My understanding was that the nerf was supposed to be to Rubium rocks, not the Rubium deposits, and the update was supposed to be aimed at nerfing the XP gained, not the splinters. After the update, Rubium deposits net way, way less splinters and XP than the Rubium rocks.
- Rubium deposits yield ~2200 splinters per hour and about 11k xp/hr at level 95
- Rubium rocks yield ~3800 splinters per hour and about 57k xp/hr at level 95 Rubium deposits require a significantly higher level to mine as well. I get that they’re slightly more AFK-friendly, but wasn’t the idea that you’re trading less experience in exchange for more splinters with the deposits? Very disappointed to see the changes affecting the content in this way. Rubium deposits were hardly mentioned in the blog, and these rate changes were not discussed. TL;DR Rubium deposits somehow got nerfed when the Rubium rocks got nerfed (without any mention of it in the blog post), primarily because a select few people were angry about the XP rates possible with tick-manipulating Rubium rocks (something that the Rubium deposits had nothing to do with) submitted by /u/jarromie
