lol.. ty ACSS. i thought it was because my lock-pick skills were bad. now that it's higher i went back and still found squat! gotta look again!
and i got 4 gems from finishing the Well-quest in High Hall mines. but that random merchant for some reason just wouldn't sell me his gem!! i clicked and i clicked!! grrr..! and yes... i have to agree with you on the veins being totally random, i only found Malachite ore in them ever!
