Guild Wars 2

I’m not finding any Orichalcum Ore in any 75-80 areas.

can you give a little more detail? Are you seeing other nodes on the map? what level are you, what maps etc

There are only 2-5 nodes in each map, depending on the map you’re on. They also switch places on every zone reset, and given that you might be on a different zone instance every time you change map, they might switch around a lot.

I’ve been in Malchor Leap, Cursed Shore and other 75 to 80 areas. I find lots of Mithril.

When is the last time you took that char to farm ori there? How many hours between the 2 visits if it was less than a day?

Have you mined any ori today? or is this an ongoing issue, do the nodes appear on your minimap?

Keep looking and don’t switch maps before you’ve found them. All of those areas will have the nodes if you just look hard enough. Keep in mind that you can check the node on your minimap by hovering your mouse over it. That way you can avoid checking on the mithril nodes over and over again.

One thing I’ve noticed is ori and ancient wood normally respawn at reset unless you’ve harvested them within the six hours before reset. In that case they respawn that much later. For example, if you harvest them 2 hours before reset, it’s 4 hours after reset. 5 hours before reset then it’s 1 hour after reset. So if you harvested them today within the 6 hours before reset, they aren’t going to show until the timer ticks over.

yea they have 2 respawn timers, daily respawn and the 5-6 hour one

It gets even more complicated .. the 5-6 hour timer is only applied if the map is still
the same IP. If the IP has changed you can harvest them again directly after the
daily reset ^^

The same applies also to permanent iron for example .. the one in Dredgehaunt
in the spider-cave confused me a long time, because sometimes it was there directly
after daily reset .. and then the other day again not.
