Hours Taken For Mining Level 99 (Blast)

A few days ago I watched EmperorBonaparte's video on mining techniques with Blast and which is the fastest method (I recommend taking a look https://forums.manacube.com/threads/guide-blast-mining-techniques.37382/).
I thought using this information and a little bit of maths I could figure out how long it would take to reach mining level 99. Currently, only NeekoDTsu has 99 mining level and because they haven't been online for over a month I couldn't ask them how many blocks it took so I will use base the equations off of the total number of blocks they have mined (13,034,518) (You can find this by typing "/" in chat).
In Emperor's video, he mined the first 3 layers of the god mine (9408 blocks) in 2 minutes and 21 seconds (141 seconds).

To find his blocks per second:
9408/141 = 66.72

We can then find how many seconds it would take to break the same amount of blocks as NeekoDTsu:
13034518/66.72 = 195,351. 513393 seconds

I rounded this up to 195,352 (because we aren't all perfect miners not because its easier ;))
We can then convert this number to minutes (rounded up again) and then to hours:
195352/60 ~ 3256 minutes
3256/60 = 54.266.. hours

So mining level 99 will take approximately 54 hours and 16 minutes. Keep in mind this was based off of 13,034,518 blocks which may be more than it takes.

There is most likely an easier way of doing this and I am almost certain my maths is wrong somewhere but this is all my sleep-deprived brain can muster for today. I'd gladly appreciate corrections and criticism so I can make this as accurate as possible.

This.. is great. Thank you I appreciate you taking the time to do this, now I can be assured that I have no life once I hit level 99.

This is a great guide! Although there is one issue as it involves blast, although 9408 blocks get mined, blast counts 10 mana per 9 blocks, or at least this is true through what I've tested, which would make the 'counted blocks' per second rate 74.137, which reduces the total time by 5 hours and 26 minutes to reach 48 hours and 50 minutes of constant mining for mining level 99! Please test if this is true for you, it just seems to me like this is the case! But great guide nonetheless!

So what we just concluded. BLAST 2 gives 19 MANA AND 19Mining Level XP per full 18 blocks destroyed. Blast 2 destroys it in a 2x3x3 dimension size

Well, I better get back to work! 3 levels to go. Thanks for taking the time to write this guide... I knew it'd take a long time, but THAT is certainly a longgg time! Usually it takes around a day to level up mining-wise for me, but in fairness I have Blast I and get distracted occasionally. Determined to hit this goal, regardless!

Most certainly will test this as soon as i get the chance. I had a feeling something might be wrong here. Huge difference in time spent. Thankyou.

I will also make sure to test it further, but sil has also tested it and it seems like you get 10 mining xp with a full 9 blocks with blast 1 and 19 mining xp for a full 18 blocks with blast 2.

Well that is the amount of hours purely mining though, but I should reach there by the end of this week :)

Big thanks to both you and sil for the info. This thread just got a whole lot more complicated. When you mine side by side you dont always get the full 9 (or 10) blocks, but you get 6 instead. So this will probably end up a battle of mining styles.

Yes, I can send a video of how I typically mine in the Slave mine.

I didn't actually realize how long it would take to get there and you just shattered my dreams, kidding. This guide is great!
