Guild Wars 2

Please make it so it acts like orichalcum node – you require an orichalcum pickaxe, and it can only be mined once a day as usual, but any of your characters can mine it – providing they can hold orichalcum pickaxe or similar. This would prevent people from making alts just to mine it, and since quartz crystals is only used to convert into charged quartz to make level 80 gear, it wouldn’t be gamebreaking at all. :o

Regarding the use of black lion pickaxes – that is at the player’s discretion if they wish to use it, since it is a gemstore purchase and random reward from daily/black lion chest.

Wait what—- I can be mining that once a day on any character?

home istance quartz node can be mined just 1 time/day per account

I’m confused, I’m fairly confident that it is once per day per account, not per toon. I have many alts and I’m pretty sure I’ve never been able to mine with more than one toon per day.

He’s not saying that it can be mined 1/day/character; he’s saying that it should be mined 1/day/lvl60+character (or whatever the level requirement for ori is). Not that I agree with it though. Personally, I like it the way it is now, otherwise I’ll park all of my lvl 60+ alts outside of a home instance instead of just 1. For people that have 8 (or more) lvl 80s this is just an unfair advantage (to be fair this game isn’t that alt friendly), but at the same time, if you need more quartz, just buy it from the tp.

I think I’ve only missed a couple of days for making charged quartz/mining my house and I have ~52 charged quartz and ~500 quartz still left over. Besides if you can mine the home instance per character instead of per account you could easily get multiple charged quartz per day just from mining.
