Guild Wars 2

I’m to understand Jade, Ruby & Wood nodes in the LW3 maps respawn once a day per character per account.

If this is correct, then why are they not?

On multiple of my characters, I will go into any of the above 3 maps, and for some characters, the nodes are there. For others, they are not. And they’re all definitely past 24 hours and/or the reset.

In some cases, I’ll be minding my own business, just resource collecting along. And, boom, out of nowhere a group of resource nodes I’m headed to just up &disappear.

Is this a known issue and/or is it being addressed?

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Perhaps, your account hit the daily limit.

An account is able to harvest 50 nodes each day.

There aren’t any notes about limits on the others, but there may be. /shrug

Good luck.

Yeah, I thought it could be that too, but the last run I did, was past 24 hours & the nodes blinked out on character number two. And I’d definitely not gotten more than 50 nodes off just two characters…

Hmm, maybe I’ll wait a second day & test to see if it’s the 50 or something else?

Did you gather from any of the nodes within six hours of reset?

I have no idea, but reset for the nodes (as far as the Account cap is concerned) may be at a different time than Daily reset. It may be 24 hours from the last gather, or reset at some specific time each day.

As far as nodes just disappearing, I’ve had that happen, as well as appearing, or appearing, then disappearing, and I’m sure I’ve never hit any kind of cap, as I don’t farm-gather. That’s just some kind of weird anomaly that happens, sometimes, I think.

Good luck.

from personal experiance the following can be asumed
1. all except winterberries have a limit on nodes gathered – not rubies etc but actual gathering per node.
2. nodes take 24hrs to reset per chr – to say a chr does the nodes in bloodstone fen at 11am they cant touch the nodes till after 11am next day as an example – but another chr can do the nodes if the limit hasnt been reached .

i tend to chr rotate so a diff chr does the map daily – dont confuse it with a fresh chr who can still gather the nodes on daily reset . I tested this a while back by having a chr gather from 3 nodes and check the map every few hrs till the 24hr mark reached to see when the 3 nodes respawned. I would have liked it if anet allowed the nodes to be gathered after the limit was reached but would give no “currency” , it would just give dust etc.
I do believe across all but bitterfrost have a limit in the range of 50 nodes – for me thats usually 2 – 3 chrs worth of gathering where node = 1 gather , that theory was from lake doric where there is no way in hell 25 jade nodes on the map so the only way 50 nodes can be applied is 50 gathering which is probably ( and ive not tried to count ) 12 – 15 nodes at a guess , which is around 3 – 4 chrs gathering would hit the 50 limit easily . This is just theory tho based on 4 chr rotation jus incase they try and node farm and accidently take a chr in who is part into respwning as some wont show .

Your #2 is wrong. Well… not completely as there’s more going on than just a 24 hour timer. Try gathering after reset or a few hours before 11am.
