Guild Wars 2

How many strikes do you get on it compared to the 3 on the regular?

6
/15 chars…….

Twice as many. Thus, 20 Candy Corn per day, rather than 10.

Wiki says it’s for all players on the account, so visitors don’t get the extra hits?

They do.

Thank you kindly sir

Not exactly. There is no guarantee on how many pieces you get from either node.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Greater_Gift_of_Candy_Corn

This upgrade doubles the output of the candy corn node, giving an additional 6-12 Pieces of Candy Corn per day.

The regular candy corn node gives 6-12 pieces and the upgraded node doubles that. It’s random each day how many pieces you get. The minimum is 12 pieces and the max is 24 when you have the node and upgraded it.

I think it just means the upgrade is not character specific.

So if I buy and use it on my human I can go and mine it on my asura, or any other character on my account, not just the one who unlocked it.

Hey, thanks for this thread. I had not noticed that the node being sold was an upgrade to the one I bought last year so I had ignored it.
Now I have twice as much to harvest each day. It may even pay for itself eventually hehe.

6000 candy corn in cost. You get roughly 6 per day. So it’ll pay for itself in 34 months. So.. sometime into the third expansion. XD

It might’ve been useful if I didn’t already have the Auric, Quartz, Bloodstone, and Sprocket nodes. I can get my Daily Miner with ease already, so extra candy isn’t so useful for the price.

Yeah, the numbers are not quite as bad as you say but it’s not really about profits. I just like having loads of nodes in my home instance and it pleases me to harvest seasonal stuff out of season (you should see my stash of Wintersday gifts). It costs 5000 corn and yields between 6 and 12 extra per day compared with the standard node (so between 12 and 24 in total). The numbers make more sense if you pair up with someone to harvest them but it’s still a long payback.

I don’t care about the payback, I just want a complete home instance with all the cats. I’m only 4 nodes away from that.

How do mining nodes relate to cats at home? And what do these cats get you? Sorry, I’m new(ish) to the game

You can fill your Home Instance with mining nodes. You can also fill your home with cats by finding various Hungry Cats and feeding them various items. The cats don’t really get you anything (yet) other than making your home feel more alive.

I have all the cats, and I’m very close to having all the nodes in my home.

What nodes are you missing?

This is the thread that just keeps on giving. I didn’t know about the cats either.

Anything else you folks want to teach me about the game I’ve been playing for the last year or so?

The three new ones (Iron, Flax, Hardwood) and the snow truffle.

NOTE: I’m totally not including the Enchanted Treasure Chest as I’m not sure I’ll ever get that one within my lifetime.

I am missing the flax node only and I too do not count the treasure chest. I will probably never see it either. I bought a second account when they were 50% off and my very first key I got at lvl 10 in the personal story provided my iron node. I sent it to my main account of course.

I am like you. I want my instance complete. I haven’t gotten the cats yet, but that is my next mission.

I am really hoping they develop our home instances even further. I enjoy going there as it is a place in the game I have some part in developing.

Thanks. By the time I read this reply last night I’d already found the Dulfy guide and fed most of the cats. I’m only missing the non-Ele prof specific ones and the Dry Top one that needs the Geode recipe (I’m saving up Geodes for Amber recipes).

I just didn’t know that feeding cats was a thing so I didn’t know to look for more info.

I hope one of those NPCs is going to deal with all the litter trays…
