something fubared in PR

[dguy1]

Sounds to me like they have effectively cut off any way to level from 50-90 in PR foraging? Is that correct? Other than care planning for someone. Nice possibilities for a monopoly for those that already have the skill.

Windy gate is level 100+ look at the mobs

So I am level 150, if I take a walk down there I should have no problem surviving, right?

Obviously you have little experience in game... Though I am familiar with your name... Look at your target gauge it gives a color for the level mob you are fighting.... That color has a matching level range. right click the color in the target bar and go to help...

Also consider the mats in that area are limited to level 150 which=level 100+ like anywhere else.

That is the issue, it seems. This thread is getting a bit off-track but I think that is the main concern.

You didn't answer my question. I am level 150 melee 2 handed. Since the Windy Gate is meant for level 100 players, I should have no problem going in there and surviving.

hehe yeah and you will find areas of KoD you will have a hard time surviving as well... That is also the same level area

Nope. Wylkroe might survive, but I doubt you would. Which proves nothing except that your post stating mob level showed intent wasn't very well thought out. Your credibility here is not so hot. I think everyone has picked up on your belief that roots are intended for only 250 groups, as well as the fact that this is nothing more than your personal opinion, and seems to be different than every other post in this thread. The rest of us appear to feel this nerf was ill-conceived and added nothing to the game.

I see everyone had an opinion about the harvestability in the Prime Roots. I can say that I was told there was an inbalance and it will be fixed asap. I don't think it will be like it was before, but it should be better than it is today. Thanks for your understanding guys. Patches always have surprises, this is one of them.

Thanks Cerest.

Raynes, answer this question for me:

How can you possibly equate someone going to the PR and foraging for q60 mats (that's the best you can get, try for q70 at 51 PR forage and you MIGHT get 61.. at a 5% success rate) with getting the best equipment in the game?

Seriously.

How does this make sense to you?

I'm relatively new to the game, myself.. my highest level is currently 93 forest forage. My guildmates helped me get a few of the roots tickets anyways, so I've been working up PR foraging a little. Tell me why it's wrong for me to be able to pull q60/q70 supreme mats, when I can't even use those mats to craft equipment for myself? (my crafting AND my stats allow me to use higher)

You wanna say I shouldn't even be able to forage in PR till 200+ or whatever? then don't give me the skill tree till 200+, and make all the mats down there 200+.

If the PR tree is available at 51, then any lvl 51+ forager damn well BETTER be able to forage in PR (getting there and staying alive are something different). Adding these minimum levels without changing the level availability of the PR tree is stupid. No two ways about it. Now anyone wanting to level PR forage MUST, as has been stated already, careplan or let others forage thier sources.

This nerf basically amounts to punishing the low level players for being low level.
