Hey guys, I’m not sure if the Master mining pick is bugged or if they changed the dynamics of it, but it used to be able to mine mithril, platinum, and orichalcum nodes without any error. Recently (probably up to two weeks ago), I literally finished one of the mining picks while going at a rich mithril vein, depleted half way (got about 6 ore), then equipped my next master mining pick, and I got ore chunks. It hasn’t worked on anything higher than gold veins since.
I tried checking past patch notes but I didn’t see anything regarding this. I tried to interpret the item description but it just says that it is more effiecent at gathering (as opposed to what :O)
Anyone have any input?
I’ve found (and the gw2 wiki agrees) that different “Master Mining Picks” have different equivalences. So one MMP will be ori level, the next might be only darksteel level, etc.
Don’t know if this is how it’s supposed to work (it makes them essentially useless IMO since I’m not going to risk getting a ruined ore chunk on ori nodes) but it’s observed behavior.
