is it just me or since the pr was changed back has it been alot harder to get anything but choice mats from most spots? ive been going to the same fiber spot in spooky end for 2 days and its had only choice mats. exc/sup always give me a season or weather message

we have had the kinchers taken away from the gates to give us access but the patrols have been upped alot so surely the risk is still there to warrent the rewards of supreme or at least excellent mats now and then?

Isn't sources supposed to give different kinds of material dependings on time weather season etc? In that case it isn't strange if the mats available varies. :)

Yeah, I'm sort of getting used to the fact that some spots in Wastelands, for example, are more unavailable than they are available. They do differ from some spots that are just fine (well, normal in this case). The reason is weather here, of course.

Sure, even this I think some spots in Wastelands would need a bit tweaking as they are too easy to access and harvest, unlike stuff in Trench of Trials now (previously too easy, now quite the opposite). I'm just alarmed of this new patch and how badly it might cripple prime root harvesting, well, again. If it's something similiar, those certain amounts of mats available per spot and their respawn times, like they were during that one day after patch 2, it's gonna be horrible. I mean, I'm fine with the fact that spots are unavailable due to weather and season somewhat often, but do not cripple them anymore from that. Please. If the idea is to prevent people getting too much excellent and supreme, make *those* appear more seldom, not the choice too.

to my experience, a recent patch might have broke excellent mats finding, because my 250m search leads me to spots where is nothing, and places where i knew where excellent mats don't give any now...

well :)

aye i just noticed the notes on todays patch and i have to say im pretty unimpressed lol they are making the area somewhat richer for foragers it says..... but the mats will be limited..... if they want to make it somewhat richer than it is now then put the sup/exc mats back if i want choice mats ill stay in fyros lol not trench of trials =/ i can see todays patch being a great big flop as was the last one the ats people dont seem to forage much as they didnt notice the changes that crippled harvesting in the last patch they said they have had loads of feedback on the pvp but no mention of any on the pr foraging =/ still im sure when the patch goes live if it is a big flop there will be a few foragers here with some feedback for them :)

hehe if the pr patch destroys harvesting again i doubt there will be any more 52 speed daggers and 34 speed 1 hand sword combos from me :( lets hope they dont stop me experimenting like a mad weaponsmith

when they last added this limit on mats in a spot Eshin had to wait 5 hours just for some mats to return... im ready to complain if that happens again

on a more serious note
(since i'm working onsite harvesting some s*** ibm worthless piece of c*** ;)

can anybody point to me how to access excellent mats? i found very few so far... is a trip to the kingdom of far far away required? in groups? once there, can you harvest solo? etc...

currently harvest 102 ... quite bored with dyron

on another note, is there a 150q node area with around 100 mobs? i spent lots of good time around 4ways because you could harvest and solo some mobs to pass the time... now the mats there give me crap xp, and the mobs too ;)

you missed our trip to windy gate the other day theres some pretty nice safe spots there for people starting out in pr foraging the only problem i found with windy gate is that to get in you have to go through scorched canyon which is full of level 200 mobs just to get to a low lvl pr harvesting spot with low lvl monsters inside o.0 there is kinchers outside of it that youd expect to see at the entrance of underspring before they removed them
