Digging

Digging Time (GC Server Time)

Dig times (server time)
2-6:30 pm: Very good for commons, 1 in 20 is a rare or uncommon
6:30-7 pm: Rares
7-8:30 pm: Good for commons
8:30-9 pm: Uncommon
12:50-2:30am: OK for commons
5am - 8am: Good for commons couple of rares and uncommons too

Type of planet to use for digging:

Viral & Guard:
10land oceanic is the best for digging
The next best will be 11 - 15land oceanic
After that will be 2land u.spazial
All the above planet can be found through planet exploration
The perfect digging planet will be 1land oceanic or u.spazial, which can only be get from admin giving out planet as reward for in-game event

All other Race:
U.spazial work better than oceanic.
2land u.spazial will be the best you can get from exploration
1land u.spazial is the perfect digging planet which can only be get from in-game event hosted by admin

Digging Strategy

Digging Rare:
Use major afortunado at 1st time u dig.. then dig.. then use 2 major suerte every 2-3 dig
Use 6 turns per dig

Diggging Uncommon:
Use 6 turns per dig

Digging Common:
Use 3 turns per dig



Aba`s Digging Guide and How To Make 100 Gordos A Week!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


intro:

some people, after maxing infra or hitting 100 infra, go to digging for artifacts to make gordos or other artifacts. this is usually due to them being able to make more money making gordos and making their colonies buigger and hence more land for more income than an actual infra level would give them.

other do it cos they can, like myself.

now first off wats a gordo and why the hell u want 100 a week?

a gordo is an artifact in the unique class, this means it CANNOT be dug up no matter how much u try. it, wen used, will increase the land of the top colony on your roster (first border) by between 25 and 40 for a miner gordo (the most efficiant to make, ill not bother going into majors at all as they give you less land per arty invested than equivilent minor gordos). they need 5 rare artifacts that CAN be dug up during rare times (6:30-7pm) or during common times (4pm-12pm server time). you can use uincommons to make the rares needed for the gordos and these can be dug up during the common time also and their special time of 9:30-10pm server time.

the recipe for miner gordos is this:

Minor Cosecha/ Minor Cosecha/ Minor Tierra/ Minor Alimento/ Minor Gente

in that exact order

The Planet To Dig On:

now most people believe that a 2 land u. spezial is the best to dig on for arties. this is not totally true. it does give higher than normal chances at artifacts but nothing massivly outragious. if ur hunting for uncommons get a 10-14 land oceanic or 2 land gas. though an oceanic ive personally found gives out more rares and uncommons than a gas but a little lower rare counter per dig than a spez (2 land spez vs 10 land oceanic 50 loyalty each) but the oceanic did get 1.5 times more uncommons during common times and uncommon time.

ultiamtly its up to u. a spez is great as it cant be clustered and is with u untill u plunder it or loose it in battle. an oceanic or gas gets clustered its gone.


Tips for Digging:

during common times use 3 (yes THREE) turns a pop. why u may ask? u get an arty almost every turn invested into digging in common time if u do this. if you use 9 turns u usually get between 4 and 8...its just more efficiant to use 3 turns, but more click intensive.

for rare time use the full 9 turns and luck arties u find during the first 15 mins of the dig time. this is cos its just easier and rares pop up average 3-5 per 12 or 15 turns invested regarless on how u use the turns.

uncommon time hazel and myself have found it to be most efficiant to use 6 tirns per dig. this way u average 6-8 uncommons per 12 turns on a spez.


Fusing:

first u gotta have a cap lab..get that wait 3 days then ur good to rock and roll. use the site i gave above to find the combos and wat arties u need.


now the fun bit:

100 Gordos a Week: How To Do It?

the simple way to do this is dig from 6pm to the end of common time. once u start to get max commons fuse them up and keep digging.

doing it this way the ONLY limiting factor will be the amount of assimilated bases u can find per week as they are the only non-fusable artifact needed to make gordos and are thus the bottle neck. they are needed in the Gente`s so digging during rare time and uncommon time CAN get u wat u need, its better to dig all the way through and fuse as u go.

in the second day of doing this u should hit max common orbs. once u hit around 200 of each start fusing before the dig time. this way u can dig all teh way through and never worry about fusing during the dig times and loose turns doing 2 hours worth of fusing if u forget to do it for a few days.

you will find some orbs are used more than others. these are the yellow, golden and pink. these buggers seem to be hard as hell to find once u start to get fusing to uncommon and rare arties as they are needed most in the uncommons.

now then for a neat little tip too:

arties ATTRACT each other.

wat the **** he on about u may ask?

hear me out and u will thank me later. if u have more of a cirtain artifact u will seem to find MORE of it than any other of that class (common, uncommon or rare). use this to ur advantage. how? let the assimilated bases build up till u have around 100 whilst fusing all the rest of the uncommons to rares.

this way u will find more assimilated bases faster.

Useless arties:

bronze dineros are never used to make anything for gordos...use them on newbieies to give em creds to start out or urself if ur desperatly low on cash :P

there u go..hope u get 100 gordos a week

use this guide well :P

Note: Some of the digging tips above might sound contradicting. This is due to the tips come from different people and they have different digging experiment. No ones know exactly what factors and to what extend it affect digging performance. So just use the above as a guide, try out different combination to find out what work best for you.
