After I've maxed out mine and herb garden on my first 100 char and I have 3 more chars running towards 100 I feel that mining and herbalism are obselete. I mean... My main (alchy/enchanter) has mined +1000 blackrock ore and +800 true iron ore from his mine since the release of WoD. My gatherer druid is bored. And my 92 scriber learned the last glyphs this morning. Also. I offered all my ore to a friend in another guild. He has BS and engineering on his main. He simply denied as his ore takes 20-25% of the space in his reagent bank and his stacks of ore keeps growing at lightspeed (same for me). Well. I have a feeling that there will be a material nerf very soon. I dont know how Blizzard will do it. But some of the fun parts of the gathering/crafting circus is gone. So now I consider skipping herbing and mining and picking leatherworking and either inscription or tailoring on my druid... -- Peter T. <https://www.elitedangerous.com/>

I'd say herbalism isn't obsolete yet, all the crafter alts will find it a lot faster to get to 92 than to 96, plus herbs seem to be used way more - as a jewelcrafter I keep needing them, and even when I'm cooking, I need them, plus my tailor needs them every day, really quite annoying, as my herb garden does not supply enough for my own use, I have to keep buying them :-( And this is before I level my scribe or alchemist, I didn't think it even worth bothering yet since until I can get them herbs, I can't do anything with them, and 96 is a bit of a grind. Mining on the other hand... well I do use all my Blackrock ore (got about 60 in the bank, but it goes quite fast) but True Iron is worthless to me really, only need a very small amount, got 250+ in the bank and I sold 500+ on the AH in the first days before prices dropped so low that it was pointless. If I could prospect it for Taladite shards or something (get 10 to turn into the actual gems, maybe) that'd help!

Stick with herbing and mining until your Garrison is done, combine it with a trading post. You'll be thankful that the thousands of garrison resources you'll need will come so much easier with all the work orders pumping them out. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
