Bloodstone lvl 2 ,can't dig it.....

[Biddas]

i get 110 str ,14 quality pickaxe,and it says me it is very hard to dig here,other walls are saying you cann't even manage this wall
How many str do i need to get ?what quality of pickaxe should be?i'm really tired of this fucking hardness of walls....
IS skill Deep Artifice gives a chance to make lower hardness and getting this ore ?

You must have hit some hardness node. Some other guy reported he could mine bloodstone on level 2 with 90+ strength

[Biddas]

How i can count and be sure that i'm ready to dig such walls?

[Procne]

You can't see hardness of walls. You can only try to mine and see if it works.
From what I remember, your mining "ability" is defined by sqrt(strength*tool quality) and that value is compared with rock's hardness

[Gabula]

There's no way to check the hardness of the level below you... Sucks when you built a minehole on top of a hardness node

[Hervarth]

Stuff seems considerably harder than in legacy, it seems. But it was easier to get good wood there so maybe thats the difference....

And mid to high Q stone and ore on first level. Think I typically had a q40+ pick as I was descending into the second level along with the 100+ STR previously.
