i don’t know what to say this is really getting on my nerves the black lion pickax is well not cheep and not easy to get i got lucky and received one from the black lion chest, but why is it that its ruineing orichalcum ore???

Being under attack while mining sometimes ruins the ore. Same with logging and gathering herbs. Been like that from the start and has nothing to do with the kind of gathering tool you use.

I have never been happy with any results using the BL harvesting tools. It did not matter if I was in combat or not. Occasionally, I would get ruined ore/herbs/wood. So I changed and started using the Ori tools and have not experienced that problem since.

I recently got the new Molten Alliance Mining Pick and love it. Of course I can only afford one so I saved all my ori picks for my alt characters to use.

But back to the point at hand, the BL harvesting tools are not what they are all cracked up to be. I’ve never been very happy with a tool that costs more than it offers.

I’ll go ahead and confirm this. It’s happened to me with Ori Picks as well, shortly after I’ve been attacked.

maybe in the description it be nice if it says 25% chance or what not of ruined ore when under attack. but anyways i decided forget the BL Ax and dumped 25G for molten alliance pickax. and if i get ruined ore agine i will be back lol.

i i don’t know what to say i didn’t take that much damage so ya I’m a bit upset. i would like maybe a replay from official developer or maybe an update that gives in explanation like has 25% chance to receive ruined ore chunk if being attack or in combat.
