Guild Wars 2

Hi Hi

Im not sure if someone already wrote about it, at least i did not find it. But their is something with the amount of Wood and Ore you get, which Kind of buggs me.
After Farming serveral maps i always ended up with haveing like 20% more ore then Wood. In generell that is not that bad since many professions use ore and not so many Wood.
but then i rememberd that i Need more Wood then ore to make an Ingot/plank

so i started calculating with the 20% more ore then Wood i have a 45% Chance of getting Wood from an resource spot(only includes tress or mineing spotts and no herbs) and kitten of getting ore from it

then I looked that i Need in averange 2 ore for 1 Ingot but 3 Woods for 1 plank

and i continued with calculating, now i wanted to know how many resouce spots i expect to find to get 100 Planks and how many if i want 100Ingots
(here is my calcultion 100=(Chance of certain ressource spot[Wood or Ore])X(Amount of Planks/Ingots i get per ressource spot)X(Amount of Ressource spots i expect to Need for that Goal)

That makes for Panks (100=0.45×1xX) and i expect to Need 222.2 ressource spots for that Goal

Ok now the same for Ingots (100=0.55×1.5xX) oh now i expect to Need 121.2 ressoruce spots

That shocked me because for the same amount of Planks as Ingots you Need to find like 100 more ressource spots and i think thats is a bit rediculous …

So i looked a bit closer and I saw on most maps you find the ore Iron and iron need 3 ores for 1 Ingot so i adjusted the calculation for the stand of Wood and the most likely found Ore

so for 100 Iron Ingots (100=0.55×1xX) i need to find 181 ressource spots those are luckyly more Close to each other but since you get still find 20% Metal then Trees it is also confuseing that you sill need 20% more ressource spots for Wood then for the “most expensive” Metal

And in the maps you have Iron in you also have often Wood that need accutally 4 Wood for 1 Plank which is ridicules, because that way you expect for those Woods for
100 Planks (100=0.45×0.75xX) 296 ressource spots which is just Insane

as note: the amount of ressource spots i calculated are only the amount i expected to need under ideliced standarts like counting rich mineing nodes as serveral Independent mineing spots and the expection that every ressource spot give exactly 3wood/ore, with smart Navigation or luck it can be siginifcant reduced
*want to mention again ressource spot is ment to be only either a Tree or a Mineing node no Herbs!

As regards to the number of soft wood logs to make one plank, many months ago, I don’t remember when, the number of logs was increased from 3 to 4 because of oversupply and low demand.

Personally I think ANet should revert it back since there now is a use for it.

^^ yeah i wish now i would have some oversupply at least for 1 part of gear i Need xD it used to be easier to be easier to get nice light stuff and artificer weapons xD
