miner 69er question ?

[chevalierknight]

does this perk give you less resources ? i know you do more damage to a node but doesn't that mean less resources wouldnt taking motherload be better by its self i get that it means slower mining but you will get more right?

No, taking miner 69er doesn't effect the total yield of a resource. It just makes it faster and more stamina efficient. Generally, unless you're dumping every point into strength, It's more beneficial to prioritize miner 69'er over motherlode.

No, it gives you same amount but faster and with less stamina cost, Mother Lode affects the amount of ore, wood etc you get.
EDIT. Got ninja'd.

Both perks are definitely beneficial with no downsides.

I usually go with Miner-69er first because I would rather clear blocks out faster. And since it clears blocks faster, it also yields resources quicker than without the perk.

Stamina reduction is pretty important also so you don't have to stop mining and pause for stamina regeneration.

I love that this perk's name is both a dirty joke and a Scooby Doo reference in one.

Yup, you can easily compensate lack of Mother Lode just by mining a bit more, but without Miner 69er it will take ages to get anything due stamina cost.
