Nope. I will mine for profit and if eventually I get it so be it.

actualy, you can get them while mining for profit

grade 3 gives you all those nice tier 2 gems that sell for 20k+ each
grade 4/5 will give you all the bigger items that crafters want for endgame

grade 1-2 take so little time that even though they may suck for profit, youll have them done quick

I'm sure if they increase level cap more achievement rewards will be made available. Maybe in order to get future achievements you will have to complete current achievements. Something along the lines of you must obtain the gold rod before you can obtain the platinum rod! (level 65);D

I don't think I'll be *actively* going for it. The way I saw it, it was a lifestyle choice.

I'll still need lots o' iron for armorsmithery and blacksmithery since it looks like it's in lots of recipes.
Not too interested in goldsmithing, but in my quest for mythril, the silver is going to come my way.
And cobalt to follow.

If I do see the grade 5 mining achievement for a region, I probably would consider dropping a grade in that region. But do not think I would forcefully start with lower grades just yet.

This confirmed? Don't really want to do 1000 fatigue fails and have it not count.
