Prospect +3 sources (4 spots will apear)

you should have enough time to start digging a second source after you have completed the first one. Remember to take the mats you have dug from the first source, before you start the second or you will lose them.

Step by step explaination....

Stand at a mat spot.
Prospect with a prospect stanza that includes the +3 sources.

After you have prospected ... 4 green sources should appear.
select one of them and dig it.
when you have finished digging it.
Take the materials pulled.
The three other spot should still be visible.
select a new one and dig it.
when you have finished digging it.
Take the materials pulled.

Possible reason for not having time to dig a second source....

you are using +bonus time in you prospect, that is too long.


For the best results when digging .... the source time should run out just after you run out of focus.

When you have completed you first extraction you focus will regen automatically, so when you start you second dig you should be on full (almost full) focus.

I would not remove the +time stanza, as they give You an extra mat (or two)...

And BTW:
I use a +15s time-stanza (lvl120 forager) and have plenty of time to dig two spots. Normally the 3rd (and 4th, 5th..) spot disappears while I am digging my 2nd one. If I (for any reason) let one spot exhaust before time is over, I am very often able to begin digging a 3rd spot, before the rest disappears.

I wonder what stansa influences the time bar on yor node? Is it aggresive rate? gentel rate? somting else?

Maby i mist somting

Its kinde of funny in the biginning the bar run out to fast now its to long. I dont knowe whitsh stansa influences the time bar in a node/sorce.

I think i will solve my problem when i finde out what that is.

I use +time stanzas all the time and that's never really been an issue with multiple prospecting. Finish digging selected node, instaregen, choose your next available node.

Only thing I have noticed is certain lands can require different multiple sources. Lake, for instance, seems to require only 3 sources to give me enough time to do 2. Forest/PR needs 4 for time enough to do 2. I should probably test this in Fyros and Zorai too.

well... the time bar is influenced only by? -> time

hmmm.. I think I did not get Your question?!

Time lets the first (the timelife bar) collaps - and every stanza, that gives You extra seconds extends this bar (You notice this stanza's start, when the color of the first bar changes from white to red).

The length of the white portion of the 1st bar is dependant on the number of sources and the terrain specialization. Therefore I suggest, You use all (maximum Sources, terrain specialization and extra lifetime) stanzas to get the most out of Your spots.

The white bar isn't dependent on the amount of sources you prospect. It just makes the sources stay there longer, but no extra time for your separate extraction processes. Bonus time stanzas and terrain specs do.

Don't know about that forest thing, but PR source times seem to be different yes. Not quite sure that is it the prime root terrain specialization stanza in your prospect that makes the difference, as I'm having somewhat less time in the forest ecosystem for example, even with the appropriate spec there (my logic: pr stanza is after lvl 150, the rest lvl 50).
