It has come to me an my LS's attention that you CANNOT trade a Marble Nugget to obtain the key item Demolition in the new SoA expansion unless YOU YOURSELF mine or obtain the nugget! This has happened to multiple people in our LS from mining the marble and trading it to someone else! Do not buy these!

Thank you^_^

Mining points instantly repop upon being cleaned out.

There are more potential mining point spawns behind the demolition walls than there are total live mining points.

At server launch, most(all?) servers had some available points. As time passed, they were found.. whenever one appeared behind the demolition walls it remained untouched and lowered the available points by 1. I would say that unless people are clippering, they're currently nonexistant on most/all servers.

I could be entirely wrong, just my observations/theories.. I've had 7 characters spread out among possible points and running around on the 8th. I've seen 0 points in 3 hours covering all accessible parts of the zone. There are a couple people on server with demolition, but they're all incredibly gimp and uncooperative.

Hopefully this wasn't by design(if they knew they'd all end up back there and were expecting us to get the few people who got OG points to break down the wall for us.. I don't even know).

Matsui: Hey Tanaka, how would you design an expansion?
Tanaka: Well, I'd make them need an item to break the barriers needed progress through half of the zones.
Matsui: How do they get that item?
Tanaka: They have to mine it at a <5% rate.
Matsui: That sounds great!
Tanaka: Also, most of the mining points will spawn behind the barriers.
Matsui: That sounds too easy.
Tanaka: Add a fatigue system, so they can only mine 15 times per zone-in, and once per 2 minutes thereafter.
Matsui: Perfect!

Tanaka: Oh! Make it obtainable before you get the quest, but not count unless you get it while you have it.

One of my friends experiences with getting the Marble Nugget says otherwise to the above statement, thankfully.

It didn't work for us.

If you mine it yourself, it will work. If you obtain it from killing a barrier and completing the rieve, it will not work. If you trade the marble from mining it to another person, it will not work. If you trade the marble from completing the rieve, it will not work. At least this is what we found by exploring the zone for 4-5 hours.

Jinjo mined the marble and had forgotten to get the quest on his main and the NPC did not accept it.
