Hey I dont know how many people will use this but I have put together a few maps marking areas with large population of nodes, the idea is to gather a vast amount of materials in the least amount of time possilbe, so nstead of running through entire maps, you use a waypoint system to get as close to the lare area of node, farm them, and move on to the next waypoint. I have formulated several maps with nodes of kitten t4 materials. I will update the marked maps to include t5 materials and alsoascended materials eventually by marking locations of open world chests. I haven’t marked the farming spots for leathers and cloths nor the fine crafting mats, I will include them later on.

The file is a high pixel image containing all the maps so open it with a viewer and zoom in to the idividual maps.

That is nice but I hope you realize that these nodes(except certain permanent nodes) will move with every map reset either from updates or from the map emptying out. They are also different depending on server.

Also http://new.gw2nodes.com/

However there are some WP that will usually have a bunch of nodes around. Is that what you are going for?

There are still areas that will generally have a lot of nodes clustered. Mount malestrom is my personal fav. Easy area for plat/hard wood/herbs (can yield vanilla beans in this area). There is also some mith/elder wood but if I’m in a rush I just skip those since they aren’t worth as much. This is aprox the path that I take (note my epic paint skills)

Here a secret tip if you want 40s per character.

As most people know, there is a rich platinum ore in the water west of golem. This node is present on all servers.

The bonus to this is that on some servers, there is a 2nd rich platinum ore just 30s away north of golem.

That’s 20 platinum ore within 30 seconds of each for an easy 40s.

The server I’m farming it on is Tarnished Coast.

Happy mining.

Thanks for the info. Is this a persistent node, or is it just in the most recent patch?

The northern golem node is not persistent. It changes after every server reset. So it may disappear from TC but show up on Yaks, for example.

I confirmed this as true. I haven’t checked the western node.
