Material Specialization with Resource Tracking

[aylwyne]

Oddly I have never once had a problem with material tracking. It is one of the changes to harvesting which I think came off very well. Without knowing what may have been the issue I have seen no change to the skill.

It sounds to me like there was in fact amber within 1m of you, as well as many other mats. This is where the material specific prospecting comes on handiest. Back up 2 steps, prospect for only amber and I will bet a slightly used packer, only driven to church by a tiny Tryker lass on it, and amber will be there.

Believe me, I fully understand what's going on. The tracking works totally different between when I first train in it and when I log back in. In the first case, it says I'm within 1m of the specified sourced NO MATTER WHERE I AM (this doesn't seem to be getting across to people). As soon as I relog, I can fire off the exact same prospect standing in the exact same spot and get entirely different results (it now says i'm ~200m away). The second time, it works like a charm and leads me right to the spot.

I never said that there wasn't amber in the spot when the tracking works. I'm simply saying that tracking with a material specialization is not working for me until my first time relogging after training in the skill. That's all I'm saying!

Cool, just trying to help... It might be that you little guys are so close to the ground you throw off the mechanics

I appreciate that you're trying to help. I'm just wanting to be clear on what the problem I'm describing is. All I wanted to do is let people know that if their material specific tracking is not working when they first get the skill, try relogging. It's worked twice for me.

I appreciate the input and will try all suggestions, thanks much.

I swear I've seen that little tryker rider, she has such cute little feet... didn't realize it was church she was off to ;)

The trainers in Tryker work in a different way than the ones in Matis. That may be causing the problem.
I haven't tested it but now I know what to do if it doesn't work right after I get the skill.
