Normal and Elite Mine Comparison

By now i am guessing that you are all already familiar with how mine works in version 2.5. I will help you narrow down some comparisons of both mine and which is better or if they are equally the same.

First we tackle Normal Mine:

1. Normal Mine gives you the benefit to get a resources at a random rate, even though it has a 1 hr cool down, you can still get the same resources. Luck in game is a natural course of doing refresh.
2. The resources you get is depleted for a certain period of time.
3. Gathering resources has a fixed amount of how many you can get per hour, the lesser the number the lesser you can get. 

Second is Elite Mine:

1. Elite Mine gives you the chance to choose what kind of resources you want to mine. It has a cool down of 2 hrs and 2 hrs of protection time.
2. The resources you get is very limited and it has a cool down of 6 Hours. After the protection time you are forced to leave your mine.
3. Gathering resources is doubled compare to what you get on Normal Mine. Meaning you can get more resources overtime.

Third, we won't do pros and cons but some few hints if some of you still don't know this.

1. There is a level cap for each mine and people who are in between levels can have both mines working. If you are level 125 and the first mine has a level cap of 110-125 and the second mine has a level cap of 120-150, you can actually enter both mine. It'll be the same as having a resources on Elite Mine. However i haven't verified if this does work on Elite Mine.
2. Choosing a hero has no significance in Normal Mine however on Elite Mine, it has an increment of 1 per hour meaning if you are mining 4 per hour then it will changed to 5 per hour and that will depend on the tier of your heroes.
3. If you worry about your mine being nuked by other players set an alarm with an interval of 2 hours and occasionally check in game, leave and set hero in mine. Well this is for Hardcore Players of course.
