I have seen that there is pretty much nothing in the east part of Haven. I have also read people's complain about mist . Why not make a Mining camp in that area so that people can mine some kind of minaral or cristal and players can sell to a mine Merchant 4 or 5 minaral\cristal for 1 or 2 mist. Also players can make stuf with the minaral\cristal & or make there weapons\armor stronger. thanks for reading ^^ and tell me what you think.

Hooray something to do for

Hooray something to do for the free players when they run out of mist! This would actually be really cool!

Also, add in monsters in the mines who drop nothing, but will impede your mining by attacking you.

I thought about this too

I thought about this too however if it's not profitable whatsoever for Three Rings I doubt they'll even consider it so I didn't even bother suggesting it. I doubt we'll ever see actual free content and by that I mean stuff you can do that's entertaining, gives you something in return for your time and cost no energy.

I agree with this.

This would be useful to Free-Players to do something when they run out of Mist Energy other than to moan & complain to others. If they could implement this, it would be a huge success. Here's my thought:

A Mist Energy Merchant named"-------" who only accepts Mist Minerals that you find in the Mist Mine. He will sell the following:
(I'm no good at balancing amounts, so it's best to just go with it for now)
10ME Refill- 20Minerals

50ME Refill-60Minerals

FullME Refill-120Minerals

Mist Crystals will look the same as the Crystals in the Mines, but with a slight difference & the amount of Minerals will vary between the sizes:

Small Crystal-2

Medium Crystal-5

Large Crystal-10

As someone mentioned above, there will be Monsters, but none of them drop any Crowns, etc. Another thing to add, would be new Mist Monsters. Monsters that will look the same as you would find in the Clockworks, only with them glowing Blue, as they've been exposed to the Mist Crystals for too long.

I wouldn't see this as a "Game-Breaker" since it will only restore your Mist Energy & not your Crystal Energy, as well as most Recipes requiring 200+Energy to Craft.

And if they have time, why not add Mist Armors? These armors will be like Vita Suits(The armors that increase health), but instead, affect your Mist Energy. Either Increasing its capacity or decreasing Energy Costs in the Clockworks, it doesn't matter to me, but I think it'll be a good thing to put in.

(Sorry if that was too long. I just thought your idea was brilliant.)
EDIT:Fixed some Spelling errors & added a few things.

I think it works if

If there is a limit you can mine, or a very slow time-frame in which you can acquire mist.
I think a way to refill ME is gamebreaking, because it breaks their profits. If it was a way to make 12 mist in a day, or 15-18 ME in a couple hour, then that would be reasonable. As this would give you the means to run 2 more floors in a day. You combine that with strategic management of you energy and what/when you run floors/tiers and it could be a good boost for beginners, while not being worthwhile for experienced players.

Basically if it gave you a small boost to acquire crowns to spend on CE that you would presumably use, etc, it could maybe not actually be harmful to their in-game vs real life economy.

But once it even vaguely resembles real player profit margins from actually running even t1 in value of crowns (aka what u buy CE with) vs time invested it would be gamebreaking.

i'm by no means hating

by no means hating on anyone's suggestions. As i'm sure i have and will make suggestions that others will find silly.

But i do have to chuckle at some of the workaround for energy idea's people suggest. I don't deny that they are creative, sometimes well thought out (sometimes not), and even plausible--such as this one. But after a certain point, i wonder why some people don't pick up an extra hour at work (if you are young find a lawn to mow, a drive way to shovel, leaves to bag, etc) and then just spend that money on 10x more CE than you could possibly gain otherwise doing nething in game.

I see that this might not be feasible for a small and select few, but for many players it wouldn't be a problem. For kids, show your parents the game, show them the spot where they can paypal, cellphone, or cc buy energy. Explain to them its fun, and how the system works, and then tell them that you'd like to do some chores/work in exchange for them to buy you some CE. I realize, some hardnose parents will say no and be done with it, but really, online purchasing is commonplace enough that if they realize you really want it, they'll do it.

(warning: they'll probably make you do twice as much housework/cleaning as its worth. ahahhahaha)
