Enmatter mining

One of the things you can mine in Entropia Universe is Enmatter. Enmatter is not metall, it’s other stuff. Oil, Nexus, Alencis, Melchi water is some of the things you can find. Mining is not as easy as hunting and is more expensive to get started with, but if you succeed you can make good mining loots. It's quite expensive, it will cost 50 cent for each try. And do not expect to find anything the first 10 times, but if you are very lucky you will find first time you try.

How to mine?
To mine you need some equipment to be able to do this. You need three things to get started:

	Enmatter finder, this is the tool you use to find enmatter it uses probes to find enmatter deep in the ground. You can buy one in some (not all)TT terminals or in Auction. To use it drag it to your quick bar and buy some probes. When you have probes in inventory and the detector in your quick bar you just hit the defined key once to activate the tool, then once again to drop a bomb. Wait a few seconds, the screen will shake and then your enmatter finder is shown and tells you if you where lucky or not. if you are lucky it will point in which direction your finding is. Run in that direction and when you reach the place the detector screen will be replaced with a loot window telling that you have claimed a recourse. A claim rod is placed near you, mark that and start using the next tool
	Enmatter extractor, this is the tool which will dig up the stuff you found. Put this tool on your quick bar and when you need to use it hit the key defined to it. First you have to mark a claim rod. You can buy a basic extractor in some TT or you can buy a really good one in the Auction.
	Enmatter probe, to be able to use the enmatter detector you need probes, the probes you can buy in some tt terminals and you get two for each PED you pay. When operating the detector you will release a probe and it drills in to the ground and detonates deep down. The detector uses the blast to locate enmatter.
	Claim rod, this is the marker of your findings and is not something you buy. The detector will place this for you.
	Finder amplifier, this is an attachment to your finder. It will hopefully help you find bigger quantities of enmatter. To attach it you drag it on to your finder, when the finder turns green you drop it. The amplifier you buy in auctions, shops or direct from another player.

How do I find the most?
If you look at the stats of your detector you will see what reach it has. Try to drop the probes so they match the detectors range, not to far away and not to close to each other. When you find something, leave the claim rod and go a bit in each direction from it and drop new probes, if you are lucky you will find a vein. The vein you can follow until it ends. If you assume you did find a end of the vein you only need 2-3 probes to find in which direction the vein is pointing from your first claim rod. When you have marked the vein start to extract the enmatter. Some people do think that the vein has a curve, but I am not sure of this, you have to find for your self. Some people belive that if you do not find anything after dropping 4-6 probes in a row you should change direction and try again. I'm not so sure about this, but I think there are as many theories as players. There is also amplifiers for your finder. The amplifier is attached to your finder and will help you find bigger quantities. To attach the amplifier you have to drag it on to your finder.

Other things that will help you
If you do find a lot of enmatter it could be good to have an ematter refiner, an enmatter refiner will refine your enmatter to something else and will have a lesser weight than the original stuff you got. If you find a big amount of enmatter it's not so fun to stand there extracting with your basic enmatter extractor that only pulls up 10-18 at each time. It will take you hours to get all upp. If you think you will strike big, get good tools that will make the job for you. Better tools than the ones in tt you will find in the auction or shops.

Good luck!
