Black Lion Mining Pick & tools

I really doubt that they would intentionally mislead and lie to us to make money. In the end that would have the opposite effect once people figured it out. Plus, I don’t believe you can buy these from the bltc. I got both of them as rewards from either chest or quest (can’t remember).

Does anyone else know? How about you anet? Any response to this? What are these tools supposed to be used for? I frequently find that the wiki isn’t very detailed….

I posted this in the players helping players section and after 150 views nobody had anything to say, I think that says something about the general confusion about these tools. I don’t know if they’re bugged or what. I’ve used 2 of them (50 gathers total) all on orichalcum ores and haven’t received any rare materials or any extra ore. What gives?

From the wiki:

“Extremely efficient at gathering resources and uncovering rare components. "

It has done nothing that a normal orr pick wouldn’t do…. 3 ore from each node.

Clarifying Fine Mats Drop Levels

So the other day I was like.. hmm I need to farm some heavy bone & other tier 4 fine mats for my crafting…. But crap… where do I find those? It’s not so easy to distinguish what level monsters you should be farming for a given tier of items or mats. I looked all over the wiki to no avail. However.

6 tiers. 80 levels. 80/6= 13.3 levels a tier

So approx
Tier 1: 1-13
Tier 2: 14-27
Tier 3: 28-40
Tier 4: 41-53
Tier 5: 54-67
Tier 6: 68-80

Is this right?
