It seems like the location for Soft Wood has recently changed and the Wikis are wrong about where to find it. This is extremely frustrating to me. Fields of Ruins no longer has Soft Wood, as far as I can tell. Neither does Snowden Drifts. Where can I farm for Soft Wood?

The game is supposed to be fun. It’s not fun having things change for no discernible reason, not being informed about the change, and not being able to find any information about the change.

Softwood is the second type of wood in the game. It should be found in every single 15-25 zone. I seem to find it there. Fields of Ruin would seem a bit high for soft wood, if you ask me. Try Kessex hills and Briban Wildlands. Also, Diessa Plateau.

Zones can have a mix of node tiers. Look around at the surrounding mobs or heart levels to get a better idea of whether you are in the right place. 15-25 is the optimal range but the intro areas of a slightly higher zone would also have it.

Soft Wood is harvested from Gummo Saplings (Kryta and Ascalon), Mimosa Saplings (Maguuma) and Snow Cherry Saplings (Shiverpeaks). These are mostly found in level 15 – 20 zones, although in some cases you may still find T1 wood nodes in the early sections of these zones. (Snowden Drifts still has Aspen Saplings near the portal leading to Wayfarer Foothills, for example.)

OMG. Fields of Ruins is a 30-40 area it will have both soft and seasoned wood; nothing changed. Just harvest everything you come across and sell them to buy soft wood. Seasoned is the rarest (outside ancient) anyways so you should be happy.

Yeah, I was sleep deprived and fussy. Thank you for the good info.

OTOH, here’s the wiki page where I got some of my bad info:

That’s an unofficial guide site….nothing to do with the gw2 wiki at all.
