    If you are persistent as a Miner you can easily accumulate Mythril if you focus on the favored spot. I"ve gathered 4 stacks that I"m holding to use til I need it on smith or armorer but odds are I"ll be able to accumulate more if need be with ease. While sure it does suck that you can only get 1 at a time, there is a point as a miner when obtaining them isn't as hard as you would think.

    As for bomb ash as long as you find a group of mobs that drop them it's pretty easy to obtain but of course it is harder if you don't havea melee class to fight with. Even if you don't you can always consider the MW cost of bomb ash and see if they are worthwhile to get. Just because you can gather a materials doesn't mean you have to gather everything, you have to balance it out based on the time to obtain the loot and if the price being asked is worth it. At times you can also see how much will cut into the profit if you were to buy it from the MW but overall if you are just aiming for skillup then perhaps you are just better off buying bomb ash from the market ward.

    If you need bomb ash, theres a ton of Drifting Duds NW from Camp Horizon, I want to say they're in the (8,24) and (9,24) area.
    Hmm, only see a few dodos there.

    Add: I found them at (8,21), (9,21). And wow@the drop rate. Prior to 1.19, I get 1 ash every 3-4 mobs...

    Thank you, I have the general idea of where they were but I haven't had time to get the exact location. I will edit my post in case anyone else follows that advice. Glad the spot was fruitful =)

    allot of people are missing the point steel should be easier to make/acquire then mythril, and mythril should be easier to make/acquire then cobalt. When the system is backward the way it is it creates an upside down economy were steel and mythril gear cost to much to make to bother selling it. I could mine mythril all day long if i want. The fact is ill mine 3 times as much cobalt and make higher lvl gear and sell it for more. Its simple economics.

    I never got a problem getting mythril. The only issue mythril might have is the area...going all the way to coerthas is so boring!

    I would love brimstone replaced with bomb ash though...seems like they will remove darksilver anyway.

    You can get mythril at Treespeak and Humblehearth too. Doesn't seem too rare at Humblehearth but my friend says Treespeak drops it fairly often. I'm only L30 Miner so I haven't gone up to Treespeak yet.

    take me less 1hour to get 2+stacks on my conj 50 AOE everything. I don't see a issue i found other ways to skip both cobalt and mythril and right now i'm 2level from 50 ARM.

    Btw i skip it and all i used was iron ore the only issue i find is the amount of Shards you use up level up but seeing how i don't use my money for anything else it was not that hard on my money.

    So at the end there no point in this it's pretty easy to find other way to skip both mythril and cobalt and still level up quick if you don't believe me look at my history. So what i'm trying to say is there no need to make it more easy for RMT and people level up when it easy right now.
