Quarry is useless

[See you Space Cowboy...]

c'mon. By far the worst reward of all the Bundle rooms. You srs? For the mats you need to even unlock it, you'd have to have gone down some ways through the mines anyway, where, as it happens, you get all that stuff but in much greater abundance.

It's completely random, I know myself and some other people have had Prismatic Shard nodes spawn in there. I think the geodes that spawn have a chance to be Iridium as well.

Don't forget that 'Panning' was also a reward for completing a set of bundles, and that one had you fishing all over the place. At least the Bridge Repairs was just foragables and things you can pick up off the ground.

[See you Space Cowboy...]

Wow nice! I got my own Prismatic charm from a geode I found while fishing actually. I guess I just got unlucky with the Quarry hm.

I do agree though, for a reward you spend all year farming (sometimes quite literally) for, you'd expect something more than a place you visit maybe once a week to grab the goods from.

I just find it so uninteresting, especially since it's right near the mines, which are a better source IMO. Plus the mines you can get sweet drops from mobs on occasion.

I like the idea of it, but it is kinda uninteresting, isn't it? Maybe if the chances of something other than rocks was greater.... I did find one more useful thing about it. In the Winter, I used it daily to dig huge tracks of land and get yams, artifacts, an clay out the wazoo. Works in any season other than for the snow yams. That at least has me visit on occasion.

Panning was the worst reward. Not worth the effort and it's random anway. As for the quarry, I have had iridium ores spawn there. It's also neat to let it get full and then raid it with bombs.

I agree with ssjlink ... panning is way more useless than the quarry.
In fact I use the quarry quite often when I just want to spend a few hours get stones, together with the occasional additional nice surprise, without having to mess with monsters.
Especially since the quarry has its own station for the minecart system

[Seelen]

I got an iridium node there.

So the stones do respawn then? I literally just unlocked the quarry and I was about to be really pissed if it were a one-time mineable area.

I just got prismatic shard from the quarry yesterday... so now I cant complain about the quarry...

my only problem is that quarry should be a pit not a flat field

yeah the stones respawn but they reappear slowly. maybe check it once a season if you dont want to look everyday

but it does have alot of ground to collect winter items by plowing the ground and thats by daily things

Interestingly, enough I got a Prismatic Shard from the quarry when I unlocked it on Winter 3 | Year 1.

[mmmmarygray]

I like the quarry because it's an easy renewable source of stone for me each season without having to go down to the mines tbh. I grab everything good then bomb the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, leave it alone till next season, and do it again.

[Fire Miser]

The initial clear is fine but respawn sucks. Should have unlocked a mountain trail that leads to a always winter Highland area I feel.

Back on topic, quarry is ok, just keep clearing the stone until something valuable spawn.
