whismerhill Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Is there a way ingame to find tips & information about the location of mines (any type of ore really) ?thanks. PS: I already know how to find all the locations on the web through wikis... EDIT: as of right now I tend to explore the wilderness to find things, however I tend to get distracted by attacks and also some leirs/cave or whatnot also have ore veins in them while not really being "mines" so ...and while doing this I level up, and quickly I drop what I wanted to forge ...

IsharaMeradin Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 One option is to get Secondary Locations, talk to the added NPC to purchase 9 ore mines to discover that weren't apparently marked as mines if marked at all. Then if you don't want to actually discover them, that NPC sells a book which you can use to expose all the extra markers but that does take a way a lot of the fun. Other than that I've no clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy1123 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 IF you wish to stay immersion friendly and locate mines in game, here is my solution. Get a horse and about 5 heal potions of any type. Leave all gear somewhere so you are not .. encouraged .. to debate a legion of MonkeyLions on where to store THEIR valuables. Then just run with your horse across the landscape. Not Really a Spoiler, but a little trick ..... A horse is about as close as you can get to an all terrain vehicle. It climbs like a spider and takes as much damage as a small armored tank when you ride it. They can run all day long. Act like Forest Gump - Run Foreset Run!!!.. You can map out about 85% of all the locations in a short evening on a new character game. Don't forget you left ALL your equipment (except the heals - just in case) behind. So don't go attack the displaced farmers on your journey. They have scarey and rusty daggers. ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whismerhill Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 thank you IsharaMeradin& lol funny brandy I wish "mines" locations were added to tavern's random barter (when you ask if there's some rumors) or something like that ho well ...

IsharaMeradin Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 @Brandy_123Since the introduction of mounted combat, doesn't matter if I keep running or not eventually I get the horse shot out from under me :P Best use a mod that makes horses essential just to be safe ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnerman69 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 tmm 1,0,0 well show most map markers but wont let you fast travel to them tell there discovered first, some locations aren't given until a guard or quest gives the location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whismerhill Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 well thanks sinnerman69 but it's a bit too much knowing everything ain't my idea of fun, plus discovering locations by myself helps in knowing where I went or not (mostly...)
