Ok. I took another look at the Alchemist's dilemma today. Or rather, I tried to, but failed because of an overcast sky. As long as I've known about it maybe affecting, the sky has been cloudy. I also tried the Mirror Mine again, went and trained 'hunting' to as high as I could reasonably get it with not too much exping. It's at 68% now, and hunting for squirrels (like 30 of them - lost count) took quite a while. Then I think the 'gnome tinkerer' is the next one to need help. Going to have to go back there another time. Now the ferry arrived at Laenor, so I'll have to run along...
