Ok, so I'm a bit of a selfish miner. Most of my mined goods never get sold - I feel compelled to value-add and level up a craft before things go on the market. This made me guilty of selling things like iron nuggets rather than iron ore and limonite.

Right now, I'm trying to push my goldsmith and, obviously, if I'm going to take miner to 50, it would make sense if that mining were not random and supported my crafts.

I'm having a good time polishing these higher-level gems up currently and want to collect them for making the ever-popular rings down the track. I'll be moving on to mythril smelting soon too.

So question is, to the more experienced miners out there, which grade 5 mining area would you consider best for collecting raw gems and which would be best for collecting mythril?
