Where the hell's ALL THE DAMNED 'DILITHIUM'?

wdwormack214wdwormack214 Member Posts: 131 Arc User
I have at least FIVE Starfleet Captains operating (1 'Tactical' Admirals, 1'Tactical Cmndr, 1 'Science' Cmndr. 1. 'Engineer'.) I've been going through A LOT of 'PvE' missions, and for all of these missions, that I've 'completed' for the Federation, I DON'T HAVE A 'SLIVER' of 'DILITHIUM', to SHOW FOR IT.

"Gameplay 'glitches', BE DAMNED, SOME-FREAKING-BODY at 'CRYPTIC', needs to get this 'CORRECTED', "TOOT SUITE!"

    You know where in the "Inventory" window the UNREFINED dilithium is collecting???

    Note: there is a difference between "Refined" and "Unrefined" dilithium.
    Refined is spendable in game currency, unrefined is how it is collected.

    Click on "I" on the keyboard....you will get a Inventory pop up window. That shows you what you own.
    Across the top of that Inventory window there are 3 tabs... "Inventory" "R&D" "Assets"

    Click on the tab that says "Assets" These are some of the main in-game currencies. And how much you own.

    At the top is Energy Credits....abbreviated as "EC".
    Scroll down past "Reputation Marks" and past "Fleet Assets"....you will see "Dilithium"

    "Ore" lists the unrefined dilithium that you have collected so far.
    "Refined" lists the dilithium that is spendable.
    Then there is a "Refine Dilithium" button.

    To move the dilithium from the "Ore" to the "Refined" pile.....
    Click on the "Refine Dilithium" button.

    A player is limited to change 8000 Dilithium "Ore" into "Refined" in one day...on every character.
    Players can refine the "Dil" (Dilithium) as they collect it. But a player can not go over 8000 in a 24hour period.
    The clock resets at the same time every day.

    The clock resets here at 6PM ??? OR 5PM.
    I am in Arizona...so it is kinda tricky...depending on whether the rest of the country is on Daylight Savings or not.

    As players have unlocked and learn more "systems" in the game....they will be able to collect a lot of Dilithium "Ore". They can collect a lot more than that 8000 Dil a day...it will pile up in the "Ore" area.

    I believe the videos Garak posted will explain those. Hopefully, those videos are not too long.

    Good Luck.

    That's what UTC is for. No daylight saving nonsense with it. The refining reset time is always Midnight UTC. Unless you live on tribal lands in AZ, your refining time should always be 5PM, since you're in UTC-7 and don't observe daylight saving time.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    You want to pin point times for the OP...pinpoint the times.

    Yeah, what I usually go by: "after dinner"....which would make no sense whatsoever depending on where wdwormack lives. So, I picked a time which is "after dinner" for me: 5PM or 6PM. I am pretty sure he can extrapolate his time from there.

    I pinpointed the time in the best way possible without him telling us his time zone. I used the UTC time. That's literally what it's for.
