I'm learning Mining II right now. It'll take me 4 hours 40 minutes to learn it. The Glitch Strategy wiki page says this skill should take 22 min 30 sec. Am I doing something wrong, or were the skill learning times increased greatly?
I started out trying to learn as many of the short-time skills as I could. I just now found out about the learning time penalty increase for knowing a lot of skills, so in hindsight I shouldn't have gone after so many skills. I know 28 skills right now. That shouldn't make the Mining II time take twelve times as long to learn, though, should it?
