Guild Wars 2

I am tring to finish that collection got everything Auric weapons and other item about events and octovines defeats but i couldnt get “Auric Lodestone” from Auric Basion’s ores. i have been doin it more than 1 week nearly 2 week and mining all ores in Auric Basion even switchin map and again gatherin but stil couldnt get it that item i need it to complete Rare Collection. Is it really that much hard to obtain it or it si bugged? i checked wiki and some other players they all sayin same things nearly “u have to mine ores several times u will get it easily,” But i mined all ores even switch maps and switch charts but none of them worked. On other weapons collection that comes with HoT from 1 ore i had get all lodestones that i need for collection. I though it musnt be that much hard.

Edit: Forgot to say my all masteries fulled already. Exalted gatherin not the problem.

almost same issue here, but I can only guess it’s the same problem I had with the “Machined Shield Backing” required for Machined Shield → Horlogicus / Glint’s Bastion.

Said issue?: RNG.

Took me over 100 Noxious Pods to get it.

As for the Auric Lodestone, I too have been looking to get it (haven’t completed Auric Weapons though).

Mined many, many ore nodes and no cigar.

I have noticed that the Auric Slivers you’re supposed to get from the ore nodes as well are an extremely rare drop (I think I’ve had one in about 100+ ore nodes).

Going by this, I can only assume that the Auric Lodestone is an even rarer drop, so going by my rates it’s likely a 1/200+ drop-rate.

You’re just getting unlucky with the RNG.
