Profession Progress

by Santyn on Aug.08, 2008, under Professions

I figured I should do a quick update on how my switch to Mining / Engineering is going. To describe it in one word: SLOW.

I decided to hold off on leveling Engineering while I level Mining, instead of going back and forth between gathering and crafting. The way I figure it, once I have leveled Mining, I should be able to take my huge stockpile of materials and power level Engineering. So I left Engineering sitting at 125 and proceeded to work strictly on Mining. As of last night, I have leveled it up to 255.

One thing I realized is that leveling Skinning is way easier than leveling Mining. With Skinning, all I had to do was go somewhere with a lot of skin-able mobs and go on a killing spree. With Mining, I find myself circling zones, zig-zagging across them, looking for nodes. It is boring. And Slow.

But who cares. I knew what I was in for when I switched, so I will take it all in stride and keep grinding away. Hopefully by the time I go to bed tonight, I will be happily Mining in Outland. Wish me luck.

(P.S. If you know a great place/route to mine Thorium, let me know.)
