MapleStory Chaos: Profession Recipe Guide

So is it really true that you can get all the ores/plates with Mining (yourself) and Jeweling to lvl10 with just doing everything to exhaust your fatigue 1x per day in the event period to get the Dark Angelic Ring?

Most of your previous questions, the ones that you bumped to get answered could have been answered just reading the posts in the thread; I was curious why no one else was answering them even when I saw them lurking, but they must have thought the same thing.

And to answer this question, I'll counter White's (Ninja'd edit: Old) "Yes" with a No. Stereo ran numbers that indicate ~10 days is required to get to Level 10 using both the Fatigue potions and Jewelcrafting/Blacksmithing/Transmuting? twice a day. Threepea and iAmFear I believe have confirmed those. KMS had approximately 15 days to get it done, I suspect many will have problems if they haven't already prepared, at least a little bit.

You will need to do the mining and plate making on one or two other characters, and supply plates to the jeweller character.

The hardest part is definitely the ores. You use up fatigue to mine it, might not be successful, and there's no guarantee you'll even get the ores you want from what you mine. So that's 5 fatigue per plate/gem. 388 = 1940 fatigue. 200/day means nearly 10 days JUST for ores/plates. That doesn't even require USING the ores and gems, which is what you actually need to do to get jewelcrafting up to 10 to even get the recipe.

Even with multiple Mining mules you would be cutting it close if you have no ores lying around to give you a jumpstart (pardon the pun): You need 11800 EXP just to get Mining to Level 6, the level of Gold/Topaz mining. Sure you could probably mine for it earlier, but wasting Fatigue at this point is a luxury many cannot afford (without NX).

11800 EXP means you need to create 590 plates but that's only if you had 1180 Level 1 or 2 ores laying around. If you didn't, that would be 1180 Fatigue to mine the ores, 590 Fatigue to plate the ores, ~7 more to account for mining Level 2 gems at levels 3, 4 and 5 which gives you a grand total of 1777 Fatigue. Worse case scenario (100 Fatigue only) and you've already passed 15 days at 17 days, best case scenario (230 Fatigue) getting to Level 6 Mining for mining Gold takes 8 days.

I'll go with what White says since running numbers at this point isn't really necessary. Take whatever number of days you suspect it'll take and add White's 10 days and obviously you've gone over. Even MissingLink's suggestion of splitting the 10 days among several will cut you close since all your mules need to be Level 6 to start the most arduous portion of mining Gold. I suspect that starting from scratch and with no help from FM or anywhere else you'd need at least 4 or 5 Mining mules working extremely diligently.

Of course, these calculations don't even include the time wasted on the side of the 2nd Tier Professions waiting for all the work of these mules to come to fruition.

TL;DR? If you haven't prepared in the slightest, save your NX, you'll need it. If you have prepared, consider how prepared you really are. You may need multiple, greater than 2, Mining mules.
