Guild Wars 2

I swear, they have an algorithm to specifically make sure no nodes of the type required to collect for a particular zone or region (wood, herbs, ore) are near any scheduled WB for the zone.

It never fails. Today, mining in Shiverpeaks. Not a single node of ore between the WP and the tents on the hill in Frostgorge waiting on Claw. Every other day, there’s the rich mithril node on the north side of the platform, Orchi and other Mithril everywhere, always that one on the south side too. Today, nothing. Oh, except one mithril I saw you had to fight to.

Happens with trees between the WP and going to Fire Elemental all the time too.

I swear, they do this on purpose.

hahaha. but seriously, it’s fine, just RNG. You only notice the difference because you never care if they exist or not when it isn’t gathering day.

If you really want to know how to do it fastest, http://gw2timer.com/ has a “go here” for every one of those, and it’s reliable and accurate.

I’m sure it’s a “watching the pot of water waiting for it to boil” syndrome as well, but my god, was today a nasty example of that. I had to run all over Wayfarer looking for copper. :p

Uh-huh! I’ll confess, I use the helper to find them, because I don’t have the “always” nodes vs the “sometimes” node memorized, so that helps me out. hashtag super lazy
