I go to a place with silver and begin mining and whistling while I work. Along comes a stone golem, which has incredible reach and damage...at least this one mostly side-swipes so I can block it. So I craft an iron mace, kill him, and go back to mining. 3 minutes later another one spawns in the area. Kill him. 3 minutes later another one spawns. Kill him. Time for bed with little silver mined. It's morning and time to repeat my new routine.

Whining done for now...thanks for listening.
