Is it just me or has mining gone? I've searched all the rocks near the castle and it just says that same old 'This doesn't look like an area to mine'

Any answers?

There are in total 4 mines where one can find iron ore. What do you mean with "is not really good"? The rates of success have risen alot with this update, maybe your char lacks the fitting attributes and skills?

I will check this "i break all the rocks at once", it is intended that rocks break, but not after one hit. If this is the case, we have a problem.

For what it is worth i witnessed some one mine with perfect sucess shortly after the update. Rocks did break but only after being mined for some time. So it is working at least in some places.

It's true, i've a collected 50 raw gems before fully breaking a rock (Fully because they keep transforming to give diamonds, rubies ect)

I don't agree with the gold not with iron though as traveling for 5 bits then back will be quite an annoying task.
