Virtual Quarries

Virtual Quarries (VQs) are the heart of most PvE servers, allowing you to farm resources passively while offline or AFK. This automated resource generation system is essential for efficient progression on BritsPVE.

Overview​

⛏️ About Virtual Quarries

Virtual Quarries allow you to generate resources continuously, even when you're not actively playing. This passive resource generation makes them one of the most valuable systems on the server for efficient progression.

Three Types Available: Mining Quarries for ores, Pump Jacks for crude oil, and Wood Generators for wood. Each can be upgraded to Level 6 for maximum efficiency.

🚀 Getting Started

Open your chat and type /qr to access the Virtual Quarry interface. You'll need survey charges and quarries from the shop (/s) to get started.

Setup Guide​

📋 How to Set Up Your First Quarry

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

1️⃣Type /s to open the shop menu
2️⃣Purchase Survey Charges from the shop
3️⃣Purchase the quarry type you want (Mining Quarry, Pump Jack, or Wood Generator)
4️⃣Type /qr in chat to open the Virtual Quarry interface
5️⃣Use survey charges to find the best resource nodes
6️⃣Place your quarry on a high-yield node
7️⃣Fuel it with oil barrels and start generating resources!

Fuel Requirement: All quarries consume oil barrels as fuel. Make sure to keep your quarries fueled for continuous resource generation.

Upgrade Strategy​

💡 Progression Tips

Early Game: Start with a Pump Jack to generate oil for fueling other quarries. This creates a self-sustaining resource loop.

Mid Game: Add Mining Quarries for ores and upgrade them to Level 3-4 for solid passive income. This provides the materials needed for raids and base defense.

Late Game: Max out all quarry types to Level 6 for maximum efficiency. Focus on collecting Batteries from Elite bosses to afford the final upgrades.

🔄 Resource Path vs RP Path

Each quarry upgrade offers two payment options: resources or RP. Choose based on your current situation:

WHEN TO USE RESOURCES

✅You have excess materials from farming
✅You want to save RP for other purchases
✅Early/mid game when RP is scarce

WHEN TO USE RP

✅You have abundant RP from boss farming
✅You need to save materials for crafting
✅Late game when RP farming is efficient
