Guild Wars 2

I would like to see an indicator added to the tooltip before you mine/gather/chop something that shows whether your currently equipped tool is higher than, lower than (i.e. you can’t harvest it) or equal to that node. I made some crappy examples of what this could look like in MSpaint; see attachment. Alternatively, the game could just show your currently equipped gathering tool as a tooltip before you harvest.

I would like to see the whole tool thing reworked. An orichalcum pick should wear out much slower mining copper.

Rewarding players with lower tool costs for boring and tediously keeping a bunch different level tools and selecting the cheapest one for what they want to harvest is bad game design.

Make tool wear and so costs depend on the level of what you are harvesting.

I’d also like to see the different tiers of tools re-skinned so it’s possible to tell them apart while they are in inventory. And I’d ALSO like to see some mystic recipes for tools so that we can make some uber tools, kind of like how we can do that with Salvage Kits and end up with a 250 use ultra kits. And while they are at it, make them account bound instead of soulbound. I’d like to be able to pass them off to my other toons when I have leftovers after a tier. AND MAKE THEM STACKABLE, so I can combine partial stacks into full ones.

Yeah.

I think that’s everything.

THIS is exactly what I was looking for! I’ve had several times that, of course by my own mistake, I got ruined materials because of wrong gathering tools, and that’s a pain when gathering orichalcum…
