So 16.5 mins = 288 mats

ok ... so lets say 35 mins = 400 mats to allow time for chatting moving around etc.

Plus two bags are better than one, for time effectiveness.

hehe you said 15min, now you say 35. A tiny difference there.

With 2 harvesters that solo I can get more then that. Its not effective to care for someone else. I tried that many times. The only advantange of a duo is that its a bit more relaxing. And you both get less XP.

Light armor, tools and amp = 95 bulk for me, leaves 205 = 410 mats (if you wondered why I ask for 400 mats)

So basically we don't disagree you just exagerated a bit with your first claim.

Can you then abord the diggin and get the mats + start at an other spot you prospected earlyer?

But the point I was making was I find it difficult to get bored of doing anything (other than work IRL) in 35 mins.

As for effectiveness of having a carer and not....

I dig constantly without risk with a carer, solo I find I am less effective, distractions like have to stop digging to chat extra.

I personal think 5 extra ql170 > 9 ql50 mats

I play the game to be social .... given the choice of 1.2k xp and company vs 2.2k and solo .... I would rather not have the XP.

I dug in the fount for 800xp just to stay social vs 2.2k in Lorai!

I dig for the mats not the XP. Harvesting is a necessary evil.

That is the great thing about guild, region chat and tells. You don't need to stand right next to the person you are talking to. =)

I am social as well while i am harvesting. You just have to learn the trick.

Hopefully the following advice will improve the world of harvesters, promote team work and lower the prices of equipment.

How to dig regardless of level:

Sub lvl 20 with propect

- prospect for a higher level harvester and get them to dig you sources till you hit lvl 20.

Hi, I'd like to be powerleveled, I see you are level 124, fancy using my basic source time 1 sources ?

Lvl 20 - 50

BUY CAREPLANS

become a full time carer for a higher level harvester.

still power leveling ... if there is something I hate, its ppl asking to be powerleveled.
Want the levels? Earn them for real.

i personally like a little slave.

and there is a point. when i have a carer i get 9 mats without 7/8 and im sure i will not get explosions or gass clouds. you see my way of digging needs a carer simple as that.
and yes you can talk to each other in region blablabla but its also nice to have the actual character there next to you. i mean otherwise they should not have bothered making characters that can be seen by other players.
about the powerlvling. well i say let each player decide what he likes most. and when someone cares they are earning there lvls as they should only a bit faster

i rest my case

On eI know well, and I agree with you Sky. I really dont need a second "slave" as it being put already, to keep me alive and entertained.

Funny... so to be social, MSN would do? I don't believe that. I have cared for higher levels than me. Didn't I know I got good XP. Yes, I did and I loved it. As a lowby, I find I would get at least 90% of that XP by just digging myself. So I guess there must be something else I like about it. Maybe I just like to be on the helping side. Maybe, being social is not just chatting.

Actually yes. Harvesting just gives me something to do while I wait for the other sides response.

If I want to be really social and helpful in a game playing aspect I go on trips / hunts. Or stand around the stables and have a laugh with the people around there.

But I think its up to everyone how he want to be social or not. If you need another char to stand next to you to have a social feeling thats fine. I don't.

But we are far far away from the original topic so lets just leave it at that and go to sleep now =)
