Guild Wars 2

Is it possible to get a Petrified Wood Node for our home instance or has anyone found such an item in game?

Currently no, it’s not.

Anyone know why these things churn out more Empyreal Fragments than Petrified Wood? I mean, I guess it follows much like Bloodstone Fen’s mining crystals gave bloodstone dust and bloodstone rubies, but I just don’t see the connection.

Im just glad theres another place besides Silver Waste to farm these.

Yeah, its odd. I guess maybe its because an “Empyreal Crystal Formation” wouldn’t really fit with the setting or something, but mining wood and getting mostly crystal is… strange.

Petrified Wood is not actually wood – it’s a silica and other mineral fossil that has displaced wood. I’m guessing that Empyreal Crystals are one of the minerals that form inside the petrified stumps (Just as Quartz is so often found in real-world petrified wood.), with the harvested chunks of petrified wood being the intact “Other minerals”. Would have been nice as another source of quartz, though.

Sartharina is true, I’d imagine you can look at Empyreal crystals as crystallized magic of sorts. That’s what I think of it at least.

I think there should be an option to buy this as well as is a Bloodstone node, for 10.000 Unbound Magic and 50g, there are people that want to buy it

Is anyone else noticing since the serves were down earlier they are now only spitting out one spawned item (like plant nodes) instead of 3 (like ore and wood nodes)

i think that perhaps at some stage the node will get added along with another ring of fire map. Hell maybe it could even get added through current event rewards
