Prospecting more than 1 spot

[sasaj]

Srry to disappoint some people here, but ive had more than 8 pulls and more than 60 mats from a single node.

Define single node to me plz.
For me is single node when i prospect, extract, mode 1-2 steps back and prospect again at same location, not few meters around.

Yes, thats my definition also

I am lvl 200+ harvester

I'm not saying that i can get these results at every location every time, far from it, but it has happened regularly

LOL sources stay much longer when using multiple spots and also it seems that the chance of finding something increases a lot.

Now thats something nice that wasnt in the description

Well Sunday was a great day.

I hit 190 and got a stable ql200 extract (had about 90% at 188-189).

However, with a lot of trial and error I final broke my personal extraction record.

1 location (node).
1st prospect (6 spot)
Pulled 23xql200.
Second spot pulled 23xql200.

2nd prospect (6 spot)
Pulled 23xql200.
second spot pulled 23xql200.

Yep 92xql200 from a single location!

3rd prospect - depleted

I needed a carer to do this.

I can't wait till lvl200 and the new stanzas

In theory you can pull 300+ mats of single location if you like:

Have one harvester make 3-4 6 spot prospects, then get enough 2 harvester teams digging on them each pulling 20 mats of the spots.

That possible, because the number of mats in the location are checked when doing a prospect and the nodes are generated at that time.Hence if a location is untouched it will generate a lot of big nodes.

To get the maximum you will need to harvest as much as possible before the next prospect is done.


Everyone getting more then the mentioned 60 mats per spot get those of the exessive mats from the last prospect. Or he just harvests 2 different spots which sometimes are overlapping each other.

The typical respawn rate of a choice spot is somewhere around 10 minutes.



Something you can see from the outside before even touching the node:

When the round things representing the spot are small and few there is not much mats left in that spot. And you will run out early, so always take the biggest ones.

Never real understood why people don't do this, if it down to getting the XP for the propect, then just rotate the propecting role.

I personally, only see 1, mabe 2 other Diggers in EI and we are all after different mats.

The '+1 source time' curse, material rites also tends to stop me digging other peoples sources. I personally dig with +2 (in prospect) +1 from rites. If I dig a source provided by a prospecter using anything greater I am left hagging in the air for 5-15 secs. (this feels like a life time to a harvester)

When the round things representing the spot are small and few there is not much mats left in that spot. And you will run out early, so always take the biggest ones.

I had been lead to believe from Double Tap, that the smaller ones are more juciy. I now check each source to find its source content prior to digging. Its a real pain running out of source content at 13 mats with half my focus left.

(will be submitting a ticket about the source info window being 'hidden' behing the source names on a multi spot prospect.

Shalahs and Kipees also seem to do a wonderful job of hidding the source info. Didn't it say in the patch notes that info windows would no longer be obscured?
