Q:

Do Unbound Gathering Tools change what you get?

I’ve been harvesting petrified stumps, but instead of petrified wood + UM, I’ve been getting empyrial (sp?) fragments + UM.

A:

Petrified Stump nodes are not guaranteed to give Petrified Wood; what you will get is this:

Empyreal Fragment (1-3)
Unbound Magic (4-6)
Petrified Wood (0-1)

No matter the tool, (as long as the tier is high enough, of course).

No. They don’t change what you get. You’ll get whatever the node normally gives + some UM.

Thier was a petrified stump right near the story portal that gave me no wood. I used the unbound tool as well. All other stumps work fine did you use that same stump.

You probably got a string of terrible RNG. Petrified wood nodes are like BF’s bloodstone nodes; ascended mats are the primary resource, with a chance at the map’s currency. As backwards as it seems regarding wood nodes.

that one should also only have a single hit before it’s depleted, and with a chance of 25-33% per strike, thats pretty low. I think the idea was that in the long run, you get 1 petrified log per tree, sometimes more, sometimes less. Better chances of course if you make 4-6 hits on one tree
