[Madison Croft]

I got now 1050 Hours behind me, i dug in this Time a Network of Corridors Underground to all Traders, but, i didn´t found until now Go9ld, Silver or even a Diamond, so in which Soil Material they r included?
Near Coal, Iron or what?
Thx

You have to find a magazine which enables you to find diamonds (and I think gold and silver) when mining. It's a magazine in the "The Art of Mining" series. If you don't have it, that would explain why you haven't found anything.

You can also find diamonds silver and gold in loot without the magazine buff, btw.

Gems have a small % chance to drop out of any ore vein you mine.

As above, they no longer have their own ore veins and are instead found by simply mining normally (the wiki is still out of date on this subject).
Also as above, you can only find them this way once you have found the right perk book (Vol. 1, The Art of Mining: Lucky Strike).

Why are you opening multiple topics on the same question?
They already gave you the answer in the other topic, wasn't that good enough?

Iron ore, lead ore, coal ore, potassium ore, oil shale ore, and coffins all drop diamonds rarely.

The books:
artOfMining: LuckyStrikeHarvest
WasteTreasures: CoffinHarvest

Are useful for increasing the chances of finding diamonds.

Edit: I believe you need the books first to be able to harvest them at all.

There is a .005 chance of them dropping with the book bonuses. IE: about 1 in 200 blocks.

Which is funny as I find them dropping so much I made a library to store the extras I have already read (and don't already have a copy of).

Best bet is to keep an eye out for bookshelves which will almost always have a book/recipe/schematic in them. At least when they aren't just full of paper.
Post boxes can sometimes be lucky, but rarely.
I seem to find a fair amount in the garbage bags that litter every part of the map.

Though, as ever, the gold mine of them are the book stores. Double bonus if you can get a trader quest at one.

I'll bet the mining perks increase the chances of them dropping as well.

i think diamonds and gold and silver are a random thing. you cant specifically go after them, don't know for certain tho, have not explored the entirety of navegazone, or whatever the name is.

I wouldn't take that bet, description wise they mostly only help when hitting rocks and the things found within said rock. Also when the rocks try to hit you back.
The Lucky Looter perk books, namely Vol. 5, however should be able to help as from what I can tell books are counted as 'junk'.

Tysm for the Hints :)
