Could we have a skill that works with plant lore, a tracking skill
if you will, that tells us where to find what.
When used without target, it tells us (depending on the %) what minerals
can be found nearby (50x50 square?), and when used with a target, it
tells that there might be something of that sort northeast from here,
for example.

Uh, like 'use astral projection at ruby' -> You 'magically sense' that there's
a ruby lode somwhere northwest of you?
I know there's been a lot of realism whine lately, used to argument for and
agains a tune or other, whichever suits the wank^H^H^Hhiners agenda best, but
this one is BEGGING for a realism check. Like wtf?
I'm not sure if I got the idea right but if I did it must be one of the most
ass-hatted ideas I have ever seen.

Actually the idea in itself isn't that bad imho but it shouldn't be a skill
that is availble to all but something that you gain after completing tier
3(whenever that is being implemented) and it could work a bit diffrent.

You can use it to sense if there is a certain material within an area of 50*50
without giving directions but just confirm that it is there. When being a
merchant myself I would hardly ever use this skill/ability but sometimes you
need that extra 10-20kg of a certain material that isn't in the mineral shop
and then you have to spend 2h just running around looking for it. This skill
would speed up that process but it would hardly effect a merchants mining
trip.
