Not seeking skill-ups with mining trade

Post by Zorinar » Sun Feb 19, 2012 7:02 pm

I have been mining for about 3 days off and on with one character that has mine at amateur. I have not seen even one skill up and I am just wondering if the mining trade is intentionally set to be extremely difficult to level up, (And I am curious as to why that is if so) or if there is a bug in the system.

It does progress slowly, but it does progress. Diligent mining will reward the miner.

Skill increases are also affected by intelligence.

Mining can be a bit tedious. The real fun will begin when you learn to smith armor or weapons.
