Anyone with Associate or higher should be able to use these mines. If you find one that isn't set to Associate or higher, please /chat Cegaiel or another Elder to fix (chat or leave a message, if offline). Also if you are working a sand mine and the repair number/costs is getting too high (ie 4-5 or higher), then /chat Cegaiel or another Elder to tear the mine down and rebuild. It will be cheaper to rebuild than repairing with high numbers (Sand mines only)... Looking for a huge gem? Then after 5 repairs and no huge gem, might be time to tear down and rebuild, per Rabble's huge gem theory.

ATTENTION: There is a warehouse beside the guild house (usable by Associates). Please check in there for ore before you use the mines. We are trying to keep the repair costs down to a minimum and Elders with Ore Extraction 5 will occassionally use their skill (plus memory game) to get the maximum yield (10 ore per pull) and take it to the warehouse. Its a win win. You don't have to run all the way out to the mine and the mine repair costs stay low.

O'Niner Miner: Recommended program to help automate mining (Clicking correct crystals, extra ore from memory game). Note its a Windows program.
