Ghrae Report post Posted November 26, 2010 I can't comment if Iron ore counts or not... but are you wearing a harvest cloak? It' s not a matter of how many you harvest... but how many times you harvested. If you're wearing a cloak... you'll have to double the numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DibClark Report post Posted November 27, 2010 it could be a bug or misdetermined as a "mineral". let's hope the proper authorities take note of this. coding is not as simple as most people think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revi Report post Posted November 27, 2010 Well, ores are normally considered minerals, just with the particularity that you can extract metals from them. (the inverse is not true, not all minerals are ores :^) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dipi Report post Posted November 30, 2010 Since the name of the Achievement is "Miner" i see reasonable that counts ores and minerals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 2, 2010 From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral Oxide class Oxide minerals are extremely important in mining as they form many of the ores from which valuable metals can be extracted. They also carry the best record of changes in the Earth's magnetic field. They commonly occur as precipitates close to the Earth's surface, oxidation products of other minerals in the near surface weathering zone, and as accessory minerals in igneous rocks of the crust and mantle. Common oxides include hematite (iron oxide), magnetite (iron oxide), chromite (iron chromium oxide), spinel (magnesium aluminium oxide – a common component of the mantle), ilmenite (iron titanium oxide), rutile (titanium dioxide), and ice (hydrogen oxide). The oxide class includes the oxide and the hydroxide minerals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
