Right now, both miner and botanist are R47 with very good tools and gear. Post patch on grade 4 & 5 harvest nodes I'd estimate I'm faililng to harvest anything 25%-33% of the time. Anyone else having the same issue? I'm like a blinded mrd with a weathered axe lol.

Reverse holds true for me. Almost 100% on all nodes now.
Like someone else posted in the other thread, gathering is very simplified now. -

extremely easy actually :P All but fishing, that went down :( though, if your gear is even one level higher than you, thats the problem. Take a pic of your gear and we can see whats wrong ;)

Harvesting definitely gotten easier, even with the nerfed gears (ugh only hat, gloves and body for me now, others under optimal) etc. I have no problem gathering at G5 as lvl 35 BOT. They reduced a lot of items you can get from node, so it's easier to guess what item you are getting and where to strike for them now.

he is talking about with a scythe, everyones answers appear to be about main hand hatchet.
Yes harvesting does appear to be about 25%, but I dont find it too much of a change compared to before patch on this one. -
10-10-2011, 11:13 PMzzappThanks. Quite honestly, even though I'm R47 both DoL classes, I've spent 99% of my time getting there for the sake of getting there. I.E. - hardly focused on targeting a particular. Therefore, up until now, my experience with offhand tools has been extremely limited. As a matter of fact my miner I never quarried until R47 lol, and now it's mostly for dye I need. So it's very possible offhand success rates are not changed much in the patch. I will say, however, it seems rather lame that @ my rank with very good gear I can whiff 3 times in a row, etc. on both grade 4/5 nodes. I guess it is what it is.Quote:

Dyes seems to have a much higher failure rate than other harvested materials, at least from my experience.

OK, this really needs to be fixed >< I'm 48 Botanist and just went to a grade 4 harvesting area for dye, and proceeded to whiff 6/8 times. I have the very best gear, and my rank in this area gives me 18 xp per successful logging attempt. Why such a lame success rate on harvesting? This is so annoying, and I don't want to hear that dye is such a high level and thus the failure rate, my god, I'm two levels from game cap. >< Please fix this.

"I have the very best gear"
use lvl 50 gear at lvl 48 = no bonus from gear
i can easily do grade 5 as lvl 25 botanist now so most likely its either extremely bad luck or the optimal stuff on your gear. both optimal thingies is green right? (class and level) -

I haven't gotten that high level yet. All my off-hand gatherings yield good result and hardly miss. But maybe it's because I'm lower level and harvesting at lower grades node.

Just out of curiosity zzapp, was this rank 4 harvest node in Humblehearth? I noticed there is a specific node (where Sirrocco is) that has a very low success rate compared to other nodes in the same zone.

I had a similar problem the other night. Rank 20 mining, wearing the level 17 dated DoL set (straw hat, jacket, work gloves, culottes, and workboots, don't remember exact names of the items, but all are optimal 17). Tried quarrying in Camp Bearded Rock for some dye. A level 20, in appropriate gear, on a rank 1 node, and I failed 6 out of the 8 attempts. WTF SE?

Level 50 BTN at Bloodshore with current and up to date gear and a +1 Off Hand missed 7 of the 8 harvests on 5 different nodes within an hour. Either that is severely unlucky, or something is amiss.

I've noticed this with all 3 secondary gatherings. But it seems to be completely random. Sometimes I miss just once or twice over awhile, then sometimes I'll miss 6 out of 7 attempts on a node.

I agree. Even at lvl 1 nodes, the secondary tools have quite a high failure rate. There is definitely something wrong here.
