And I know for sure he harvests without a carer as well. We spend many hours in Loria together.
LOL. Come to Loria and harvest where even the grinding spots are close to agro mobs. Here you stand eye to eye the foe all the time. If you have 15 min uninterupted harvesting you can deem yourself lucky.
Don't even want to try to get to any other mat spots then those few because its a DP feast getting there at best times.
Please correct me where I go wrong ....
Prospect 6xspots I estimate when when using a ql170 that the spots remain active (visible and dig able for about 1.5 mins)
I can dig 2 spots for full mats (using agg rate 5 agg speed 5 agg ql170 + terrain spec rate increase) for 18.5 mats (19 at a push). + I can ususal get an extra spot for 50% source time (10 mats)
so for 2 mins = 48 mats.
2 prospects with out moving = 4.5 mins = 96 mats
move to next spot. +.5 min
repeat above +4.5 mins + 96 mats
move to old spot or new spot +.5 min
repeat above +4.5 mins + 96 mats
So 16.5 mins = 288 mats
ok ... so lets say 35 mins = 400 mats to allow time for chatting moving around etc.
This is of couse a rough estimate of the time based on how long the spots last..... I spend 90% of my time chatting to others or with the care to worry about how long the spot remain active (also real life time seems to pass very quickly when in the Ryzom world)
As Een (BorgUK) says ... I don't dig without a carer, unless there isn't one online. I am happy with 1-1.2k a min XP while digging and helping my carer get 1.5xp is their reward for helping.
Plus two bags are better than one, for time effectiveness.
