Easiest method to arm/ use an item in your bag is to drop it on your character. Even though the sword is on one side and you would logically put a weapon/axe in that hand, when you drop it on your character it ends up in the shield side. Why? I don?t know.
When digging for something you use the following code in the chat window:
/dig
That means if you are digging for gold:
/dig gold
If you are digging for iron
/dig iron
and so on.
You can make a shortcut by right clicking on an empty button in the short cut window that will open another panel where you can name the button (upper left hand corner) and put in the code (Below the name)
I would suggest naming each form of mining ?Mine ? (EXAMPLE: Mine Gold)
That way when you are at the mine you can move your character and click on that button, instead of entering /dig ----- over and over again.
I do not believe you spend EXP, you spend Progression points.
Check around with the NPCs. Click on them to get their little red circle spinning around their feet, then click on the short cut button ?train? That will open up your skills panel OR in the chat window it will say ?____ does not train? or words to that effect ? not all NPCs train you.
Harquist does train you mining. When you open up a training session with him you will have a few things to train. Let?s say you want to train your mining skills: You will select mining, and then click on the bag at the top of that panel.
Please note that beside each skill there is a bar made up of a few colors. The blue bar (which is the smallest) is the Progression points you have. Yellow is the amount you need to train to ?level up? that skill. Green shows how much training you have. Each time you raise your experience in that area (say in mining) you will be notified in the chat window that you have leveled up that skill. That will show in your skill panel a new field of yellow.
Each time you will have to train more, using up PP and Tria.
Mind now that training will cost tria and Progression points. Keep an eye on the chat panel when training with a NPC, the chat window will tell you when you have trained to the max or when you have no more tria or nor more Progression points to spend.
Also, if you are unable to mine that might be because you haven?t trained your mining skills.
