles, sm pebbles, shiney pebbles) to create 1 koofu .... wheeew!!!
I've seen posts on AQ forum that says once you hit 50 items, that you then get 5 items per mining instead of 1. Haven't gotten there yet to confirm this, but that sure would help. I don't know if the AI keeps track of your 'mining skill' if you log off though.
I discovered a 'hot spot' inside the mines to heal/replace HPs and MPs without having to leave the mine, then return by talking to Alana (via 33 clicks .....grrrrrr.....this makes me CRAZY). I don't think it's considered a spoiler if I don't say 'where' in the mine... but it's there Took me 2 hours to discover it
Happy Hunting ~ P ~
UPDATE: After 50 mining sessions, you then get 2 items each time. Still haven't gotten a koofu yet, so can't say if this quest is worth the time. The monsters are tough, though.
UPDATE #2: Mining 'skill' is kept after logging off, or as in my case, traveling to 'Sinister 7 War' in order to obtain a Helm of Drakonnen, going thru that entire quest ... then getting stuck there!! (I was 1 gem away from my first koofu, got stuck in 'Sinister 7 War' and couldn't get back to Battleon) Had to log off ... Lost all the gems, etc. I had gathered for 2 whole days ...... grrrrr!!
