Poll - Iridium Ore Quantity
Added 2020-02-18 17:37:28 +0000 UTC
I'm adding an iridium quarry to the Crimson Badlands, a new explorable area. It's protected by the most powerful monsters in the game. An expedition here is risky, but players have the opportunity to strike it rich in iridium if they're skilled in combat and armed with a tempered galaxy weapon!
How much iridium ore should players get on average per trip to this quarry? I should note that players will have to trek across the badlands to get here.

If I have to make a trek across the Badlands just to get to this quarry and it is still guarded by really powerful monsters I would want the reward to be the highest possible since anything less would not be enough of an incentive to risk even going there when I could be going down into the Skull cavern.

2020-02-19 08:02:35 +0000 UTCI've seen speedrunners get somewhere in the ballpark of 300-400 iridium, and some times higher. That assumes Desert Warp Totem, Bombs/Iridium Pickaxe and some other "clever use of game mechanics". I know that's not what the average folk will yield. Assuming you get out there early enough, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that a full day at Skull Caverns will yield the average player 50-100 ore. I've only done Crimson Badlands a few times enough to get to the 'secret chest area'...but I'm going to say that anyone worried about this being too broken won't have to worry too much. By the time you're freely exploring this area, you're going to have plenty of money and your weapons and accessories are probably about as best as they can be. Even with the tempered galaxy sword, there were times when the swarms got pretty bad. Or I guess, let me put it this way to alleviate some worries: By the time you're able to freely farm the badlands without much trouble, you're probably consistently going down AT LEAST 50-60 floors in the Skull Caverns on a daily basis.
