Another thing I've noticed is the drop rate for Elite Clues by pickpocketting is phenomenal. For someone like me who loves doing only elites, it's a blessing but it may also drive prices of rewards down.
Had a couple days to kind of test everything out. Xp rates for thieving and mining are great, and very afk. You do need pretty high levels to use these methods though. Still, it's going to make the 90-99 stretch a LOT easier for everyone. Can't wait for the agility course
