So aside from prospecting and building a mine hole to go down, the way to find ore is to randomly dig at the walls of caves one tile at a time? Is finding ore very difficult?

At first level shouldn't be much of a problem, specially if you already have a pickaxe.
If you are searching for a specific ore, then I strongly recommend prospecting.

Cool, so just getting metal shouldn't be much of a hassle then. Last thing: What is a recommended strength and hitpoint value I should have before mining? I hear each rock that hits you in a cave in does 50, so would over 150 be a good start?

[Arcanist]

as much as possible. yeah, 150 would be a good start, but with the new mining rules, nobody should get a cave in, ever. Basically only mine when you're standing on cave terrain, or when you're under the radius of a support.

there are some tiles in cave walls you can even mine with STR 12 with q 10 Stoneaxe but it will take really long and you'd need to drink alot...

I have 25 str and a q27 axe and was able to mine ore within 4 seconds

How does the game calculate total punch dmg with Soldier's Gauntlets?
For example 40 str punch: 0.75 * 50 * sqrt(40/10) = 75
How much will it be with 10q gauntlets?
a. 0.75 * 50 * sqrt(40 / 10) + 10 = 75 + 10 = 85
b. 0.75 * 50 * sqrt(40 / 10) + 10 * sqrt(sqrt(40 * 10) / 10) = 75 + 14 = 89
c. 0.75 * (50 + 10) * sqrt(40 / 10) = 90
d. 0.75 * (50 * sqrt(40 / 10) + 10 * sqrt(sqrt(40 * 10) / 10)) = 85
e. some another weird formule?

Is there any reason to rise stealth to high amounts?
Scents around 200 along with high q ranger's set and high amounts of int can become really invisible to those who dont rise exploration/perception high enough.
Also do scent's charges depend on your exploration*perception against perp's stealth*intelligence? or they depend only on how long scents exist?

Is there any reason to aim for high q ranger's bows? pve/pvp?
100q ranger's bow for instance have 948 dmg, counting high q bone arrows and full martial, dmg may go 1200+ - oneshot for any animal, including bears with a bit of luck. As for pvp i think everything much worse: oneshot for low armored noobs or non-combat chars, but no dmg for any heavy armored pvp-char, even if i do max dmg.

as far as stealth, I never do...as long as you keep your place secure being found is no big deal

RBow doesn't go through armor(though it should) so higher quality to take out the guys walking around in steel plate

If this is known I would like to know the minimum stats to one punch a bear, Its my only goal

formula for punch damage
0.75 * 50 * sqrt(Strength / 10)

bears have 800 hp, and you'll also need enough UA to get through their defense bar

You'd need about 4500 STR.
