Guild Wars 2

I run the Obisdian Sanctum jumping puzzle in WvW for the Orichalcum (nearly daily atm) as much as I do for the chest at the end there. Two times this week I have been ‘lucky’(?) enough to find a Rich Orichalcum vein. However both times now I have only gotten the first single cycle and then it shows as used and I can’t get anymore. Both times each 3 orichalcum ore. Haven’t ever run into rich node problems before but this one twice in a row. Anyone else having this problem in there? Just wondering how wide spread this is, also just posting this so anet knows this has been a recurring for me. (reported it in-game bug the first time) The first time this happened I went back in with a different character back to the rich node since it was close to the start that time and tried to mine it, same thing happened with only one cycle through and 3 ore. Haven’t tried it this time with a second character, but I assume the same thing would occur.

Thanks for your time.

Certain maps have a limit on Rich Nodes. If you have already mined a Rich Node elsewhere, they will only give 3 strikes. This may be happening in that instance, I don’t know.

Good luck.

With the rich ori veins it’s a chance for more, not a guarantee of more, so not getting extra isn’t a bug but the way it’s designed. You still only get 3 strikes

Rich Orichalcum Vein
“A Rich Orichalcum Vein has a higher chance to reward x2 Orichalcum Ore per hit for 3 hits.”

@Just a flesh wood
ah, well huh, that’s strange that ori is different then the rest on that. Just assumed it was the same with how the nodes acted.

Thanks for the info and clear up you two.

Yeah, since Rich Orichalcum Veins were nerfed they behave this way. People were camping the known spawn-points with too many characters.
