Paying Attention to Environment

Paying attention to environment and your surroudnings is crucial and key to your success as a miner. For one thing, different land areas and environments contain different resources, which means different markups and different prices. In addition, looking at your landscape usually tells you where there isn't a claim.

A steep mountain where you probably can't even get the claim isn't the smartest place to place a bomb/probe. Nor is a town or a field filled with mobs that you cannot kill.

Sometimes, following your intuition on where the claims are can be your ticket to success.
