While at Nemeton Grove , playing as a Sylvari, I noticed the model of Heart of the Terebinth wasn’t showing.
I am able to talk to Heart of the Terebinth and buy the Magical Fruit.
I tried to adjust my camera but the model simply never shows up.

I think the Heart of the Terebinth is the tree you’re standing under, but due to game engine restrictions, they have to use an invisible NPC.

I think that is completely possible Jink Bonestealer.9274
It does make it look a bit unprofessional, I would suggest making the tree talkable and/or making a real npc (with model) the vendor.

This is by design – the Heart of the Terebinth is the tree, but we do use an invisible model to simulate receiving something from it. Since this is not a bug, I’ll be moving this to the suggestions forum.

Yeah. It’s not an ‘avatar’ like with the pale tree.

For some reason is a try that is a merchant.

I also found that strange, I though they’ll make something like an NPC after the event to purify the tree selling the stuff, but they chose to make an inanimate plant do it instead.

It would be kind of fun if one of the branches moved a fruit closer to you when you talk to it, though.

I wonder where does it keep the moneys…

Good to know Jason King, I’ve seen this a lot more with other things too.
What I find so strange is that you can talk to some objects in the game, but not this tree itself. Why not?
