  Digging uncommons.  

Is anyone else having a hard time digging for uncommons? I`ve been trying for weeks on a mix of small planets ( 10 land ocean, 4 land u-spz, 3 land gas and others). All at the uncommon dig times and I`ve found only 4.

Is there only one type of planet you can find them on?

I probably wouldn`t get rid of the one housing on it, not really any point.

Sanitarium-

So should I should demolish all housing on my Uspaz2
and get loyalty up to 5000-

Or leave 1 housing?

you should always use suertes (major better, minor less good) or afortunados before digging at rare time

you`ll find it`s well worth it.

Yeah its the first border planet...

I`ve been farming artis with a 3 land spaz and it has been doing great for me... getting an average of about 2 or 3 uncommons per 6 turns :).

One more... the gordo description says something about the furthest planet, meaning benifits the first border planet? I don`t want to waste one to find out on my own.

I`m hitting about 1 rare out of three to five turns on a 2 land gas (unpaid-no extra loyalty.) What`s eveyone else getting?

I`m not an expert, but the big toe in formaldihide I keep next to me for advice has told me to keep housing to a minimum on the crabpiest planet you can find, then invest many turns in loyalty to prove my dedication to the RARE GODS before loosing countless hours of sleep... mindlessly clicking the dig button and thinking "8 seconds per turn?!! That`s a whole 4 min before I can waste even more of my pointless life digging for virtual artifacts!" Click.... click....click.... (4 min pause) Click! click-CLICK! ("YES! 3 raraes!" smoke half a pall mall 100... run back inside!) CLICK! CLICK! CLLLICK! ("Crap! Nothing!" Stomp outside smoke other half....) change dig turns down to two hoping it helps... clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick... " WTF! COMMON ORB?!!!" *Looks at game clock and realizes rare time is over... untill tommorow...

I`ve got a 2 land U.spaz that`ll probably be part of a Juicy Reward soon, if you want a good digging planet VALJA. You`ll just need to be on at the right time :P


1. No, it`s all individual
2. No idea, don`t think so if you haven`t used any turns, unless you log out, then it might
3. Look to 1

Hmm... a few more questions:

1) do we all draw from the same artifact pool which means the more people digging the less artifacts recovered?
2) if you leave and do something else (check forum for example) then come back to dig have you broken the chain count of how many times you have dug?
3) if we are finding artifacts from the same pool does the type of planet draw from seperate pools

sigh... no wonder i didn`t get as good result as b4... sanitarium took away some of it... :(

lol... j/k... all the best with your new digging "tool"... still, IF you can get 2 landsize spaz would be even better... ;)

step 1... set an alarm clock or stopwatch that you can set up to go off every 5 mins...

step 2... when the alarm goes off, click 1 turn or 2 tursn per excavation until all your turns gone...

step 3... repeat step 1...

:P

it`s 6 i believe and that depends on personal beliefs and probably the planet you`re using as well, me i like using 9 turns simply because i don`t have to think about it and i only notice a better yield every 1 out 4 times i use 6 turns at a time the other 3/4 i seem to end up with less
