Ruined mats from orichalcum harvesting tools
Ruined occour in % when you been hit by mob.
I’m out of combat in one of the pictures there and I haven’t seen this problem before :/ maybe they upped the % of ruin chance or unlucky streak? either way I would have like to have know that before wasting the node. Any links with the %‘s or any info on this because there’s nothing about this written on the tools themselves or in the gathering tool page on the wiki
edited: probably was in combat still think they need to update the tool tip or something thank you Kerishan for your response

This problem has occurred rarely since launch for various people. I’ve had it happen out of combat. For a short time it happened a lot, even with black lion (more specifically especially with, and they fixed that bug)
It may or may not be intentional when in combat. Theory at the time I last looked into it was that going into combat draws weapon and that you essentially harvest without the tool causing it to be ruined (tool still takes use though.)
For a long time I didn’t understand it because I would routinely harvest even while in combat, and still do. Sad if the problem is recurring again.
