Guild Wars 2

So I have used several stacks of frostbitten tools (axe, pick, sickle) and they only give tiny snowflake and nothing else.

Is this a bug or intended? Should they have a chance at any other snowflakes? Or someone put wrong description (“Provides a chance for snowflakes when gathering” instead of “Provides a chance for tiny snowflakes when gathering”)

Or was someone lucky enough to get non-tiny snowflake?

Haven’t tried using any of mine yet but what tier of things where you using them to harvest?

I use(d) all 3 tools on all kinds of tiers, and i only get Tiny Snowflakes.
So either they r bugged or the tooltip description is wrong.

All tiers — mithril and oricalcum and copper and iron, green wood logs to ancient, from carrots and onions to ghost pepper — I always get a tiny snowflake (if I get one). I mean it’s better than nothing, for sure, but I wonder if it was supposed to have been given other kinds of snowflakes too (kinda like presents used to give more luck but then got re-balanced by a lot)

I can confirm this bug. All over tyria you only get tiny snowflakes using the frostbitten tools which are mostly useless. I gave up and swapped back to using my normal tools.

The same here

The Frostbitten tools only ever seem to give out Tiny Snowflakes. This may have been intended as you can promote snowflakes up tiers via the Mystic Forge.

In any case, the real value of the Frostbitten tools lies in the fact that they’re basically a free supply of Orichalcum-tier tools that can probably last you till next Wintersday, if you don’t do a lot of harvesting.
