ok now I'm stuck at mining rank 2's

Not worth the 60k imo

you can also collect 200 toys and use that mount.

And with glove enchant+LW item you can just pick up herbs while mobs are hitting you and get away.
It used to be well worth 60k with ground mounts and those expensive herbs as you farmed a lot more efficient. Now maybe not, but then again, why farm herbs even then and not buy them on AH?

Didn't know about this, thanks friend.

i have no idea how much i farmed (just worldquesting and oh theres a mine, ill mine it), and over time i got all but one rank 3 mining recipe (i am missing living leystone rank 3). normally i would get like 1.5-2 k leystone ore and about 750 to 1000 felstone per week since expansion went live (i always use what i need for blacksmithing, and send the rest to a friend for making gem chips for me).
