Why Basic Cloth Rack gives only few jute scraps? and why jute scraps and not wool and cotton as it supposed? (considering the other ones)

I got 3 jute, 3 wool, 2 cotton. I think you just had bad luck, or maybe it has something to do with Tools, I forgot to check that.

What is a basic cloth rack? I assume a new node for the home instance. Where do you get it?

Ahah, thanks. Since I’ve collected everything for the home instance so far, I’m adding that. Everything but the treasure chest thing, anyway. Hooray for having cleared my bank out of some valuable cruft the other day, I didn’t have to toss cash at it!

If you average 10 silver worth of light materials every day it’ll only take about 3.25 years to recoup the 120g.

Why do people still keep thinking about these kinds of things as earning/saving money?
They were never supposed to be that. They are simply there for convenience. I for one love having a easy daily gatherer in one (small) place.

my only complaint about this item is why is it on the other side of the Hoelbrak instance? when you enter the home instance there you have nodes right in front of you, but not the cloth rack

I agree for things like the salvage-o-matic because that is a convenience item that keeps bag space clear.

BUT, it’s just as convenient (if not more so) to spend that money on the TP and it costs considerably less so, in this case, I think it’s a pretty fair comparison.

I really wish they put all these nodes near each other in a convenient spot in all the homes. it defeats their purpose to spread them out so much.

BUT, it’s just as convenient (if not more so) to spend that money on the TP and it costs considerably less so, in this case, I think it’s a pretty fair comparison.

It also comes down to usability, a salvage-o-matic provides different levels of convenience depending on how much you intend to use it, because the action of salvaging is repeatable, up to thousands of times a day if you were so inclined.

Same for an infinite harvesting tool, you can run around the open world harvesting for 8 hours a day if you wish.

These home nodes are novelty items, not convenience items. They provide exactly one use every 24 hours, incredibly limited usability. And essentially they save you from tapping your “O” key and buying up to 12 T1 – T3 light scraps once a day. Which, arguably, I think is actually the more convenient option.

Now if these worked like regular nodes, where they refreshed every hour, then I would consider them convenience items. And they’d work similarly to salvage-o-matics and infinite tools in that what you get out of them is essentially what you’re willing to put into them. I think very few players would actually be disciplined enough to swap to their Home character and mine them every hour on the hour.

But as novelty items, that makes it no different from spending 200g on one skin versus a free to apply skin. If that’s what you’re into, go for it.

But a skin is something you would actually get use from considering GW2 endgame is basically dress up wars 2. The harvesting tools and salvage tools are great convenience items.

The node packs, OTOH, are a waste of time and money. Going to the TP and buying 200 scraps at once rather than 5 minutes a day for 2 months to get the same thing is silly. I don’t care if you buy them, but my original point is it’s a fair comparison to make with the amount of gold/gems they cost.

Well, it’s the Basic Cloth Rack, there really isn’t any reason to believe it would be any different from the Basic Lumber and Basic Ore Nodes packs: a pittance of the lowest three tiers every 24 hours.

I hope in the near future they will put next ones to:
for mining iron/platinum,mithril, orichalcum ;
for logging hard, elder and ancient wood;
and for clothing linen, silk and gossamer

If they would offer a bank for the home instance, than it would be for convenience yes. But nodes, no. A node is simply for profit. I can imagine that it could offer some convenience IF it was certain what you will get. That is not the case. So again: no, this is not for convenience.

I bought it immediately when it came out. Sure, it’ll never pay for itself, but I like having that extra source of cloth and the idea of my mule just wandering over each day and stealing clothes off some poor merchant’s rack is hilarious. XD

As far as actual mechanics, the item appears to work like this:

The rack gives you 3 random items, drawn from the following pool:

- 1 – 3 Jute Scraps
- 1 – 3 Wool Scraps
- 1 – 3 Cotton Scraps

My first two days of “harvesting” got me the following results:

- 1 x Jute Scraps, 3 x Cotton Scraps, 2 x Jute Scraps
- 1 x Jute Scraps, 3 x Jute Scraps, 2 x Jute Scraps

So judging from that, it may be possible to get 3 × 3 × 3 Wool, or 3 x Cotton, 2 x Wool, 1 x Jute too.

i got it… because i wanted to, and it looks nicer than the other nodes (with exception to the sprockets node, which is quite nice).

anyway, on 1st day: 1 jute, 5 wool.
2nd day: 1 jute, 3 wool, 2 cotton.

According to the wiki this does NOT count toward Daily Gatherer.

If people want to buy it, fine, but I really can’t see the use. Is there really some game-spanning shortage of cloth that people need this? Although looking at the bizarre way that the low level crafting mats are worth so much more than higher level ones, maybe this is intended to try to re-balance those absurd imbalance examples like how cotton is worth so much more than gossamer.

At least in the case of the cloth rack, it seems to me that helps people who have only high level characters get some low-level cloth without buying it off the TP, since loot drops will mostly be higher level stuff.

Indeed. It is still a convenient way to get a bunch of low level crafting materials though. The daily gathering part was more to the nodes as a whole in the home instance, seeing as we have had the exact same thread every single time one of these were released.

Low level cloth items are harder to get due to scaling. High level characters usually don’t get low enough stuff to salvage into the lower tier materials.

I really thought I’ll have 3 of each when I bought it. I mean, all of the others stuff like that works that way, and costs 1000 gems. I’m really disappointed can we ask for a refound or something ? I’m so tired of all RNG mechanics in this, and now even the stuff we buy on TP provides us RNG based results…

Actually no.
Firstly it costs 800 gems.
Secondly the harvesting nodes are RNG as well.

They usually never issues refunds for buyers remorse.

My bad, 800 gems (I also bought the wood-o-tron at the same time xD)
Yeah harvesting nodes are RNG, but I mine Copper, Silver AND Gold each time, and I have at least 3 of them

It’s so expensive comparing to what it does, if the description was better, I would never bought it (I’m french, so the translation can be really… bad…)

Honestly they need to remove RNG from this item, It should straight up give 3 of each everyday.

RNG should not be a factor when we are paying for an item…considering how long it will take to get our money back from it…

True, but if one person were to really want their gems back, take a look at how the clothrack looks both on the bltc AND in your actual homeinstance… it actually shows sheets of both silk and linen!
Thera is nothing telling the consumer that these items are not being gatherable from this node, hell some could even believe these are guaranteed drops, from the look of it.
So having these sheets of unobtainable materials hang there could be seen as false advertising, something that isn’t legal in most countries.

If you were to point this out you could perhaps get a refund
