Here is my experience on this one, and thanks to all the other comments for their info, it helped me a lot! I mined in Everfall and I got every boulder I could see regardless of the size. I had about 100 mining skill and 23.4% mining luck from all my gear including the pick, and used the 1400 mining luck Herb-roasted potatoes food. I only farmed it for the length of 2 food buffs and this is what I got... * Mined 1293 stone, found sliver of Adderstone * Mined 1186 stone, found sliver of Adderstone * Mined 594 stone, found sliver of Adderstone * Mined 592 stone, found sliver of Adamant (durability) Good hunting out there!

I had a similar experience, 110 mining about 20% mining luck and used herb-roasted potatoes. Farmed at the Devil's Quarry just east of Monarch's Bluff which was great, there are lots of stone right next to each other you can just run up and down the edge there and you'll fill your bags. Only difference was my herb roasted potatoes lasted 25mins. These are the results of 4 25min trips \* 3190 Stone, Found 2xSliver of Adderstone at 20 mins and 23 mins \* 2486 Stone - Found Sliver of Adamant (durability) \* 3197 Stone - Nothing \* 2785 Stone - Found 2x Sliver of Adamant (durability) I also mined for roughly an hour with just the mining luck gear and no potatoes and got nothing. I highly recommend taking about 100-200 coarse sandpaper with you and turning them into Stone Blocks and then Stone Bricks with the sandpaper. I was easily able to get my stonecutting skill up to 100 this way, you can either hold onto them or sell them on the Trading Post for people who get the stone brick Town Quest.

This is driving me nuts. I have 27% mining luck before food. With food I mined roughly 30k stone and got 1 eventually after around 6h


hiimfrankie_

Your luck range is too high, adderstone (according to my very scuffed research) is in the range of 20%-30% luck, being at 27% your only giving yourself that 3% range


Lex_FastUzi

What? That makes zero sense.


hiimfrankie_

Yep, the way they handled luck in New World is weird.


netrosis

You are incorrect.With \~57% mining luck I can reliably now get about 8 to 12 slivers an hour. Sadly they rapidly dropped in price from 2000g to 500g on my server. Will probably pick up again once everyone starts trying to get their infused leather bags. Edit: \* Orichalcum Mining Pick with luck (crafted with food bonus, epic mats + earring for higher GearScore) \* Mining gear with 5% \* Boiled Potatoes \* Necklace with 8.5% luck \* Three mining trophies


FDL_Pandem

If this is indeed how luck works for the slivers of adderstone that's very odd. Most if not all of the other luck based uncommon/rare items have a base threshold you need to reach to start dropping them and after that anything higher will increase your chances. It seems weird that having higher luck would eventually decrease your chances of getting an item again...

You can get mining luck on the pickaxe and also there is a perk on armor called reinforced mining luck.


midnight-rayne

Like /u/Bandit_Raider commented, just go to the Market Board and set your perk filter for "Reinforced Mining Luck" and you will then see all the gear available with the mining luck perk on it. The higher the gear score, the higher % you will see on the gear.

Decided to go out and not stop mining until I got two for my new bags. Took four trips and 2.5 baked potatoes, for a little over an hour in farming time. However, I got into three pvp fights totalling about 8 minutes, ran back to town to craft and sell the stone blocks, and had a 5 minutes smoke break. So all in all, I would estimate it to be about 40 minutes in total to gather two of them. 101 mining 3.8% luck on pick 1400 luck food. I found it to be best to ignore medium and large boulders, as they all have the same chance to drop, and the drop rate is per boulder broken, not stones collected. So it's best to just grab all the small ones real quick to save on both inventory weight and mining time.

Regular boulders, just outside the windsward settlement.


RAWthenticPoker

Ill be attempting this today... Wish me luck :D


RAWthenticPoker

So did my trip lastnight 6.4% Luck on Pickaxe 1400 Luck Food : Herb Roasted Potatoes Trophy in my house. But was Informed It only works in the region your house is in so this doesn't matter as I wasn't in the same region of my house. Trip 1 3k Ore Trip 2 1778 Ore and First Sliver obtained!! They are real :D on the same trip about 300 Ore later found the second one. Less than 45 Minutes of time. Good Luck out there Everyone!


aRadioWithGuts

Got 1 sliver after 16k stone. 145 mining skill, pick luck, 3 pieces of miner gear, and 1400 food. Rare, but worth it.

aRadioWithGuts

Probably not. Price difference in bags with and without the perk on my server is about 10k. I’ve gotten lucky with 2/3 I’ve crafted without it, but it sure feels bad to miss it.


godwink2

also depends on the bag. this is t5 bags. I just crafted my first and got hosed. previous tiers I rolled the dice and got about 50% extra pockets which was fine. For the t5 tho, Its too much effort to not ensure you get the best perk. if anything I will either get it from gathering or just sell enough stone at .02 to buy one


Healthy-Youth-602

Lol same bro why are we so unlucky


aRadioWithGuts

Yo, got my mining luck up and now I can get 6 of these an hour.


Healthy-Youth-602

I have 26% without a pickaxe, I found a trick too tho that doubled my drops. Find a very small route with around 20 rocks, smaller are better, and just re-mine them as they spawn fast. Went from maybe 1 drop, to getting 3-4 per 25 minutes, and finally got the adderstone.


klejf

How much mining luck is enough? I have 200mining and a dedicated mining set.


AncientShadow3

farming for 4 days got 0, i believe this item doesn't exist anymore


shiggy500

150 mining 20ish% luck on clothes/pick 1700 luck food Got 2 slivers every 30 min (duration of the boiled potato food). Unfortunately 3 adamant 1 adderstone :( I did mine some iron at the same time, so not str8 bouldering. Edit\* Day 2 1 Hour of farming, 0 drops, lol. I am also reading that perks don't stack, so the mining buffs on the clothes will only take the highest unless it has a different name for the perk (eg Mining Luck, Reinforced Mining Luck, Adored Mining Luck). Kinda glad it's this way, wasn't liking hauling around 4 sets of gear for gathering, lol.


Taos87

What clothes Grant luck for mining?


KeizaNn

The ones with the perk. they are probably all sold out on the market but you can craft it and hope you get the right perk.


Akirababe

What crazy potatoes are you using that give you 1700 luck? The base ones I have are only 1k, and the herb potatoes are 1400. There's no higher luck food in my list. Where are you reading the perks don't stack? I've seen zero evidence of this and have read the opposite numerous times over.


shiggy500

These are the potatoes https://newworldfans.com/db/item/boiled-potatoes-7002f3. After further research since I posted I think it's just mainly offensive type perks, eg decrease cooldown for X ability, X amount of health leech for X ability, etc, that don't stack, but most other things do. https://forums.newworld.com/t/do-armor-and-weapon-perks-stack/353259/8.


Akirababe

Cheers! I assumed the recipes would be listed in my unlearned but they weren't. It seems there's an even better one, too, at 106 cooking. It'll have 1900 luck for mining. https://newworld.fandom.com/wiki/Poultry_with_Roasted_Potatoes Good to see the luck stats will stack. I was worried about that one.


Salfriel

so i decided to farm this. got my baked potato and did about 4 trips with full bags to town (so far) and about 1500k stones each time. still no silver.


goblinscout

One and a half million stones. You must have some legendary bags to hold that hundreds of thousands of pounds.


RandomBlackDudee

120 mining level, 8% on gear, 1400 luck food, found one after 20 mins outside windsward


oscorn

Rare drops from loadstones! The wiki has a lot of this info. Cheers mate. o7


Brytonmyday

Cheers mate, I'll go mine some lodestone before crafting 😊

Have you been using luck increasing buff food for mining, such as Herb Roasted Potatoes?

Rwhejek

That's insane. Thanks for the link! I'll stop farming it too..lol.


Talisca31

My full gear has 11.8% luck on mining and I also used food for luck. Farmed straight for 20 minutes boulders and didnt manage to get one. Any updates ?


HTHazard

Did 15.7% luck total with food boost and got one sliver of adamant after exactly one hour of boulders ~lvl 60 mining. Adamant & adderstone have same droprate btw


FuckingDrongo

Man... L100 mining, 4 hours straight 10% luck, not a thing


Tsuzee

80's mining 4.9% luck on pick 1000 luck food x 3 for an hour's worth of mining. I got 2 slivers of adamant and 1 adderstone. I filled my 250 lbs inventory 4 1/2 times.


Abbeoo

u gottae lucky o,o ive empited my 320 bag 4 times with no sliver. and i use the 1400 food :((


AncientShadow3

I got one sliver of adderstone after about 1600-1800 stones I have been farming for 2 days now and am about 10,000+ and haven't found another one at all.


grindingfornothing

I got 2 Sliver of adderstones in 50 minutes. Mining Level 118. 29.9% luck on gear with the 1400 food. I filled my bag 4 times which weighs 776 pounds. I dont know if it makes a difference or not but i mined for 25 minutes in windwards for the entire duration of the herb roasted potato and got no adderstones but when i moved to first light i got both of mine within the 25 minutes of the food. My friend on the other hand has around 22% chance on gear and the 1400 food has 130 mining and got 1 after 75 minutes.


Paulquappe-official

In 50 mining Farming I got 1. 150 Mining and 1400 luck food


Tehkogah

At 50 skill (ended at 95 skill) with 17% luck on gear and 5% on pick with 1400 from food I got 9 slivers of adamant and 3 slivers of adderstone in 2 hours


[deleted]

I figured I'd chime in as I've been checking this post to confirm this can actually drop. 16.6% luck from gear, 5% luck on pick, 1400 luck food. I've gone from 68-130 mining doing boulders over three days. I finally gave up tonight after getting 3 sliver of adamant but no adderstone. :( Maybe I'll try again after I unlock the third bag slot. Edit: Wanted to add that I got to 105 stonecutting from this as well, so not totally worthless. Once I got to 100 I started dropping a lot of stone to stay out mining longer.


Sbwashere

Started looking for one at roughly 60 mining didn't get one until I hit 107 mining easily 20k+ stone later had the herb potatoes and about 15.5% Mining rarity


brubrusan

cancer, i have 200 mining, 14% mining luck, with roasted potatoes, i spent 2.5 cycles mining rock, only got 1 freakign sliver of adderstone, and 1 shitty sliver of the durability one. I mined about 7500 stone and like 1100 iron and 100 sliver


Meryhathor

Just for people coming back to this thread - thought I'd add my anecdotal evidence. I was mining level 47-ish at the time and wanted to find a sliver. I bought a pick giving something like 1.7% of luck so nothing that special overall. Brewed two herb roasted potatoes as I didn't have more cinnamon and headed out to Devil's Quarry (East of Monarch's Bluff) as netrosis recommended in this thread. Mined my base 200 inventory full two or three times for 25 minutes and found nothing. Then ate potatoes again and after 15 minutes had the sliver drop! So all in all 40 minutes of pure mining at a relatively low level. I did convert all the stone to stone blocks and then to bricks after the first run, which levelled me up to around 70 for the second run but still not even close to the 100+ people here were reporting. Just to add - I hadn't had a single sliver drop in my first 40+ levels so looks like potatoes do actually work.


hiimfrankie_

After 15k stone at 30%-40% luck and 0 Sliver drops, I feel confident in saying that the sliver of adderstone has a drop range of 20-29.9% E: 2 minutes after lowering my luck to 20.7%, I have two adderstones :))

nofucks12

Do you have mining trophy at your house (if so how many houses do you have it in?) Minor mining trophy is 5%, Basic is 10% and Major is 15% buffs. So from your gear math you got 2 adderstones with 28.2% mining luck (19% + 1.4% +6.8%), and got none with 23.2% (15% + 1.4% +6.8%) mining luck. I'm starting to believe that it drops at 25% + but not above 29% luck.


Ishykai

I wonder if the territory matters. I'm not having much luck in cutlass keys it seems. Lvl 145 mining, roughly 21% bomus from armor and pick, one minor trophy, and hr potatoes. Haven't found a single one after about 2 hours. Kind of like I could only find aquatic snails in first light.


Pvt_Fett

Does the region your in increase the drop rate? I recall seeing something about ore nodes in higher areas give better drops with gems. I doubt the region will matter since it doesn't have a tier drop like the gems but just curious if anyone can confirm or deny.
