Guild Wars 2

Dear Areana Net,

Hello ANet team. I have a question for you since I’m currently doing a map project. The question being. Are crafting node(ex. Copper Ore) spawn locations now randomized at certain time intervals?

You see I’m a cartographer of sorts. My project is to attempt to make a Crafting Node Spawn Location map of every zone in the game. Although, this project would be quite a silly thing to attempt if the answer to my question is yes.

Again my question is: Are crafting node(ex. Copper Ore) spawn locations randomized at certain time intervals?

If yes, I think the idea is a neat one that will keep farming materials new and refreshing; as well as stop a few gathering bots.

Sincerly,
A curious cartographer.

They seem to be randomized with each new build

Bump for the end of the night, in hopes of a dev response.

im pretty sure i have seen a map of this exact time. ill find the link if i can,

also, i know from experience that crafting node locations (at last orichalcum, ancient sapling and rich mithril) move every time there is a new build or the server is restarted.

edit: http://gw2craftmap.bteamgaming.com/ i assume thats what you were after?

There is a fixed map of nodes and those maps are rotated between servers each time a new build is pushed.

Well one question i had answered, in that node spawns are in fact server specific. my next question is if anyone knows of any site that’s compiled known spawn maps so far so that once you find a node you can check to see which map it’s a part of? Or are the maps themselves randomly generated per server?
