I’ve seen some posts about rich veins not being rich in that they only get 3 mines before becoming unusable.

I noticed this yesterday with a rich platinum vein. I only got 3 hits off it. Something is wrong here!

and after only 3 hits, u dont get the option to Mine it anymore, and the Rich node changes its appearance to destroyed/fully mines ?!

Sorry to ask the obvious, but with Rich nodes, u have to Mine it a few times.
I only farmed Copper sofar, so i can only refer to those nodes.
My experience is, when u choose Mine, u get 3 hit animations, and 3 salvages.
The Rich node can give 10 salvages, so u have to choose Mine 3 more times.
The 4th time is funny, cos after the first hit animation the Rich node gets (and should look) depleted but u still see 2 more hit animations.

Most of the rich ones have no problems. But i came across few ones.

Also the cooldown is not 1 day. Less than half day even orichalcums

I’ve had similar problems with rich ore veins not allowing me to mine more than the first 3. The veins would then turn into a “used” ore vein. I’ve had this problem with most “Rich” Mythril veins and some Rich iron and platinum veins though I haven’t tried a Rich Orichalcum vein yet. Also yes, they do have a once a day respawn per character, another thread one of the mods said the resource nodes respawn once a day at the server’s “new day” sort of thing. He said it generally happens around 4:00PM PST.
I’m a n00b when it comes to these forums so here’s what he said
“We made some changes to the respawn timers on the resource nodes so that they only respawn once per day. This happens based on our server time at 00:00 UTC, which is 5:00pm PDT and 4:00pm PST, not based on when you last harvested them, which may be why some of you think you are seeing varying respawn rates.” -Jason King via Rapid Response Embed

Yes, I’m aware rich nodes require multiple interactions. The nodes in question destroy after the first attempt (3 mines).
