NFT VS TLM Mining

I feel as though there are a lot of newer miners to AW's thinking they will find an amazing NFT daily but sadly that is rarely the case with the recent NERFs to abundant tools it is more efficient to farm TLM and buy tools then to hope and pray for an NFT. With all my mining since the NERFs I have found 1 NFT in the past week which was a human male. The nerfs to NTF drop rates was necessary for the game to have a longer self life with the player base exploding the NFTs were being mined out fast. 

I had been using NFT Mining (3 Drills on a Mushroom forest land) over the course of a week mining for 8 hours a day which yielded no NFTs. I know there will be a lot of people just thinking I'm cursed with bad luck but I doubt a lot of us won the lotto. So we should stick to the numbers, over a day of mining at Mushroom forest on Neri with a 0% tax I was able to earn on average was 3.507 TLM over a 8 hour period or 64 mines while on a Geothermal springs on Neri with a 2.5% tax rate I was able to earn roughly 6.377 TLM over a 8 hour period or 87 mines. Which means I would of earnt 2.87 TLM more if I just stayed on the geothermal which might not seem like much but when you convert that to dollars TLM it starts to add up at the time of writing this it would be $1.46 USD or 5.76 WAX using Alcor Exchange which over 11 days is roughly a Standard Drill, that is only using the TLM from the difference. 

In conclusion it comes down to the type of player you are if you believe that lady luck is on your side I would keep mining for NFTs but this is just to show you the amount of potential profit you could be missing out. A full drill every 11 days of playing seems like a bit to give up at a chance of getting an NFT.
