The only reason I got 99 mining is because of my "completion" mentality. Whenever I play a game I feel I have to achieve everything and max out every skill. (Its nuts I know, but I can't help myself, lol).

I remember I had no desire to work on mining, and thought I would never get 99. Then, they put out the Living Rock Cavern's update, and that sped things up dramatically. If it hadn't been for that update, I know mining would have been one of the last three skills to get 99 in.

That's something I've been thinking over the last few weeks - how is the exp down there mining wise?

I've been sitting on the edge of 85 for..a good 2 or 3 years. Ever since they changed the animation I've hated it. I'd appreciate an input.

As for the original post; Don't bother if it's not fun. It's not "worth" it in any sense because all you get is a cape and if you quit the capes worthless anyway. Do what you enjoy. Or take a break from mining and just do something else, keep it fresh.

Yes, If you enjoy and since your almost there. Try something new maybe mine a star or two, or mine somewhere else for a break. Best of luck

Its a bit of a afk skill now with the caverns if your a member, and the cash is good its just very strenuous due to only aobut 60- per hour depending on how much you pay attention.

yea dont go lucas on us -.-

he spent hours apon hours fishing and then after he got done he didnt know what to do anymore so quit.

doesnt seem right spend hours of your life picking away at a rock when you could be enjoying the game more. So do what you enjoy. back off of mining for a while because you'll still have that 700k + 1.1m xp left to go when you get the drive to mine again.

its just like defense for me. im 500k away from 99 and yet ive got no drive to complete it right now. ill get back to it someday though
