Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) in WO we were used to rule 1.01 - 39.99, I expect in WU it works on the same or similar rules and what that means?- if you fail badly and result is in ql 1.00 ... none skill gain- if you did it too well and result ql is above 39.99 ... none skill gain- you want result shards in ql range from 1.01 to 39.99 ... you have skill tick so, if you have too much shards ql 1.00 - use better ql pickaxe or mine tile with more easy metal vein or stoneif you have too much shards above ql 39.99, use lower ql pickaxe or switch to harder metal vein tiles with ql limit below 39.99 (poor and acceptable) you can't distinguish if you are producing shards below or above 39, so you should watch closer frequency of your skill ticks ...^^ the same apply, if your mining is below 39.99 ^ for checking limit of tile read here: http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Prospecting result is: mining for top quality shards or mining for skill you need quite different pickaxes (or even switch for different vein) Edited November 5, 2015 by Zakerak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) in wu you get skill gain even if you mine a 1 ql shard and not just that, it does not matter if your action timer is 1s or 30s you always gain the same amount if skill Edited November 5, 2015 by hoof2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 5, 2015 in WU, CoC and WoA + high QL tools are all very desirable (something I wish were true for WO) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2015 Skillgains still ridiculously slow even with a 99ql fantastic pick with 104woa and coc at 23 skill and 3.5x skill 2.5x action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2015 Mining is already twice as slow as (most, weapon smithing is 5x slower) other skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
