The patch has been live for 45 minutes. How could you possibly already know that the harvesting is horrible? I would think it would take at least an hour to re-pick all of your skills. Maybe you're just speedy I guess.

Did you just pick all the skills you had before, because that could be the problem? Since the patch changed so much about harvesting, you might want to read about what each stanza does now instead.

Who knows...I won't be able to log in for another 9 hours. I am not meaning to attack you, I just am curious at how you know it sucks so quickly.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I have already repurchased all my skills, and some new ones to test, and harvesting now is horrible. I have harvested 50+ nodes already for a grand total of about 20 mats. Keep in mind those 20 mats were all under Q. level that I need, and as a 150 level harvester when I pull a q.97 mat I get 19 exp

Just to let everyone know, you WILL want Material Extraction Specializations.

It's sounding like picking the same skills isn't what we should be doing after they changed what they do. I'm going to pick and choose a little more carefully ;)

What I would really like to know while I'm waiting to d/l the patch, is did the Tryker race finally get resources above Q50 in the homeland, or are we still forced to outlandish areas to get higher Q resources?

Thanks in advance for the response.

LOL thats kind of funny, why did you use ql 250 extraction on a ql 50 source? I would have gone with a lower level extraction brick. No wonder you took so much dmg and used so much focus.

If you had posted that for a ql 250 source then the dmg would be too low. So what was your point?

Maybe the point was to say I should be able to harvest a q50 with superiority using a 250 instead they feel the harvest system is nerfed. maybe? ;)
