Posted November 4, 2015 Is anyone else having issues with gaining mining skill extremely slow? Server settings are 3.5x skillgain and 2.5x timers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 I had the exact same feeling.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 Skills seem to be done by actions rather than timers from what i've seen thus far. Plus mining seems to be the hardest skill to gain, being the exact opposite from woodcutting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 I've tried higher ql pickaxes right up to 90ql, I gained the same amount with each pickaxe I tried and gained.13 per 5 mines at 13 right up to 17 mining skill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 Mine ceilings. If you can, cast WoA and CoC. Don't use low ql pickaxes, it doesn't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) QL doesn't matter, I'm gaining the same skill with a 1ql and a 99ql, albeit a bit faster. Edited November 4, 2015 by Rudie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 QL doesn't matter, I'm gaining the same skill with a 1ql and a 99ql, albeit a bit faster. As i said it's based on the number of actions in Wu the more actions you do the more skill you get. Botd would be best and higher ql. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 18, 2018 How about leveling/flattening ceiling with 8+ min timers, if I have a 99 ql pickaxe I will reduce the timer for leveling the ceiling but will i get the ticks faster too then? I dunno how these leveling timers work and what formula they have for skill ticks? (late response hope someone notices) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(late response hope someone notices) It's usually much faster to just stand under a ceiling and mine each corner individually, than to choose level. Leveling can be very slow.

Posted October 24, 2018 Mining is hard-coded to be harder to raise than other skills. The typical skill with no dependencies (for instance, paving or butchering) has a difficulty of 4000. The easiest skills without dependency are about 2000. Mining is the hardest of all skills without dependencies, at 8000. While this difficulty comparison doesn't really work for skills where they govern loads of different actions (e.g carpentry vs blacksmithing), it does work for skills where there's only one kind of action. Of all the skills without any dependencies, mining can be expected to have the slowest skillgain. See this post: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
