Method
A repeatable practical cycle
Choose banked ore or stackable tips
Banking keeps amethyst intact; chiselling trades time and market value for longer sessions.
Mine an available crystal
Stay on the vein until it depletes, then move to the nearest active one.
Use glove and ring bonuses
Expert mining gloves can prevent depletion, while the Celestial ring improves the Mining roll.
Bank or process
Deposit ore nearby or chisel it into the ammunition component with the best current use case.
XP vs profit
What changes the tradeoff
About 19.2K to 24K Mining XP/hr at 80 to 100 amethyst
Each amethyst gives 240 Mining XP. Banking preserves the ore's current value; chiselling it into stackable ammunition components extends trips but may reduce profit.
