Recipes
learnyellowgreengreyThe skill where each recipe can be learned, then turns yellow, green and grey. Orange recipes always give a point. A trainer's skill requirement isn't in the game files, so the learn number shows only for recipes an item teaches, and with your skill set the list assumes a trainer recipe can be learned 25 points before it turns yellow, as 9 in 10 item-taught mining recipes can.

Partly New profession bags exist; the mining bag holds ore, stone and the mining pick. There is also a new dedicated bag slot item, the Reagent Pouch.
The files Apprentice's Mining Pack 277115 is a 4-slot Mining Bag (BagFamily 1024). Forever gave Mining Pick 2901, Copper Ore and Rough Stone BagFamily 1024 (Era 0), so ore, stone and pick fit. Copper Ore also stacks to 20 (Era 10). The reagent bag slot is real (ItemSubClass 11; Linen to Bottomless Reagent Bags, 6-20 slots), but no item called 'Reagent Pouch' exists (6652 is the old quest item).
