Guild Wars 2

I’ve come across so many of these while playing and I have yet to find these particular veins worthy of being titled “RICH”.

All I ever get is 3 of whatever the ore is when I find one. In fact, I can find more ore and gems within the ‘normal’ veins than I could hope to find in a ‘rich’ vein.
It would be logical that a ‘rich’ vein should actually produce consistently more ore and possibly a gem or 2 every time you come across one, but this is never the case for me.

So… I’m assuming this must be a game bug… right? Which means that this should be fixed, hopefully

You do know that you mine a rich vein multiple times, not just once, right?

So I can stand there and mine it multiple times one after another consecutively then without having to leave and come back to it? If that’s the case I was not aware of this… thanks so much for the enlightenment, Jink

On a rich ore I average anywhere from 12-15 of whichever metal it is. In my experience, the original ore turns black when I’ve gotten everything from it. Hope this helps ya!!

Indeed, you only get 3 ores from each node at a time, but the rich nodes allow you to harvest several times before becoming unusable.

Thanks for all the help and info… didn’t know this. Thought it was a bug, glad it was my own ignorance (blush) and not the game
