Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I am not sure if I missed something in the update notes recently regarding the Watchwork Mining Pick. I just wanted some clarification if it was indeed “nerfed” or just a bug. The Watchwork Mining Pick used to drop the sprockets relatively frequently when mining nodes. I would generally get one or two per node sometimes. However, now I might get one single sprocket after several nodes mined. Is this intended? I hope not. I just wanted to post here to check and see.

Thanks in advance for the response.

Could I possibly get an Anet employee response on this one. Thanks

I haven’t played since today’s patch, but after the 2/12 patch I have not noticed any change in the number of Sprockets obtained from mining. (And trust me, I mine a LOT.)

I’m not noticing a difference. RNG man.

I’ve never had this issue before and it’s a recurring one now so something is wrong.

I have 8 characters all with watchwork mining picks parked at a permanent rich node, and yesterday every one of them got 2-4 sprockets which is typical. So not a noticeable difference for me.

I haven’t noticed any difference with my Watchwork Mining Pick. Some days there are more, some less. But, over all through the months, it seems pretty consistent. And nothing noticeably different recently.

I still tend to get some sprockets now and then?

I’m not noticing any difference with mine. Same output as usual.

Its just RNG … when i harvest 60 ores i mostly have around 20 sprockets, but sometimes
its just 12 .. and other times over 25.
