Also i do agree with what you said about 2.5%... Its pretty insignificant. 2.5% of 13m xp (99) is only 325k xp. Thats only like 6-7 hours of saved time to 99. I know they are trying to keep it consistent with the lumberjack suit, but mining is waaay slower than woodcutting...

I am now laughing at the people who said this would make mining incredibly easy.

it all depends on hrly xp rates and if its afkable or not.. if the xp rates are to close to granite mining and its scrayyyy afkable then yes it will make mining to easy and wont even be worth it to do the skill anymore in old school terms.

as i do consider this or look at it and say in my head.. i do think this will be fun.. but theres a saying fun things make time go fly by fast.. If your having fun then you would dedicate yourself more to the skill meaning you'll make more progress in mining even if its 20-25k xp hr.. rather then the 35k,40k, 50k 60k granite mining hrly (depends on who you are for granite mining xp rates).

In other words if its fun like i think it is, and its not scary afkable (possible every few seconds a click is needed to mine here?) then i honestly would like it only to be 20-25k xp hrly.. because i dont think this should compete with granite mining rates if your having fun doing it and it still involves decent clicking but not massive like granite mining. I think it shouldnt compete anywhere near granites mining rates but still better then probably mining at the mining guild for coal(which the mining guild is usually for profit with little xp on the side), I think it might be around 10k-15k xp hrly on mining guild, not entirely sure. Point is i'd like it to better xp rates then the mining guild, but not anywhere near granite.. as granite makes no money and involves lots of clicks which i feel the harder you work for something the more xp reward you should deserve..

So in this case since you profit i feel the motherload shouldnt be as great in xp as granite. The motherload is more a money gain reward system with improved xp hrly rates to that of the mining guild in my opinion of course..

What an appropriate name for someone suggesting a mining update. =p

Does this mean we're pulling multiple ores out of the veins? And we're not going to be swearing and hissing at other players for coming near "our" veins?
Ya, it'd definitely be nice if it was possible for more than one person to mine a single vein at once, kinda like trees or fishing spots.

i think allowing multiple ppl to mine a single vein but however without making it completely afkable was one of the actual main purposes in the update.. but im not entirely sure on that.

Please add some other rewards for the gold nuggets too. 2.5% XP boost is so insignificant! Please poll something like a coal bag, gem bag or any mining related rewards.

coal bag and a gem bag were polled im pretty sure and failed..

as for the clothing boosts in xp.....they werent supposed to give significant big xp boosts.. i mean rly its not a big deal..

Good xp rates should only be available to the "rip your eyes out - mind blowing boredom" tasks ;)

Seriously though, I don't see how this would even come close to "good" xp... I just hope it doesn't become dead content.

yuck... just thinking about mining granite makes me want to cry...

They said in the OP that they don't want the xp rates to surpass current ones. I don't see it getting higher than 15-20k xp/hr, if even that.

honestly if this will be a fun thing to do it shouldnt really matter if its only 20k xp an hr.. Theres a phrase that says.. The more fun you have the quicker time goes by.. Taking that into fact if your having fun with this new update.. you'll dedicate yourself more to the skill. Which means you'll still progress more in mining with this new update over doing granite mining because you'll put more time into it because you enjoy this method more.. So 20k xp an hr rly wouldnt bother me if its less then the best method.
