Guild Wars 2

I keep mining ruined plant fiber or ruined ore chunks. This is even though I am using a Orichalcum pickaxe and logging axe. Is anyone else having this issue? I have lost about 4 omnomberry plants, 2 orichalcum ore veins, 1 cypress sapling, and 3 mithril ore veins, even though I have used the orichalcum equipment, it is getting really frustrating

If you get hit in the face while mining there is a high chance you will get distracted and ruin your ore.

Kill mobs before you mine or take the risk.

This usually happens when you are in combat. Make sure you are not getting hit during harvesting, mining or chopping.

Edit: Slow.

ok cool thanks guys

This has happened to me while “not” in combat. But I also noticed that the game occasionally thinks I’m in combat when I’m not, wont let me use waypoints and such and wonder if it is related.
