2 gems in a row?

[MrBowser]

Ok, i was mining recently, when i got 2 gems in a row... Now, i mine a lot, and I have never had this happen before... Here is the proof shot. Has anyone else had it?

 

 

 

[Smapla]

it's very rare, but i've heard of it before.

 

 

 

think about it:

 

 

 

lets say the odds of mining a gem from a rock are 1:100 - > 1/100

 

 

 

for two gems, multiply these two:

 

 

 

1/100 ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ 1/100 = 1/10,000

 

 

 

I operate under the assumption that every time the mining proces starts, you are randomly destined to either mine a gem, or mine the ore. if you mine the gem, it just restarts the mining function, which then offers the chance to mine another gem.

I saw a screen of a quad gem find. Double gems are still rare though :P Shame they were saphires :D

[the_korny]

i've actually had this happen at least three times to me

 

 

 

emerald, sapphire

 

sapphire, sapphire

 

sapphite, emerald

 

 

 

or maybe one was diamond, sapphire

This has happened to me before to, but it seems from what ive heard double gems are hardly ever above emeralds. It is just insane luck :thumbsup:

If you wear an amulet of glory the chances of a double gem

 

is huge , however i got 99 mining in f2p and had this only once

 

at the end of my goal. I belive getting it without a glory amulet

 

is very rare.

I think I've had saphirre, ore, ruby, but nice find! =D>

[Bashful]

I see you have the fisher realm whistle thingy - what is the procedure for mining banking at that place and how does it compare to dwarfs mine?

Possible incident. Even triple or quadraple gems are possible. It seems to happen more often in higher lvl rocks which you take a longer time to mine.

I believe setting house in brimhaven and running from your house should be faster and more ores per hour. Can't really say for sure. The dwarf's mine is not good for bulk mining and the rocks are scattered as welll as the fact you are travelling with a 30+kg helmet. For every trip with roc you would lose 3 gold ores, which can add up.

I got a double gem as well yesterday. I was packing a glory and I was mining coal 2 emeralds didnt think much of it lol.

[vleademir]

whats the whistle for?

[meol]

The Whistle allows you to get into the King Fisher's realm (the entrance is a bit north of that mine), where you can access a Fairy Ring. Then, you are able to teleport to Edgeville and bank there. It's similar to the Arzinian Mines method, because you waste two inv spots (pickaxe/dramen staff/lunar staff and the magic whistle).
