Seems that the top paragraph contains the wrong links. Mentions herb/alch but the post is about mining/blacksmithing.
I wish when Achievements had come into the game that Bliz would have given characters who did all the Order of Mithril quests a title or an achievement... because you had to dump SOO MUCH ORE into finishing those questlines.
make friends with a priest so they can MC enemy to teach miners to smelt some ore ^_~
