Harvesting, some random curiosities

The above was just an idle cusiosity that came to me during the never ending harvesting of spell rares for all my alts.

I could have got mining to 623 using Pick of the Duke as Brell is my god, but didn't have the blessing with me and I couldn't be bothered heading into my home and back to my harvest spot, and I figured another 25 points wouldn't make a huge difference SMILEY

Does anybody have a good use for ethereal material... I have tons of the stuff.

And finally, one of these days I might actually get round to looking at all the harvest data I have from this xpac to see if the above data is consistant throughout.

Wow, even doubling the brellium numbers to match up the nodes it looks like your chance of getting brellium is about 2/5th of Karborite or Ulterian Diamonds. Not too awful suprising considering my own (limited) experiences, but unexpected.

Yeah, I had noticed that, but can't complain really as I don't find Brellium to be all that useful, compared to the spell rares. I do know, however, that from now on I'll probably be harvesting for 20 mins in the hour and then alt hop, do something else, come back for the next set of 20 mins other than just settingmyself up for hour long stints like I have in the past. I've done the whole harvest 3 hours straight etc... before and I just always seem to get more rares in those 20 mins I posted than any other time.
