I realize that a good amount of people are also trying to gather Mining nodes, but I don't think its reasonable to collect a single stack after two hours of running around multiple zones. Is this something I'm simply going to have to deal with?
I'd be interested in purchasing Mithril from the Auction House, but there are usually only 10 stacks total available and each are going for 35 gold a piece. It is difficult to get past the 225 Blacksmithing hump that requires a good amount of solid stone and Mithril ore with the limited supply of Mithril available in zones.
In these zones, I'm also noticing a large amount of Gold and Truesilver veins. I guess I would expect to see a large amount of Mithril veins instead of the Gold/Truesilver whereas I was under the impression that those are supposed to be rare type veins.
I noticed that Herbalism is rather easy to level whereas a large amount of herbs are available throughout the zones. Is it that a large amount of the population has Mining professions in comparison, or are the nodes set to be renewed more frequently for Herbalism?
Any thoughts? Is anyone else having similar issues?
