Call me a slow learner, but Sunray_be's
site (specifically the magic sites spreadsheet) inspired me to become very specific. Did you know that you can find
EVERY Death gem producing site with a A2E3F1W2N3S2D4B2 pretender(not counting Holy/Unholy)? Or all the 2+ Death gem producing sites (and most of the 1s) with a A2E3W2S1D4B2? The gold sites show up for a A3F2E1W1N3B3.
It bothers me that I've created so many rainbow pretenders with a smattering of 2s and 3s without ever checking on how to optimize toward my goal. The fact that Air and Nature both have higher requirements to find gold sites than Earth and Fire shocked me. I was very suprised to find that a good Death gem searcher doesn't need
ANY Nature picks. At the price of 26 for a 2 and 50 for a 3, knowing what you need
before you buy just seems like such a good idea...
