Question about following and mining

If you are following someone, and they get to a rock to mine, can you also mine the rock? 

Wondering because if you can, it would be nice to get a small group of same level miners to get together and wander about IImenskie Deeps and mine rocks together. 

The group could agree on what kinds of rocks to mine (dulite, sparkly, beryl, metal).  And if everyone was the same level we'd all complete the rock about the same time. 

A time (and duration) of the mining conga line would be set ahead of the mining.   A place would be set (if everyone could teleport to Bliss, we could meet up just outside).  Of course everyone would have to be sure to have reserves of food to be sure not to die in the time alloted.

All of this depends on the original question.  If the leader gets to a rock, is everyone on the rock too, so everyone can mine it?

  • As far as I know, following just lets you teleport and move in other streets/buildings together. It's already possible to have more than one person mine a rock at the same time so it really isn't necessary to follow a person.

  • Following only helps you reach the rock at the same time.  You each have to click on the rock to mine it.  It adds a little efficiency.

  • I was thinking it would be nice to be sure everyone in the group gets to the same rock at the same time with losing anyone in the jumps and such.  Which is my selfish reason for asking.  I'm not the best jumper.  :)

    But only if everyone is able to mine the rock without unfollowing, then following again.  That would defeat the purpose of easy travel to the same rock. 

    The leader can change up at times.  Again, for a group who decide to conga line together for mining about the Deeps. :)

    And yes, I mentioned that everyone has to mine for themselves, I was just wondering if everyone would be on the rock for it comes up in the menu.

    Just an idea.

  • You can continue to follow while mining.
