Keep in mind; everything I know about MMOs, I'm getting from FFXI, in which you couldn't do that. And most of the online guides assume, much like the rest of you, that anyone who plays might be familiar with exactly what's on the drop-down menu. Which ... not so much. Though I should've figured about the ore deposit thing on one's main map, given some of the mining guides have those nifty little dots.

Level 68 woohoo! I can mine tin and silver now! WOOOOO!

*ahem*
