Noticed a few things about the mining/herb gathering. It appears that getting resources is sort of like attacking it without the animation. This can look a bit glitchy when a wizard, priest, or assassin uses their basic range attack (usually on the right mouse button). Poe noticed this too and may post screenies later.
I've noticed that prize bags fall from resources while mining/gathering. However, I got a metal ore bag from one of the mp plants. That doesn't make sense to me and thought it could be a bug. Pic is attached below. Btw, the bag appears to contain "chests" like those you get from Prince Peculiar. I got a grain bin with small forage
In addition, the drop down menu for the smelting process (strengthening, defensive, and accessory options) is a bit glitchy. As seen in the second pic, I selected accessory, yet the menu has it showing strengthening.
Overall, the new crafting options are fun. I do find it a little sad how easily your stamina gets used gathering resources and then processing them.
As a noob, I was not able to look into some of the other new features (Grandma friendliness quests, instances, etc.).
