lol you caught me being lazy, I used pfiffel’s site to confirm t8 values existed but didn’t bother to run the calc.
I guess it would be almost zero server cost but while I was playing with the atmosphere levels i never thought about the rocks actually getting harder around me. For some reason in the middle of everything else going on that sort of strikes me as freaky.
It looks like a mega strength will allow a full spec miner to 1 hit t8 rocks with a level 8 damage boon. If I’m doing it right.

I just want to add that while I know this thread probably has a limited audience by now, people aren’t exactly rushing to buy this stuff at 5400c unforged either.
This is all leading towards one inescapable conclusion about the intended/balanced market value of these gems/stones/whatever really.
To be honest, the chrysominter is a new thing and while I’d like to point out that on vandar, at least, you could hardly avoid getting showered in gold and silver, there’s not a lot of actual demand at the moment. But the chrysominter is here now and the devs were literally throwing coin at us in massive amounts here.
I decided to turn mine into bonding agents. I’ve bought SO MUCH mantle and bone. But that’s a personal choice and I wasn’t looking for these I took them as I found them. But I will say that between what i mined on vandar and the amazing density in sedimentary layers on ord trian, I definitely handled around a quarter million coin worth of fossils last week.
CHRYSOMINTER coins no need to even discuss market or demand.
And i can tell you 100% for sure that many people were passing these up like trash. Even after multiple threads to raise awareness to the fact that they have become one of the most profitable loots of any mining right now.
But anyone who was attentive can afford to sell these gems in a price range where they have some utility, even though that might wreck those that rushed out and did nothing but bore straight for the special ore passing up everything else with limited time.
It’s a bit to think about.
I do know who bought the hammer and the shovel at 5400c (or tax free equivalent). If I’m not around and one of you comes for the slingbow that’s in that pic before anyone else bothers, snap a screencap of yourself buying it and I’ll throw in the axe for 2500c.
