Guild Wars 2

so how does node farming work now?

Make sure to have a farming tool equipped, then find a node and press f.

Make sure you have an appropriate level farming tool equipped.
Those ruined chunks of ore may stack nicely in your inventory, but they aren’t worth much.

they reimburse the cost of the tool
I really wish each node had a line on them about “requires level 45+ tool” or w/e. I hate being in an area, and every tree and ore requires a steel or high tool, but every shrub requires darksteel or higher.

If the OP’s question was in regards to the NPE changes, the following has changed:

1. Merchants in starter zones no longer sell gathering tools, but you can still buy them easily in the racial cities. (Make sure to stock up on spares though.)

2. You won’t find gathering nodes in the extremely early areas of the starter zones, but gathering nodes will start appearing as you move further out.

3. While the game won’t mention gathering to you until you reach a certain level (5, I think?), it doesn’t stop you from buying the tools and starting gathering before then.

haha… no no. seems my question wasnt as targeted as i had thought. just meant with the world changes and such the sites i normally used such as gw2nodes doesnt seem to be adequate.
