Is mining dead now?

They might as well remove the mining points from Ifrits all together, expecially after the "if you stay in the zone to long you get worse results"

I've noticed this rare phenomenon too. It looks like because of the mining nerf, mining has become MORE profitable in the mines that drop drk/gold. Darksteel is up to 10k, Gold is 12k on Titan. I ran into Yughott(the only mine that isn't dominated by gilsellers on titan) and went through 10 stacks of picks and got around 130k. So I think you can probably make more steady profit mining Yughott/Gugsen now because of that, but if you get lucky in Ifrits, you could still make really good money. Getting lucky in Ifrits only happens every once in a while though...so thats what bites you in the ass. Plus spending 10-20k on picks and 10-20k on shinobi-tabi(when you only get 1 adaman, you just make your money back ; ; )

They are a steady 300k on my server!

OK I guess I'll give an update since this thread got revived. Adamans are back up to 90k on Titan, and Orichalcums are up to 130k or something like that. It appears that the prices HAVE finally rebounded, so I can finally take the mining gear out of the mog safe and get back to doing what I love ^^
