A few suggestions for Prospecting.

[Gavin 971]

I currently think the prospecting skill isn't worth grinding over 60, The ability to tell the life in veins at 60 i think is fun, But the skill does not even give pickaxe skill let alone body stats, As a mastermine i thought i myaswell train it as what good is a miner without prospecting, However realized there is no real reason to go above 60,01

Anyway i have some suggestions to add additional incentive to grind it, I'm sure just about anyone with prospecting skill would agree with these (yo kabill  :-*). And maybe even some without.

---

60 skill - Ability to tell the exact QL of the vein (And cave walls?), Anyone who has 65 prospecting likely has high enough mining to check with a few actions anyway but if you grind for a while lowering it down to a single click would be handy

You would mine iron ore here

The vein is of Utmost quality (QL96.00)

Mabye for looking for veins, not being able to tell the ql of the vein, but just that it's there.

+1, especially for the raising floor thing.

What about same thing, but for lowering cieling?

honestly nothing passed 20 is even worthwhile

WHOOO I CAN SEE THAT I MIGHT GET SALT HERE AWESOME!!!!!

But I agree there needs to be more abilities gained passed 60.

i always thought you got pickaxe skill when prospecting.

[Gavin 971]

Wwiiol: didnt even remember that topic, Another cant hurt anyway

And doc: It might be because my pickaxe skill is like 97 or something, But i didn't get a inch of pickaxe skill going from 32 to 60 prospecting.

Currently, prospecting is only worth getting up to 20. Once you get there, its pretty much pointless to go any further. If this idea were added I would definately get my prospecting up. I think that its the only skill that is pretty much worthless past 20.

Well thought out and interesting ideas

[Guest Basic]

Sounds sweet 

I currently grinded to 20, and then I couldn't be bothered to use anymore time on it, since it would be worthless. But if this got in game, I would definitely grind it like mad
