Guild Wars 2

I tried to find a post about this, but yet to have found one.

My sister and I both bought Nodes for our Home Instances.
Today, we entered my instance, farmed the nodes and left for her instance.
We found the nodes in her instance the used form.
Aren’t they suppose to be available for harvesting?
We also made sure it was the particular person to start their Home Instance, as well as trying to enter alone.

Please tell me that her spent 50 Laurels and 30 Gold wasn’t a waste!?

i think mining the nodes counts per account per day

so while you can enter another home instance and mine the stuff there you cant enter a 2nd home instance and mine it again (doesnt matter if its your own or from someone else)

i guess you will survive it^^
1 month loginrewards … you cant change it now anymore so dont let it bother you

Regardless of whose home instance it is, you can only get home instance things once per day. Otherwise, you’d see great chains of people going through each other’s home instances, tanking the value of anything you can gather from an instance node.

Now what you could do in the future is both of you by different nodes.

Man what a bummer. But I do see the point of the instance farming.

This would be a really sweet scam if it worked the way you thought it would. Alas, it doesn’t:

I’ve never got the usefulness of these things, given the cost, especially in a game where nodes are per-player and so you’re not competing with others to get them.

I admit the copper node isn’t terribly useful, but some of them are like the sprocket node. That one has been profitable for me.

Home instance nodes are per node per account regardless of who’s instance.

It wasn’t really a waste, because while you can’t double up how much you gather, you don’t have to always party up for her to get her daily gathering done. So if there’s a day where she’s playing and you’re not, she can go in and gather if she wants to.

Sprocket and Quartz are worth getting since their supply outside the home instance is highly limited.

Basic Cloth is worth getting too because the price of cloth. Basic wood too, given the price of T2 and T3 wood. But I wouldn’t get them unless you have spare gems from, say, achievement point rewards. Arguably the T6 nodes (ancient wood and orichalcum and maybe the plants) are worth getting too, but with HoT giving more such nodes – including rich orichalcum nodes – I don’t think it’s worth it personally.

The rest aren’t really worth getting IMHO.

I have the nodes but it’s more since I like collecting stuff than anything else. I even did the math back when I got my ancient Wood node. I Think it ended up in me having to harvest it for 11 years if I wanted the gold back. So no…. most nodes is not Worth it if you see it from an economic perspective.

Then again, not many legendary weapons are Worth it either…
