Got out farther..... the pickable rocks that you 'should' be able to pick are bugged......

Sounds like you got the right idea, just stick with it and soon it will be more friendly to newcomers :)

i tried to run farther outside (to the area that is supposed to have the most coal). I will try it again later. Thanks for the answer.

hey,

in case u find a stones and are the good ones to be picked and nothing happen, must be in the spot where the bugs are, I meet few times such spots, u need to search around until u pass the invisible boundary such is the one North to South direction from the SE gate, there is a crazy server limit and often u can get a black screen and the west side of this limit is bugged even if u see good stones those cant be picked, u need to get on the east side of this limit.

unfortunately there are some wolfs and slugots and is not good for newcomers,

hope those info give u a hint about what's good to be avoided.

cheers

thx for your effort  :-\   i tried again but after i reached the this border and died trying to cross it (was somehow buggy i had still my interface but a black screen and couldnĀ“t do anything) I tried every stone on my way through all the enemies but got nothing again. I will give up on this game.  I wish you the best and fun playing byebye

I hope you haven't left yet! One thing you can try is to post here before you log into the game to ask for help in-game. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of people playing in your area most of the time, so if you can post 30 minutes in advance or play for at least 30 minutes and check back here from time to time, I'm sure you can get some direct help from one or more other players! Depending on when you try again I'll do my best to help you myself since I am not far from you!

sadly that has happened a lot lately.  Hopefully we are on the verge of a major turn in the game.

@OP (Kirgon "The Thunder" Evingrale);

When you walk around and see rocks make sure to not try to mine any rocks with weed/moss on them (greenish vegetation), because those are not minable.
As far as i seen there are like 3-4 types of rocks and the ones with moss on them are decoration only...

They are often in clusters of two or three, but are also sometimes alone. To make it more confusing there's also a rock that can be pick that also has some green in/on it, but the green coloring is brighter than it is on the rocks that can't be picked.
