Guild Wars 2

Hello guys

Some of you are aware some of you will know it when its to late (get patched).
With the guesting system you can farm now mats in 3 server with the same char. (Homeserver, guest server 1, guest server 2).

Now this counts only for 1 char.
Lets say you chars over lvl 60 and you want to farm orihalcum (wich sell for 10s?? ea)
if one spot gives around 4 oris, thats 3x 4 =12 oris per character.
If you ahve 5 characters, thats= 5x 12=60 oris for an account. (or 6 gold)

I dont know how fast those expensive mats respawn but that calculation was just for 1 mineral spot. If you go trough many more farm spots each character, you see the gold per hour is huge.

Now use it as long as you can before it gets patched. since this isnt an exploit, its a benefit from guesting- ill say go for it!

have fun!

*Edit: Some say oris sell for 3s ea. Still more then you get farming in Orr or Dungeons in 1h.

Orichalcum sells for 10s each? Might want to check the trading post buddy.

Where is your thread? It isn’t visableO.o

I get the feeling that Anet will consider this a exploit tbh..

I don’t think so. But I do believe this is the reasoning behind removing the rich ori node.

ow you got me there :P

Ruedi.3425:

cant you read my thread?
i said you can make up to 30 gold in 1h with just farming ori nodes in homeserver, guest server 1 and guestserver 2 by switching all your .

Back when, transfers didn’t have any restriction(any at all, people could change server, as changing characters), ANet said it was ok to do it, I don’t see why they would care about it. Before you say they placed the restriction on transfers because of this, no they didn’t, they placed the restriction because it was affecting the WvW.

Lol, sorry i could not resist.

I do think Anet will consider this an exploit. I can’t imagine that this is working as intended. But I am not sure how they would stop/control this.

1.) Ori is not 10s. It’s around 3s.

2.) Ori nodes vary by server, so you’ll have to keep moving on each server.

3.) Ori nodes aren’t the best way to get gold per hour

This^….they only sell for 3s 9c not 10s each.

Kilrain Daggerspine.6843:

And this^….Doing this is taking advantage of guesting, not for it’s intended purpose of playing with friends, but rather to farm nodes.

At least in Frostgorge this isn’t possible. If you harvest the 2 nodes there on one server they are also gone on other servers.

This is not possible, they removed this ability back when transfers were free. If you mine an ori node on one server it is gone for you on ALL servers.

Not the Champion Karka node in Southsun Cove. I did mine that same node within 10 mins on FA, TC, CD yesterday.

Turtle Dragon is correct. What they have done however, is put all crafting nodes in random locations for all of the different shards. Except for the southsun node. Its always in the same spot. but what works better is guesting around trying to find two ori nodes in close proximity to each other. once you find them you will double your take. omnomberries sell for 3 silver as well so imagine if you can find a server where there are two ori nodes and an omnom node close together. Its pretty sweet until they push out a new build and then everything move around again. Happy hunting.

I never understood why people farm mats like that.
It sounds terribly boring to login on different chars and run after nodes.
Farming CoF would probably make more money in the same time and wouldn’t be as boring.

At current rates, this is a horrible waste of time. You can make more money running around orr actually playing the content and selling off you greens and blues to a merchant.

lol, first thing I did after reading the OP thread was check spidy :P
I proposed in another thread that this was why they limited server guesting and remove the rich ori node.
rich ori node = ~15 ori ore in 10 seconds
8 characters = 120 ori ore in 80 seconds + ~80 seconds to switch characters = 160 seconds
24 servers = 2,880 ori ore in 3,840 seconds
2,880 ori ore = 87g in 64 minutes

instead:
ori node = ~3 ori ore in 3 seconds
8 characters = 72 ori ore in 24 seconds + ~80 seconds to switch characters = 104 seconds
3 servers = 216 ori ore in 312 seconds
216 ori ore = 6.5g in 5.2 minutes

some people like to play for fun.. not to farm..?

If using Free Transfers to gather Ori is an exploit, which it was back in September, then this very well MAY be an exploit. The only difference is that you’re limited to 3 servers a day.

Anyways, I don’t think it’ll be an exploit since the gold/hour ratio is lower than other means.

Seems entirely reasonable. And at 3 servers max per day, how could this possibly be labelled and exploit? o.O

Or you could farm CoF for half an hour and make twice as much money.

yeah, I don’t think it’s an exploit. just not something I want to do despite the income potential. it requires keeping all your characters at the node, and they all have to be fairly high level now (I think they made that mining pick level 45? – used to be no level requirement before the update). I’d rather just make 20g/day off the TP and actually play the game.
