Thanks for the manuals!
By the way, i found a way to stress-free HQ mining.
First thing i had to realise: i have nothing to lose:
1. I don't need to heal myself, except i want XP for healing.
2. I don't need to stuff my inventory with HQ mats, because i can lose them all and have to wait, what is frustrating.
I take only a single chunk of ore and the cooldown ticks away, while i transport it to my tent.
3. I don't need a sledgehammer. A primitive tool suffices - it's not a worth losing, also, when you repair it, you get XP.
4. As long as i have nothing, i'm invincible to PKs, because they want to humiliate me by robbing my stuff.
5. I control them, when i don't mine. They will get nothing, just kill me and walk away frustrated, because their plan to convince me, that they "defend" me, will fail. In the meantime, i can either conversate or taunt them.
6. When i die, i can heal myself with a weak powder or i can use my doc to get XP.
7. There's always time to talk to the local gang, because you have nothing to lose. Maybe they turn out to be nice people.
