| Mining gear question... So, I'm big into mining, so obviously I've got my Field set. However, I've heard that the Worker's set improves mining results also. As the field set is level 1 gear, and the workers set is level 15, is the workers set actually better in terms of mining results? A rl friend (and ls mate) does most of his posting/research on alla, and on the few threads there on the subject of workers gear, some people say "Yeah, it's great!" and other's say "Crap, doesn't improve mining at all". I checked ffxiclopedia to see if there was a hard stat, but both field and workers says just "improves", but doesn't quantify at all.
I know it's pretty much luck (I'm not expecting some magical piece of gear that gives me darksteel's every time, although that would be freakin SWEET), but is there any concrete evidence out there for field gear versus workers gear in terms of results? Anyone other miner's out there have experience with the workers set? The Workers Tunica is 250k by itself on Fairy, so if I'm gonna drop 300k on a new mining set, I wanna make sure I'm not throwing my hard earned gil away...
Also, would one need to have the complete set to get the mining bonus? Like, if I wear the Field Tunic and Gloves and Workers Hose and Boots, would that still be better then a complete Field set?
Lastly, am I just thinking too hard about this? ^^ |
