Elementium vein power-skillup 475-525! (No ores!)

[erin02]

Hey! First time posting, so hoping to contribute with something good!

I found this bug while leveling mining 475-525 in Uldum. It's an Elementium vein that is placed just by the border between Schnottz's Landing and "regular" Uldum, on the Schnottz side. If you haven't done the quests in Schnottz (not sure exactly which ones though) the vein will disappear a second or two after you cross the border into Schnottz. If you stand just on the edge on Uldum side and go in real fast and start mingin the vein before it disappears you will get the skill, despite the vein disappearing. You will get no ores, but you can go out to Uldum and go back in and mine the vein directly again, since it will reappear once you get out.

Note that the vein might not be there at all times, since someone who isn't phased could've mined it.


You see the vein when in Uldum.

Mining the vein while it's disappearing.


Hope it works on most servers! Remember, it won't work if you have done the quests in Schnottz

Might want to blank out your name/realm and what not. lol.

[asaphelps]

Do you have any proof that it'll grant skillups past the first mining?

[Classified]

Dude, just try it out.

[erin02]

Well...I don't know what kind of proof you would like? Me dropping mining, re-leveling it and filming me exploit this? Or you could take my word.

If that's not enough for you, I think it would be easier if you tried it yourself

[m60gunner]

lol you deleted the pic that showed your ore spots - i found after jumping to a new server that ore spawn points are the same spot every server not random so I logged in game to overlay your pic to my gatherer map and you deleted it already



ill post my uldum map if you post yours

[erin02]

Haha yeah sorry bout that, was editing out my name and stuff and accidentaly posted first pic twice, fixed now

[CheeseProphet]

I've done this it doesnt give you a skill-up the second time.......

[erin02]

Might be server dependant then. Have always worked for me.

[rimalah2]

this is good for the people who haven't dinged 85 yet, since every time you abuse the vein, you earn exp..

[asaphelps]

When I tried this I only got the exp and skillup the first gather.

[erin02]

That's odd...it worked prefectly when I leveled mining...

They must have hotfixed it then
