Whenever I /sample now, it drains my Mind & Action pools. Before now, it's always been Action only. Did they just change this or is this a /bug?

Sampling minerals always comsumes a small amount ofmind pointsevery time you do it, as well as a substantial number ofaction points. Surveying does just the opposite. You should check to see if you have any battle fatigue that may add to the amount of points that you are losing? Higher skill in surveying should also help to alleviate that problem.

My sampling has always taken some mind. Up until yesterday, it took a little less mind than action. Today, it's taking a super amount of mind. My mind pool will be empty before my Action pool is even halfway down. This sucks because I purposely went with a race with nice action regeneration and very poor mind regen, because in testing things out it had always worked out fine for me. So up through yesterday I had some mind taken and more action, my action pool was bigger than my mind so they'd both run out at just about the same time. And again, today for some reason I'm getting super mind drain and hardly getting to sample at all before I rest again, and have over half my action still remaining. I don't have wounds either that would be affecting these things.

Have you been drinking and eating? I had the same thing.. suddenly my mind went down xtremely fast. I ate and drank and now all is cool. Wearing armor also seems to have a huge impact on how much mind is used per survey/sample.
