Mining
Go to one of the locations listed and take the mining quest from Gnomish Taskmaster. After you accept a mining quest you have 15 minutes to collect as many fossils as you can. Stay in the area that you accepted the quest at but move around as fast as you can. If you don't move you wont get any fossils.
Tips: When mining do 2 quests back to back do not delay inbetween quests. Use Horn Of Plenty to triple the amount of fossils found. Dont pick up your fossils till you have done your second quest. This helps prevent pkers killing you and taking your fossils or people using Sleight Of Hand to steal them from you.
When mining in chaos zones only take enough money for 2 quests so if you do get killed by a pker you do not lose hours worth of work. Once your done with second quest put your fossils away in your inn and grab more money to do 2 more quests.
When mining and there are aggressive monsters in the area that attack you. Move back and forth between the same 2 or 3 squares. This reduces the amount of monsters that will attack you and slow you up from collecting fossils. This also makes less running around to collect fossils once the license runs out.
If you are trying to raise your mining skill the fastest mine sulphur. You still get the same amount of fossils just your skill does not raise that fast when you mine Calx. The more expensive it is to mine an area the faster your mining skill lvl raises.
For every level of proficiency, chance of finding 2 minerals instead of one is increased by 1%.
