Guild Wars 2

According to their description, these are meant to give iron or copper and green or soft wood. However, they have only ever given us copper and green wood, with no deviation over the past 2 months.

Is it a bug or is there something else needed to trigger

We have never gotten anything but copper and green wood either. Not once.

I thought it depended on how much your guild has upgraded it and that would change what you’re able to get from it. One of my guild has upgraded it pretty far and I have gotten iron from that one.

That would make sense, but I’m not seeing a tooltip anywhere to explain that

Better output has to bought. If it says it will give you iron and you don’t have ore synthesizer two, I expect the problem is in the item description :/

OK, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up

The first upgrade for the ore will unlock both Iron and Silver, while the first upgrade for wood will unlock both Soft and Seasoned.

Whether it’s a bug that the wrong ores are given on the first tier nodes, or a bug in the description saying you should get Iron and Soft Wood from the first tier nodes, is uncertain at this point. Whatever the case, the next upgrade will get you where you’re supposed to be.

Seems like a bug in the description since iron and soft wood are both tier 2 materials.

That they are, but the initial synthesizer construction for the ore synthesizer requires Copper and Iron to build, and for lumber it requires Green and Soft Wood to build, even though in both cases the resulting node only gives Copper Ore and Green Wood.

The second upgrade for the ore synthesizer takes both Iron and Silver, while the second lumber upgrade only takes Seasoned Wood. Maybe there was just confusion as to what upgrades would unlock what things, so an Iron requirement was left on the first upgrade by mistake when it was meant to be on the second. And then they just got the Lumber one backwards.

It’s all speculation on my part. We’d need a dev to comment. Maybe a bug post is in order?
