I have started a new undead warlock and have picked up skinning and mining. Skinning is ripping along at one skill lvl per beasty I skin (as you would expect). Mining, however is being a sod and I can sometimes grab four or five pieces of ore before my skill lvl will go up one.
I am sitting at about 14/75, though I have picked up more than 30 pieces of ore. Copper is still orange to me and in my past experiences that has given me 1 skill lvl for each piece of ore I mined.
Any thoughts on wtf is going on or any ideas on what to do to fix it? I am at the point of dropping it and starting up with herbalism.
