People should grab the biggest mineral, yes?

If you grab the biggest mineral, you get more minerals. If you have more minerals, you can craft the pet food mat. If you don't like the pet food mat, you can trade it for someone else's pet food mat. And then you can ask someone on your friendlist for the trade! Yes?

But if you grab the smaller mineral, it's not equal value.

So the mathematical equation behind it is... I don't know. I'm too lazy to make it. But trading minerals is faster than doing a whole level again for the same small mineral, isn't it?

Trading minerals would definitely be interesting. It could fill in that gap of people wanting to sell the minerals just like the old days.

However if more sprites are being implemented, I feel like this would be the best time to do this. We can already trade food, so in the we're just trading dust to each other right now.

Yeah but trading them means you need to find someone to trade, and there are exceptionally less Masker and Sera users than Drakon users.

Either way, I always go for the biggest mineral (including blue and green), but that's probably because I already know I have enough minerals to get up to 3 of each Sprite up to Level 105.

So I don't care what I pick up.

Also, people don't seem to understand that minerals are still shared (at least they were when I last checked, which was recently...), so does it really matter what they pick up as long as you yourself get the biggest one?

Really? Drakon for the win!

Really? Drakon for the win! But I figure Drakons aren't that plentiful. In fact, I know there's some cheap sera and mask pods in the ah right now.

I always go for the biggest mineral too for the same reasons, but I very much dislike the idea where there's two perfect good shiny yellow minerals and someone must pick up that small purple mineral. That's why I'm posting this thread.

Shiny is like... 4 minerals. Or six. I forget.

Whenever I find a +6 Moonstone or Valestone and a +1 Crim/DM/Lumi, I get the latter. Anyone who picks the former will be spat upon by me.

my 2 cents

With a lvl 100 sprites that can't even eat a reset star. What is the use of minerals? I just take the bigger one and if you ask I'll grab another one. I just like carrying minerals that are twice my size XD

I had 6 power star and 6 shadow star that I HAD to sell to a NPC to get rid of it since they were bound to me. Thanks to me upping my sprite too fast and got 6 daily box of food. As you can see I did not mentionned Power Star, it's because there was still a bug that he could eat anything and don't get UV. They fixed that after... and the reset star is still not fixed?

Pretty sure the reset star was fixed a long time ago.

I know this because testing multiple ultimates is regrettable.

Yes, taking the biggest mineral is the smartest course of action unless you are currently working on completing the game.

Then you should take the biggest non blue/green material, as working towards the blue/green battle sprites that could foreseeably come out to balance it all out wouldn't help you.
