Well I \'ve been cruising throughout the entire dungeons .. if the new mining locations are working they are almost impossible to find.

Edit to add: The gold mining places do work.

Yes, we know you cannot get back from that place. Also low-HP characters can\'t get their either because they will die from the slide.

Please stop mining everywhere, you are killing the nice and good looking landscape.
More than that, it is useless. Isn\'t it?

Oh bother! Sheesh! @#$! ;)

Look around? OK, but it gets rather boring rather fast, don\'t cha know.

Mines should look like mines - if its not mining then its prospecting - a difference ;)

At the mining place it gets a bit difficult to enter the Dig command over and over again, switching from communication to the game to move - sheesh!

That\'s why I made a shortcut for gold and iron.

This is unbearable. I spent several real time hours trying to mine gold - each step I entered /dig at each point I was told \"you don\'t see a good place to dig\"

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

You call that fun? It is exasperating to the extreme.

And Yes, I trained mining until I can\'t train it no more, and yes I bought the best (might as well be gold plated for the price) sharpened pick ax. And even was pinpointed exactly where to \"mine\". Still nothing.

Not even got the bloody ax dirty since obviously there is no place I can see to dig.

Well now that its next to impossible to find a spot to mine then the resources should be worth ALOT more than they were.

I just tryed, and was able to find Coal, Iron, Gold and Platinum.
Coal = 1 tria \"command  =  /dig gold\"
Iron = 4 tria\'s \"command = /dig iron\"
Gold = 6 tria\'s \"command = /dig gold\"
Platinum = 12 tria\'s \"command = /dig platinum\"

And becaurse gold is easy to find and to travel to, that\'s the only thing worth digging.
The Platinum is worth more, but MUCH harder to find, so i go for gold.

And it won\'t even out with higher lvl.
I have mine-skill lvl10 and that\'s max.

If you still wanna dig anything other than gold, there is a way to come down to the dung without getting hurt.
But it\'s a bit tricky.  :P

Good luck.

Platinum is easy to get when you know where to look.

Another thing to consider is weight.  All ores weigh 6lbs with the exception of Coal which is 3 lbs.  So, you will find that although mining is an alternative to hunting for exp and money it is a low yield alternative.  Hopefully that will change when we can get the books we need to learn metallurgy skills and start crafting things.
