Guild Wars 2

The title says it all ;(

Having this issue with the mining pick. Can’t mine anything above Silver Ore without it ruining it. Still occasionally gives me gems of the correct quality of the node, but the ore is always ruined =(.

Actually, a friend of mine said yesterday that he couldn’t mine Orichalcum with his.
I could with mine without a problem.

same, it becomes ruined at some times like 1/3 is ruined

still getting this as of 12/14/12. I used a Master Axe on Orrian wood in Cursed Shore. 3 ruined logs as a result.

I’ve noticed this too, especially when I’m in combat …
Maybe character switches so weapon instead of axe/pick during the combat sometimes so it detects it as lvl 0 axe/pick and gives you ruined ore/wood

After experiencing this with the Master Mining ax a while back, I stopped using the master set. I felt that it was a problem because there is no level requirement listed on the tool tip which indicated to me that it was a random…and “good luck” on tries.

I now only use harvesting equipment for the appropriate zone level. I do wish there was only one set of harvesting equipment that gave you a level appropriate wack as you leveled your character. I hate to carry around so many different level types.

This problem has been around for a while. I’ve just destroyed all my Master ax/pick/sickle(s). They are just totally unreliable and ending up with ruined ore instead of orichalcum really ruins your day.

the level of your Master Tool is the lvl at wich your character receives it, if you receive it in your late lvls it will be able to mine orichalcum, but if you use a master pickaxe you got from mainquest lvl 20, it wont do anything.

Yep, Nyamo is right.

The master tool recieved as part of the story mode only mines/harvests things which are expected for you to harvest at the level of the story mode. Bottom line, use it up while you can in low level areas or junk them after you get them.

Well that is interesting. I never knew that. I certainly would have remembered it had it been announced somewhere. The tool tip doesn’t even state the level you received it at. So, if this assumption is correct, that should be the level showing on the tool tip.
