Ok, here's the deal. Myself and a few LS mates mine fairly regularly, and the absolute only place to get platinum is in Palborough Mines. I strongly believe that your chances of getting platinum are highest on Lightsday, as my friend has gotten 3-4 in one run (about 4 stacks of axes) and I've pulled up 2 on one Lightsday. Other days I'm lucky to get one. To support this theory is the fact that to get platinum nuggets from gardening, you need to plant on lightsday, and feed the cuttings light crystals. Each ore corresponds to a specific element, for instance, mythril (also only found in Palborough, sells for 1.2-1.4k) can be found primarily on ice day, and some on other days, but somewhat rarely. I've pulled up 4 mythrils in a row on ice day, after going through nearly 2 stacks of axes on windsday, breaking alot and pulling a few Iron/zinc, and lots of pebbles, copper and tin. This is just my mining insight, take it as you want.

Nope... those seems are used to get Mythril Dust, which is used for a quest, I believe. Didn't find this out until I had wasted entirely too many pickaxes and came out with lots and lots of dust. Anyway, as for mining points, just keep looking. If the area has a high miner rate, it can take a while, but then again, it seems many aspects of this game are built around spending way too much time waiting for stuff :)
besides mining what is a great way to make money for a level 25monk/10 theif.
o and for you guys what ya have to do to increase the chance is get theif to level 15 and yor rare item find greatly increases, im working on that now :)
there is a reason is worth 41k cause it so dahm hard to find when u do u better get somethen out of it..id say if u aint willingto spend bout 2-4 days in the mines u aint gonna get what ur looken for
Just buy 3-4 stacks of Pickaxes, and if you're a high enough level that they won't agro, drop all armor/un-needed items. Then just spend a day or two mining. My friend said it took awhile, but he came out about 350k richer from mining in there. It wasn't just one trip, mind you.)
If you are a decent level, just take what you might need to survive. Weapon and such. At level 30 , the higher Quadavs conned easy prey. I hope they're TWTBW for a 33 now. ^^
