The Nightmare of All Miners

Recommended Posts

72517-zaralek-cavern-dragonriding-glyph-
 

Miners and herbalists have had one giant issue for the past many, many years as they would fly or ride in to get that lovely node or herb, only to have it fade out of existence the moment they start harvesting it. Well today we might just have the pinnacle of that particular sharding problem, as WarsongNr had an extremely nightmarish mining experience.

It's difficult to explain just how frustrating this is if you haven't run into it (although if you ever used mining or herbalism, you definitely have), as it's hard not to take it personally when a node sees you coming and then elects to dissipate out of existence rather than have you harvest it. However, this particular example is very extreme and I never ran into anything close to this in 19 years of harvesting. It's also pretty hilarious when it's not happening to you, so WarsongNr, we salute and thank you!

It's right up there with skynodes and rocks for the Are You Kitten Me? WQ being buried so far in the mount you can't grapple them.

When Uldum was new I encountered this with herbs quite a bit.

Also in the hill caves at the shore near Lunarfall (WoD) there's a chest you have to sneak up on from the right side of the map shard border.   I've seen one like that in Highmountain too.

So 3 nodes (in very close proximity) that someone else likely harvested 5 minutes ago finally despawned one after the other? Yeah, not a bug, not an issue, that's just how it works. If I knew this was news, I would have been recording the other day when I had 15+ disappear on me in < 30 minutes. 🙄

its been an issue for many many years so... what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The weirdest thing is seeing a 'ball' of ore floating in the sky. Only for you to not find a ledge to mine it from.

Herbs have been somewhat fine but Ore... Ore is Chaotic evil in this game.

After 10.1 release a lot of nodes are attached to inaccessible places. Especially with damn stupid dragonriding.

It's a real bummer when you use the node overload and it despawns before you can collect and or mine off the node 😕  had that happen at least 5x while on my Evoker during DF.

A lot of the time, I've seen this when someone is doing a multibox gathering setup. They have several toons all together that all come in and mine the node. Nodes only have 10 "charges" to be mined, so if someone comes in with their 10 druids, they can nuke each node in turn out of existence. I've seen that less this xpac, since it's much harder to multiboxers to keep a bunch of dragons flying together than it is for them to keep a bunch of druids in flight form together.

      If you haven't completed your 2/4 set bonuses yet, you will gain access to a new Catalyst charge this week. All you have to do is head to Antuka at 59 53 in Thaldraszus/Tyrhold. There's also an intro quest in Valdrakken for the first charge, but I'm not sure if there's one for the second charge too, so I'm highlighting the exact location here.

      Third charge: Week of December 12. Fourth charge: Week of December 26. Fifth charge: Week of January 9. Sixth charge: Week of January 23.

      The World First Mythic Fyrakk kill triggered Fyr'alath to start dropping in the whole region next reset and in our latest post, we're looking at how to get the Legendary weapon!
      Fyr'alath the Dreamrender will start dropping on live servers starting with the weekly reset, but the Legendary Axe comes in different stages and effects.
      The initial legendary consumable drops from Fyrakk. Apparently, it has an increased drop chance on higher difficulties. Once equipped, players will be overwhelmed with shadowflame (Fyr'alath the Dreamrender) and must embark on a questline to unlock the item level 500 Legendary axe.
      The axe comes with two effects (please note the placeholder values):
      Rage of Fyr'alath - Unleash the Rage of Fyr'alath to charge towards your target and swing repeatedly, dealing 0 Shadowflame damage over 3 sec to all who would stand in your way. (Instant, 25 yd range, 2 min cooldown) Fyr'alath the Dream Render - Your attacks apply Mark of Fyr'alath, dealing 0 Shadowflame damage over 15 sec. Upon activation, Fyr'alath draws in the flames from all marks to increase its damage by 10%. Upon equipping the consumable that drops from Fyrakk, you will receive a quest and must visit a Shadowflame expert named Eadweard Dalyngrigge, located in Thaldraszus who will tell you to gather 3 components to withstand the heat so you can equip the weapon. This is very similar to the Evoker Legendary Questline.
      You must get the following items obtainable from professions/crafting:
      Erden's Glowspore Grip (Leatherworking) Lydiara's Binding Rune (Inscription) Shalasar's Sophic Vellum (Enchanting) However, they are to as easy to get as you may think...
      To craft Erden's Dreamleaf Grip, you will need:
      400 Zaralek Glowspores 3 Obsidian Cobraskin 5 Dreaming Essence 50 Mireslush Hide 1 Prototype Dreamleaf Grip To receive 1 Prototype Dreamleaf Grip, you must gather 200 Shadowed Dreamleaves from Superblooms. 
      The next item you will need is Lydiara's Binding Rune. This requires:
      10 Shadowflame Essence 250 Cosmic Ink 50 Runed Writhebark 1 Prototype Binding Rune You must collect 50 Taut Tethercoils from Emerald Dream Rares to receive 1 Prototype Binding Rune. This isn't a 100% drop rate, so this quest may take a while to complete.
      The final item is Shalasar's Sophic Vellum. Crafting it requires the following reagents:
      150 Awakened Fire 100 Awakened Earth 50 Awakened Order 200 Resonant Crystal 1 Prototype Order Vellum Finally, you must gather 20 Radiant Flecks of Ash from powerful gear with Ashen Dowsing Rod. Basically, you're disenchanting Season 3 gear for quest items here. Once you've accrued 20 pieces, you will get 1 Prototype Order Vellum.
      Once you have all 3 items, you can presumably wield the Legendary Axe, but nobody has obtained it yet on live servers, so there may be some additional steps and quests that we haven't covered here.
