I don\'t know about this.
I have the training, and the pick and I even was given a pin-point location by another player who was mining for gold and still all I got was \"you don\'t see a good place to dig.\"
I spent 30 minutes moving one step at a time up and down the length of the wall that other players were mining gold at - each time getting \"you don\'t see a good place to mine.\"
However when I was trying to train the last time with Harquist the system kept telling me that I do not have enough progression points - though up to that point I was paying in trias.
Since starting the game I have gotten 0 progression points and 0 exp (according to my information panel) though I have killed enough rats to get a sword, a pick axe and train sword and mining. I still have tria left over.
Could this lack of PP be my problem?
EDIT - Now I have full PP on mining - infact I can not train it any further. Still no luck mining.
