Lavi's Mining Research (Limsa Lominsa)

Hello

(Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I am doing my very best
Welcome to my mining research thread.
I'm gonna be mining until PS3 release so I figgured I'd do some looking into mining.

First things first.
I'm working on a Exposed Ore(Aim) and Strike zone yielding list.

To better understand what I'm talking about I'll include some pictures ^^;



I split the AIM into 6+ to -6. 1 is the default position it will always be on when you start mining.
I also split the STRIKE zone into 3 zones. Red is center, Green is middle, Blue is outher.

I have found that mining on the same AIM repeatedly does not affect what item you get.
I mine 10 mining points at the same AIM pr. test. (10 points x 6 strike = 60 items)

Grade 1

Mining point map to help with finding the points along with survey.

(Map is not finished. 100 stands for 100 yalms)
