So....I was moving all of my soulstones and soulstone frags (11 full, 28 frags) to the open roof of one of my other houses and locked them down, checked to be sure they were locked down and checked a third time. Today, while trying to smelt some ore, I realized I had Mining stoned. I went to get it and, yuppers, it was the only frag (thank goodness it was a frag and not a full) that I didn't get locked down. I can't believe I didn't see it wasn't locked down when checking 3.....count them....THREE times!
I am REALLY dreading having to GM Mining all over again. Duh!

Oh yuk, Sorry to hear that

Hehe...thanks. I'm sitting here trying to think of something I can throw at my wall and not be upset later that I smashed it. lol (The dog hid when I discovered it.)

lol pillow from a ship wreck

LOL.....good idea!

GhostGirl: THANK YOU SO MUCH! Those Alacrity Scrolls will help a LOT!

Wow. Mining was like the second thing i ever GM'd back in the late 90s. I dont think i would have the patience to do it again!

Sorry to hear it and GL Maldar... on the bright side, think of all the ingots you'll have!

Here's what you do: get a golem and a gargoyle's pickaxe and take them to the twisted weald. Use the gargoyle's pickaxe to bring up a shadow iron elemental and set your golem to attack it. (I recommend having tinkering skill to keep the golem healed.) Then get yourself discorded by a satyr and start attacking the golem with a 100% poison damage pickaxe. Your mining will shoot up and you can be GM in about 2.5 hours.

Ok, so I made all that up, but it's not really any more ridiculous than some of the tricks that do work.

OMG that was awesome. I was totally planning to do that on my second account ... =P

So Sorry to hear that news Maldar... I had that happen to me. at least mine was a skill I wasn't using that much.
if I find any mining pinkie I will let you know.
gives you something to do.
ps we miss not having you in the events and at the rolls.. come back and join us. hugs

I have a .3 pinkie you can have maldar. it isn't much but it will help

Thank you, everyone!

Avorion, I died 27 times trying that trick (j/k). You DID have me going for a minute, though. LOL

GhostGirl set me up with 5 Mining Alacrity Scrolls. I have used 3 so far (before I got bored half to tears) and I am up in the 80s somewhere after only an hour. Those are a huge help! Thank you! I think I will try a 4th one and see how that goes. If the gains are too far apart I will not use the 5th one and I will get it back to you so that someone can use it at lower skills. Naturally, I gave the ones I had away late last year. It figures the one frag I missed locking down was a useful skill and not something lame (yeah, I have some lame ones stoned) like Item ID.

Useful and tedious to raise. Sucky combination of a skill to lose. I feel for ya...I hate raising mining so much that I am still stoning it back and forth between my smith and t-hunter as needed, hehe.

I can relate - sadly. I understand the horrible feeling of losing skills while thinking you have locked down soulstone frags.

I lost GM fishing and almost 90 Cook. Just typing that just now caused me to close my eyes and almost weep.

I thought i had locked the frags down. It was late and I was tired. No excuses but there it is. Next day when I logged in - they weren't there. At the time I did weep. I still haven't worked cooking again. Been working fishing but not GM yet.

So sorry that happened to you. *tear runs down cheek*

I bet I have another 5-6 alacrities for ya. Home late and headed to bed, but Ill sort through mine first thing after work tomorrow. We will get ya to gm faster than u can blink

Thanks for the help and words of encouragement, everyone. I, too, GM'ed Mining (the first time.....grrr) in the late 90's. I had forgotten what a pain it was.

Cherry, thanks for the pinky. I'll save that for the very last.

83.7 and counting....
