beatiful dream you harvest from a dream catcher with hearth magic
your 'random' lp was from something you were studying that finished while you were offline
if you need beautiful dreams yes hearth magic is useful(if you can't find someone to trade with)
mining will be worth it if you have a place to mine. my main hearthling has mining and has never mined anything...
I figured I'd get mining since I had metal working, and I only got metal working because I needed cloth which is made by a loom, to make a loom you need basic mechanics, and that requires metal working. so I have those skills and never once have I seen metal, and the 1 time I saw a place to mine it was too dark(before I got custom client) to see what I was doing
as far as exploration, I'm assuming you have foraging, get it if you don't. what you can find foraging is based on exploration times perception so early game those are yourr 2 main stats that should be raised(eat your veggies)
summary:
forage
raise exploration
raise perception
make sure you can use a skill before you get it
you can use dreams without discovery(steal 1)
read the wiki often
get custom client
