Guild Wars 2

Why is lake doric, in the middle of kryta, alone of all the living owrld maps in having completely inappropriate (useless) harvesting nodes? I thought at first that that all LS maps were limited to HoT harvesting nodes, but i just noticed that’s not the case in bitterfrost – it has the appropriate nodes for a lvl 80 shiverpeaks zone. So why is Doric different?

And sawgill mushrooms of all things? they’re the most useless, worthless gathering node of all. They make one kind of account bound food, which requires only a handful of them, and due to the node density across HoT maps (AND lake doric) they are at vendor value only on the TP.

Could we get those harvesting nodes replaced with something worth stopping to gather?

Doric has L5-6 trees, L5-6 ores, and Jade Shards, exactly the same as the other LS maps. (And every map with swampy or cavey areas includes mushrooms, useful or not.)

And Lotus, of course.

(Which you can use to make Silver with.) =)

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Right, mushrooms are thematically appropriate in those sorts of maps, but they’re never the ONLY harvesting node.

and that’s kinda my point – the map has both of the other useful gathering nodes, so why are harvesting nodes left out in the cold?

Maybe do not bother harvesting nodes you deem useless?

Or get a set of unlimited UM tools. Then no node is useless.

Doric is mainly used for one thing now… farming leather. Honestly if you want different nodes pick another map.
