as said above..
Buy the prospect for more sources and you will find that eventually you can dig 2 then 3 sources..
It just takes time and lvls
keep at it guys.. it will all come together for you eventually i promiss.

Jup, agreed Xeno.

How about you guys go out and dig in a two man team? One digs the other cares... That should help a bit. And is more fun. But be careful, chatting while digging can be deadly. :D

And here´s proof that diging in team is always more succsessful... eventualy...
"Team diggers" :D ;)

range 2 (10 meters)
Angle 2, (40 degrees)

multiple sources 1
prospecting counterpoint 4 (maxed)

anything wrong with the above?
I use

range 1
only fine mats
multiple sources 1

and an appropriate counterpart.

I dig with a q20 stanza and nearly everytime can dig both sources, except when I'm a distracted. Using no angel stanza places both nodes nearly at the same position and range 1 makes sure that I don't have run very far to get to the sources.

I used this technique on several new build characters and it works very well for me.

Acridiel... may i say something...

you´re really MAD, Sam ;)

crazy hilarious Video, but the END *argl* makes me want to gorge my eyes out O.o

back to topic:
junkyman, not that i could add more insight then the previous posters, but listen to them.
took me quite some time and lot´s of frustration cause of the same thing that bugs you too, now.
just because i didn´t ask. It wasn´t till Bijam, Zok and Ami gave me good advice and i read DoupleTaps HarvesterGuide that i did use harvesting stanzas right.

But the early Frustration still took it´s toll and i can´t stand digging for more then an hour or two... and so Harvesting is my lowest skill still.

so do ask and read the Guide and you´ll become, like them, a Harvestinggod ;)

greetz and good luck

Prospecting multiple nodes is one of the best uses of sp there is, goes far beyond actually digging them :)

Well, I got the multiple 2 for 3 nodes and have no problems getting 2 of the 3 harvested (third pops while I'm halfway done with the second node)

Harvesting is up to 37 or so, right now.

I'm a Tryker, will be needing a guild soon as I'm starting to get a little bored. :p

Thought I'd signed up paying already but not sure, I'm still on the starter island.

Thanks for all the replies and advice :D
