Guild Wars 2

When you buy a basic harvesting node pack, the wiki says you get three nodes: herbs, roots, and veggies.

But, it doesn’t say what tier comes out of them, nor does it say what implement you need. Does anybody know?

The wiki article links to the three nodes’ articles, which have the loot table listed.

OK, thanks.

What about what implement you need?

The tools needed are listed on the right side of each page. (It’s Copper Harvesting Sickle for each one.)

Good luck.

For what it’s worth, my TP spreadsheet estimates the daily value of the Basic Harvesting Pack to be approximately 8.3 silver per day (at today’s prices). Given today’s gold:gem exchange rate, the pack is worth about 200g and would therefore take around seven years to break even, assuming you have one account and never miss a day of farming it.

Conclusion: buy it for the convenience of doing dailies, not for the drops.

Bonus fact, since Illconceived has the basics: none of the in-home nodes that you can purchase are really worth it from a strictly financial point of view. Just like the gemstore salvaging things, it’s less expensive to just do stuff in-game without buying them.

That said … I own all of the above, so clearly financial min/max-ing isn’t the only thing in play here.

Good points.

One thing is that if you’ve already bought something for the homestead, then buying extra saves considerable time over farming those same things naturally. So, that’s a plus (although, not a financial one, as Illconceived pointed out.)

@Daddicus: did you end up buying it?

@Daddicus: did you end up buying it?

Actually, I will be. Next time there’s a sale, though, so as to cancel out part of the expense.
