Also...travel from Tryker is the hardest I have seen in game. Plan on catching a world tour pulling through there sometime soon if/when you plan on venturing out of Tykerlands.

Also you have to buy the ticket TO a place....from the place you are wanting to go to. I know, I buy the ticket TO Paris...FROM my living room online, but that isn't how this game works...sadly enough. I keep hoping that sometime soon this "technology" or wisdom DAWNS on the Karavan and Kami...but...I am not holding my breath.

Yep, that is a good way to judge a mob, first time I saw a Gingo EAT its kill I nearly fainted!

btw, a very good way of finding out wether a mob is aggro or not is by observing it, simply wait and watch what it does when it get's hungry. it'll either attack some grass to munch on it or it'll attack another mob to munch on it's corpse ;)

Just to clarify, have been playing with harvesting a ton the past week with our two accounts, made and leveled a careplan slave --

Naturally popping sources will restore your focus.

EDIT better way to put it: Clicking "drop all" will prevent you from getting focus back on any source, even if you retarget it before it expires. (click drop all only after you get focus and exp)

If careplanning, you will get focus restored only if grouped with the extracter.

Just as an FYI there is a trip being held tonight to Tryker at 8:30PM EST sharp meeting at the Yrkanis stables. OoC is going to be the primary majority of the trek though Basic will be leading it.

Ah, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the clarification.

If naturally popping sources restore your focus, this is a "change" that slipped in unannounced in one of the recent patches. Thanks for the info.

It was a week ago, give or take a couple days, that I leveled my Tryker alt on the q50 sources around Fairhaven. She got focus back after extracting.

I had stopped harvesting from natural sources because of the loss of Focus and prospecting my own. Since I get more experience when I prospect, I almost always do it everytime now. And since Harvest is my highest skill, I use it to remove DP, 3 to 4 times it all it takes for me at this time.

Maybe the last patch fixed this and I haven't tried it since then.

Thanks for the information.

no, this works as intended or rather, has been like this for quite a while now. it is connected with promoting team work, as the replenishing also happens when working on the sources of team mates, but not on those of of people outside of your team
