I only have it for the pathfinder task that I hardly ever get to find an extra marble deposit. Filled in all the manuscripts, all the tomes but three, and lucky find. Probably not what you were looking for, but it is a use. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother for a 15% chance, and especially compared to 8% bigger deposits of all types.
Literally only picked up for the achievement and dropped an arctic on the iron one, marble is w/e
same here I only have one with this skill and only used once to get Marble and Iron additional deposit and then dropped a more perm mine type on.
Since then I never had to use this skill and when I first ran it yes you have to re-send and deplete mine and re-try a multiples times.
It is not a skill geo you would want to send every day to find and re-find that additional deposit.
When you have found the Iron & Marble try to keep those location with deposit so it never deplete and you kind of forget about it..never have to re-use that skill. setup 1 geo with the skill use it.. and then forget about that skill use it for other deposit that is why the other skills from the tree should mostly find efficient shaft and larger deposit dont good that Lucky Find skill on the cool geo. use it on a regular not special one.
The special one you would probably want to have the bigger depo skill...
good luck!
Thanks for replying. So you basically just filled in all the least expensive books just to get up to Lucky Find? That's the kind of perspective I'm looking for. With all the new really good geologists coming out, I've found I hardly use my tavern geos anymore. So I was thinking it might make sense to book one of the tavern guys to Lucky Find, just to have the ability to find the extra deposits whenever it might be suitable.Quote:

It seems like one of them would be perfect for a dedicated "extra-node" guy. Did you unbook yours, though, after he found the extra resource points?Quote:

I picked my conscientious because I wasn't using him anywhere else. Makes sense to have a +100% speed. For a skill I only use once every few months, any would probably do. I haven't used my taverns since probably six months into playing since jolly geologists are a lot better and pretty cheap. Now I have about twenty geologists I never use. I've been tempted to cannibalize those who have books for their books but haven't reached the need yet. Same for reapers and regular quartermasters.
I finally booked up the geo I was thinking about months ago. Decided to go with a Conscientious, figuring if there's only a 15% chance of making a lucky find, then maybe he would get more bites at the apple. I'm not sure if that's how it works or not, but since I seldom use the guy otherwise, there's nothing lost booking him this way.Quote:

I sent him out to look for marble, and he found the extra deposit on the first try. I don't know if that was just pure luck, or if the way I'd booked him actually helped out. But finding the extra iron deposit took a while longer—maybe a dozen tries over a day and a half. Then I learned from a guildmate that there's a second extra marble deposit that can be found, and again that took about a dozen tries over a couple of days.
I plopped an industrial mine down on the iron deposit and put it to sleep, and loaded up the extra marble deposits with 1,000 extra marble each, so it will probably be a while before I use this guy again. Mainly he's a back-up geologist for when I let most of my mines go down and need to find a bunch quickly.
Thank you to everyone in this thread for your input.

I've actually booked my geos pretty strongly - mainly the goldies and the iron ones, just to keep those alive. I think I have one iron with the "find extra" and one of the stone cold with a "find extra" also - usually I don't have to do anything surprising to get them to trigger for the pathfinder quests.
