Gatherng exp

Hi, I'm just wondering if using a life skill based talent would give exp when gathering using rare mineralogy or shyllien ecology, and if so how much?

There's no Talent that these skills are assigned to, sadly. Currently there's no way to get x2 Mineralogy or Ecology training without using a Life Skill 2x EXP Potion or gathering from the dangerous Large Crystals surrounded by all the Golems or Sasquatches. You could buy Skill Training Seals from the Seal Merchant on Sundays, wait for a x2 Life Skills Event or just slowly work at it xD;

I believe he means getting character exp, not getting double training. I don't know the answer to that question, though.

Oh - whoops. Well, I'm pretty sure you don't get any character exp when gathering in Hilwen or Shyllien, even with a Life skills talent. So if you want character exp, go milk cows or gather rare herbs (just not in Shyllien) xD
