Mining hat

[Emerald]

MATHS

That's the way I see it. I've continued using it over the past week. After logging the contents of my cart/inventory at the end of each mining trip I'm unable to differentiate the end result between runs in which the hat is used and in which the hat isn't used, and I've done at least 10 240-pick trials by now. The only difference I notice is...

- Even though I've gone through over 2000 picks I haven't gotten any more orichalcum ores. That part is a little odd, normally it's about 1 in every 1000 picks or less.
- It could be in my head, but it takes a little longer to mine and get the same result.

Some runs go worse with the hat on than without it; and not just for rare goodies like golds/orichalcum ores/treasure boxes/martin cards, the common things like iron ores and crystal blues. That's how little its bonus effects the outcome; almost as though it isn't even there.

Mining is still nice and profitable either way and I'm thankful for that, but unfortunately the bonus that the hat provides is borderline non-existent.
