Not so much for me. Though most everything I've ever found at home (and less often, here) has been semi-precious--sometimes the more expensive ones are further underground and a bit prohibitive. I don't really know mining techniques. At home I used my powers, and here my familiar helps me out. Still, I'm the guy who teaches gemcutting.


I think I might be in your Forging class too, but don't quote me on that one.
