It's because you are young. You have to wait till you don't have the title anymore, OR, if you want, you can get rid of it by saying : I renounce my young player status.  Note that this is permanent.

Niporloium the Thief only seem to be droping common gems. Killed him a few times already. Maybe im just unlucky mind you, but he doesnt seem to be droping mining quality gems. I got ambers from him but thats all. Those common gems are easy enough to get. Ton of mobs drop them so they really arent the issue.  Only way I know to obtain the rare quality gems is mining, and they arent droping at all right now. Maybe with 120 mining you can get 2-3 a week... but mining powerscroll also seem to be non existant. I havent seen a single one on vendors, nobody seem to know where to get them either. So with 100 mining and a Bot running all day long for one week, zero gem is kinda depressing. I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to get gems at 100.

I have been buying my gems because I have no other way to get them. While it's cool that I still have a way to get them (while the supply last anyway), it would be cool to be able get them myself instead of buying them. Even if I get one gem only per 24 hours or something, I don't mind, I just would love the ability to obtain them myself.

On the other hand, lumberjacking, with only 100 skill, you can get ton and ton of brilliant ambers, parasitic plants and other "rare". Maybe a bit too many even. It's really just mining that seems broken atm.

This is just my point of view. I am not whining or complaining. I just think the nerf on the gems drop rate was a bit too big. Maybe up it a tiny bit.

Thoughts ?

I read somewhere that gems from mining are now much harder to get. I know my boyfriend has been running a bot for a while now and has not seen a single gem. I have also heard a few other people saying the same thing or saying they find 1 or 2 gems every few days... Konstantine said he would look into it, Im not sure if he did yet.

I have been looking for gems on vendors, some still sell them but certain gems are getting harder to find... I havent ask anyone, im mostly just looking on vendors.

So to answer your question, yes you can gems from mining, its just really hard right now...

I just realized I have not introduce myself yet. I joined this shard a few weeks ago and been enjoying it a lot! You may know me by the name of Wikanne ingame or on IRC

So my name is Veronica, I live with my boyfriend in Canada (quebec). He is an American but Im a frenchie
My boyfriend plays with me on this shard too, his name is Tony (Tituz is his toon name).

I'm 31 years old and I have been a game developper. (rigger/character modeler) at Ubisoft Montreal for the last 10 years.

Im a PVM person. I dont do PVP at all, mainly because I suck at it... and it scares me in UO I enjoy collecting stuff and building houses to decorate them.

I played on Atlantic Shard a lonnng time ago. I have been playing a bit on free shards in the last months, never found the perfect shard until now. I think People are super nice and mature here so im pretty sure Im not going anywhere else!

See you all in game!
