I do not understand why we cannot see the digging speed in % anymore. I mean, 0%, 50%, 0% ? Even if I change my clothes it's still the same; so I basically have no clue of my digging speed... Will that be changed in the future ? :/

it's the same with lime chipping speed.
As it was changed from a much more clear implementation, showing % increases every set time interval, I can only deduce it was changed in a deliberate effort to obfuscate the actual increases you are getting from your artifice.

Lime chipping is too slow

That makes no sense D: would like some dev insight on the reasoning behind this.

From patch notes:
Pickaxes now chip stones @ 50% Speed

I still see other %'s when digging, like 15% increments when digging lime. My mining speed also is not 50%. I can't recall the exact numbers, but it takes 4 or 5 'ticks' to mine a square.

Are you sure you aren't referring to chipping speed versus digging speed?

[OrestNecros]

Digging of soils is 0-50%. Digging of boulders is more detailed though - i think it`s 5%.

Did a lot of things you try to slot break? Maybe you are cursed?
Did a lot of boards fail to plane? Maybe you are cursed?

I've had that feeling since day one on these two - so that particular neurotic paranoia is not really new to me. How noticeable should this be then ?

note how I actually said chipping speed

[JohnCarver]

The clothing now changes the time that elapses between 'ticks' of the progress meter.

You will certainly notice a difference if you have digging clothes vs. no digging clothes.

[Spazzmaticus]

Still, even with 270+ mining artifice, chipping speed is almost as slow as pre-nerf without. Add to that the fact that you have to sacrifice pocket slots for mining and I think it's a bum deal.
