i just want to know if there is any where i can mine high quality ores and stuff safely or where there is a smaller chance to get killed as soon as i enter the mine any help is grateful :)
-
well, try to go to Broken Hills just after TTTLA took it over... mostly it is quite safe to mine there if you behave...
-
Try Gecko Mine, east of Gecko. It is far less crowded by my experiences. Broken Hills seems to always have a sneaker grenadier or two, and even if an "anti-pk" faction owns it for a day, the militia is on the entrance side anyway, so yeah.
Also, Redding and Gecko both have two entrances/exits, while Broken Hills just has one, so BH is riskier.
But, no, there is no place you can 100% safely mine HQ stuff.

thanks for the info guys i will try gecko later :D

I'm waiting on the gecko mine I have bullets.

well then thats nice your giving me bulets ;D........ in my head :'(

Safe place to mine HQ items? Why, any mine where you Defend yourself. Effects vary, but the victory is sweet. Maybe staying together with other miners. All armed, perhaps meekly, but still.
-The pks... how much do you see them risk in the mines? Not exceedingly much, in general. Unless they happen to have the town and are camping the hell out of it [Looking at you, Broken Hills]. In which case, you shouldn't be at the town in the first place, and Gecko is a fairly good place second after that.
Key notes: Make friends. You aren't the only one to use the mine. There is safety in numbers, even more if armed.
Don't stick around: Always be moving, and try not to burn all your APs up on mining(meaning, let the APs regen after each swing); this tip matters most to the fighters who defend their right to mine.
Bring Boomsticks: If you're a pure crafter, hopefully there was a way to work crits into your build or some other method of combat (including pure evasion with hyped Sneak skill), otherwise you're just a defenseless wuss. If so, your pk problems require outside intervention of some sort, as you cannot be yourself a deterrent. You WILL be trampled at others leisure.
Lookout: You're only miners per se, but with simple lookouts (trying to have people near the spawns, or at corners), one may be able to save the majority, who can escape. Sometimes a sacrifice is worth it. You can always make more things, and respawn.
Defend yourself: Death will happen to the char. Try to make the pk share in it, however. Practice and some skill will enable this, even down to his bluesuit and a simple SMG, a char can be dangerous.

thanks for the tips gatling and trust me am trying to make friends its hard in the wasteland but when i get some friends am sure it will be a little easier

I dont get one thing.
I accept that you need HQ resources to craft better stuff. But in my point of view, better stuff is something you need to PvP. There are many others weapons, that need HQ resources, but they are totaly useless in the PvP. So this have to be balenced.
