Hello there! I'm here today to challenge assumptions about what rock is most profitable to mine.
When I was a newby miner, as opposed to the relative newby miner I am today, I was told sparkly was the way to go. But sparkly is harder to find! So I set out to find if mining in groups can make other rocks pay.
Sweeping assumptions made:
-All miners have the highest mining skill and best pick
-Profit is based off selling to a special tool vendor giving 80%

The info I need to calculate the profit per 7 energy is the average # of rocks mined in one go.
For each rock type, with one person, 2 people, 3 people, etc.
I'm not too concerned with metal or dullite... they are too low to really be in the running for the most valuable rock. So please help me find these values for sparkly and beryl in particular!
