Ok, so someone please tell me if I just am having bad luck finding ore or if the 50% concentrations are as high as it gets. I am used to pulling up organics and metal which can go into the 90% range. If the 50's is as high as it gets I have passed up at least 7 spots in the last two days while looking for higher concentrations. Please advise. Thank you.

50% is a decent spot... 60% is a good spot... 70%+ is a real find.

Not sure why ore is like this.

Thanks for the quick answer now I feel silly that I passed up all those spots, ugh. Oh well live and learn, and yeah it is odd that ore is the only thing I have found to have such low concentrations.

Highest I have seen so far was 75% on Sunrunner.
50% is decent. I don't go lower than 45%

I don't think I have ever been over 55%. Im happy with anything over 40%.

They changed ore concs in BETA. They used to be the same as everything else. Can't remember there logic exactly, knowing the devs it was circumspect.

The tradeoff is that ore has a very large area that it deacreases or increases in concentration. (IE low concentration spread out over a very large area).

/agree - 60% is my record after nine-odd months at it! If I found a 70% spot, I'd assume I was dreaming

I recently had a 60%+ spot on a high quality ore in a place where I just happened to have harvesters already placed! I almost cancelled my account, because I figured itcouldn't get anybetter than that

Thisargument falls as you need about 10 times as much ore as other resources and you dont get any more lots than 10. (If you had more lots you would want bigger areas). This applies only to miners who lot trade, and that applies to like 1% of the server population...

Actually the argument still works because everyone needs what ore makes, and if the concentrations weren't spread out then only a few people would get it. This way, everyone gets some ore and if you want bulk ore you have to do business for it. It makes sense for plants and chemicals to be concentrated, with minerals diffusely spread everywhere.

another thing about it that's rough, ore doesn't last very long, usually 7-9 days - while resources such as flora can go over 20 days.

when picking up a heavy harvester costs 4500, that hurts...
