Artisan Archive

First of all miner may not be the best name. Maybe geologist or metalurgist would be better. Now then there would be four skill trees. Here are some possibe ones

Resource Crafting - Allows for the crafting of various alloys, chemicals etc. Would have levels like inorganic Chemistry and Metalurgy- Require Resource Crafting XP

ImprovedExtraction- The miner's familiarity with mining equipment reduces his maintenance costs and increases efficiency. Requires Mining experience

Deep Surveying - Some resources are located much deeper. Allows access and surveying of resources only available to miners (e.g. certain high quality chemicals, ores, etc.) RequiresDeep Surveying Experience

Deep Mining Machinery - Allows the construction of specialized mining equipment: Geothermal Generators, Deep Mineral extractors.

This would make the miner a special artisan and should keep things pretty interesting.

Argent D'Azure, Theed, Naboo, Flurry

Great idea!

I think that would be a great way to break out the 4 trees for a Miner/Geologist/Metalurgist. I don't know what they were like in Beta (or the original design if they never made it off the drawing board), but the Miner definitely needs to return.
