I have asked, and asked, and asked..... No one can seem to give me the same answer. Hmmm, make me wonder, Do the GM's really know?? Do the older players even remeber the new islands??? So you cant find materials and not many older players are on the beginner islands, So who do you go for for help, when all you get from GM's is sarcasm. Yeah Im a little PO'd but who do you holler at??

What exactly is your question about harvestable materials on the Refugee islands?

I think someone will be willing to help by answering here.

You can also find out if there are any other people around by typing in...

/who

in the chat window.

You can then

/tell <playrname> and see if they have any answers for you.


For the most part I have found the guides to be extremely helpful... though if it is right after a patch you may not get an immediate answer.

hopefully this helps.

I am not on your server or I would give you my player name so you could ask me questions in game.

ummm...

hrmm...

*ponders*

well, I'm not quite sure what you are asking for.... if you can't seem to find mats, and you want to know where they are, then:

a) don't fault a GM for not telling you. GM's arent supposed to give away info that takes work out of the game. i.e., one can't ask a GM, "can you tell me where NPC x is because I need to talk to it to complete mission y?" It's work a player has gotta do by him/her/itself.

b) just ask Maybe if you were asking another player where they found their supreme q250 Big Shells, they would be reluctant to help you out. But hey, there are no Supreme q250 mats on noob island, and I'm sure that other harvesters would be glad to lend a helping hand. I do it all the time, just to be nice *cough*andkarmaprettyplease*cough*.

c) umm... do it youreslf? I've never harvested, so I won't go and say "well you can do it yourself, you're a big boy/girl/kitin warrior, robble robble robble" But, from what I've overheard in snippits of conversation, people have managed to find good mat sources en el island del nooblets on their own, via hard work and dedication.

and, if all else fails, and you just so happen to be a Tryker, send me a tell... I'll probably hang around the Island a bit longer.

oh, and sorry if I came up a bit hard, but I couldn't tell if you had worked a lot to no avail, or if you were just lazy. Oh, and I'll defend those GM's to the death. Or at least until mild displeasure due to moderate amounts of pain.

In general, I have found players on Fyros newbie Island on NA server to be quite helpful. So much so that I always have region chat window open. It has been rare that a question asked in region chat has gone unanswered for very long. Except the one where the player was asking for someone to fight...

No I didnt say what refugee Island did I... Zorai Island.

And no I am not blaming the GM's even though they have given me contradictory information several times!!

with only 4 or 5 people on the newbie island, and you use your prospecting abilities all over the place yet you cant seem to find choice material to make swords. You get told they are on the island, you get told they are not ont eh island. You get told this Island doesnt have those items. So what am I to think with only a handful of ppl on the island and none of them can help.

I went into Melee weapons because no one was building them. Well I think I hav dicovered why.... because the materials of choce red are not available. So why make them!!! It sure would be nice to have a q 20 long sword with a damage of 92, like on the other refugee island. Is it the developers?? Have they just hidden the items on Zorai Island so well no one can find them.


Whats my complaint?? I am darn frustrated and trying very hard not to sound like a child with they way I complain.

And No I AM NOT LAZY!!! I have harvested forover a week and can not find certain materials.

I am also on Fyros, and many people will even bring you right to the spot for good mats(done it myself, even took peeps on choice mat's tour).
But, being PO'ed about it makes no sense, we all had to most the time invest the time and locate the mats ourself. I have done it.

Unless things have changed, they should be outside of the towns a couple hundred yards or so. Been a few months since I was on a noob island though.

I STILL remember back in the first two weeks, where all us players were CERTAIN there were no excellent mats in the game. Good times.

I am pretty sure that all mats are available on the Zorai island, but perhaps this is a time where it might be wise to focus on fighting long enough to get to mainland and harvest there.?

First, Ariwen, your question is so vague as to be incomprehensible. As you can tell by the replies, I am not alone in coming to that conclusion.

Second, like Aldrikoy I've been on the Fyros newbie regional chat a lot. We had several veteran harvesters and crafters who were starting a new character and they answered most of our questions, although sometimes they disagreed. The Tryker newbie land was similarly friendly during my tenure there.

Third, I'm going to try and guess at most of your question, so here goes.

A) There is no "wonder mat" or generic do all mat like you get at the start of crafting. You cannot buy any do-all material (mat) from the NPC.

B) Deposits of resources are all over the map, they vary according to terrain, time of day in-game, location, etc.

C) There is no solid agreement among the vet harvesters as to what limit is put onto the materials you can limit in the newbie areas versus the mainland. The theory is that it goes up to QL 50 materials.

That's about all. Ask in regional chat or check the forum guides at the bottom of the main forage page for more info. Good luck.

Oh and next time, phrase a more specific question, thanks.
