Can anyone give me some insight in this challenge? I'm using:
- Ring of whispers (equipped)
- Golem outfit (equipped)
- Pickaxe of eart and song (equipped)
- dwarven ramhammer (activated on double damage in inventory)
- crystal skillchompa (inventory)
- Overload (active)
- Berserker aura (active)
- Lava titan (spawned)
And i'm mining tin as to not get any hardness penalty.
Is it just really RNG based or is it that I can't hit that much on a tin rock due to the cap being at 100%?
If you're using a pick of earth and song, you don't get a hardness penalty on any rock. Hardness penalty only applies when mining a rock which is higher level than the pickaxe you're using.
That said mining tin doesn't make you do less damage so it isn't reducing. You need to get lucky with a crit and rockertunity at the same time.
