2400*8 = 19200
28000-19200= 8800
8800/8 = 1100 trees that you have done :P thats 5500 minutes = 91 hours = 3.8 full days of playing. seeing as patch came out 4 days ago i can in no way see a human being doing this rofl.

chances are starlord has only done 1 region....thinking that was enough

ima poke her when we get in game and bug her about it

it's 375 trees per area assuming you get a full 8 attempts at each (grade 5 of course)

That's what I assumed she thought too but I was just going to let reality hit after she talked to the NPC. X) ("What? Where's my hatchet?! D'=")

Actually...getting the golden axe first would be more realistic for me since I can actually tolerate DoL

your math is off

its 500 trees(gathering needs 4000 hits, not 3000)

Well I have other things Occupying my life or I would have 1 region done.. and besides seeing 1 area for 20 hours is like stabbing my heart with a dagger! LOL

40 on btn 39 on wvr, so yeah i'm starting now, looks like each achievement is how much it should take to get out of that level range.

Yeah, you have to ONLY do trees though for that theory to be correct and each tree @ a level range is about 375 exp on avg. G4 is about 70k 2000 attempts *375 (exp)= 750,000 exp thats alot of room for your level range you be heading towards G5 and still doing G4 trees because you need that achievement. not only that you need to do this X3 ( 1 for each region) so 750,000 *3= 2,250,000 exp Yeah.. so I don't think it was made for a level range

for crafting its more accurate(depending on the recipes you choose can affect this majorly)

for gathering not so much
actualy, its IMPOSIBLE to get this done by the time you git 50 gathering

I already have the gold.

http://images.wikia.com/zelda/images..._Cartridge.png

I want to, but I'm not going to work at it (aggressively) anytime soon. And if/when they lose relevance due to newer higher level tools being added and whatnot, I won't flare up. It's something to be expected, after all. I see it as a collectable. :P

on a side note

gathering fatigue still does exist

and yes, i have really been out that long gathering

lol I am aware of that. SE never did say they removed it. :P

But what I meant by aggressively, was doing it everyday for as long as I can bear. I usually never hit heavy fatigue before I stop for the day.

if you like it that much this just gives you a side goal while doing it at least, kinda like what im doing

Unfortunately for me most of my crafting levels are too high for me to want to go back and redo them for these items. DoL items are a possibility, if I can ever figure out the best way to work the mini games but at the moment it is not a major concern. These sets of Achievements appear to be better suited for new player just starting out.

theres a trick to the dol games having to do with durability

like at bloodshore with mining

if its a really short/semi short dura, i go halfway to the middle
if its a decent length durability, i go halfway from middle to outer ring
if its a long long dura, i go to the halfway to inner ring spot again

and its a 100% first hit success

youll learn the spots after a little work at each camp

Does Chopped Damaged Goods effect the Gathering Achievements?

the achievment for gathering is for attempts, not successes

so yes, you can still do it through fatigue

As a level 50 Miner I will not be actively going for it. I see NO reason to. I already DID all the grunt work! Why in the name of jeebus do I want to do it all over again?

Nope. I will mine for profit and if eventually I get it so be it.

actualy, you can get them while mining for profit

grade 3 gives you all those nice tier 2 gems that sell for 20k+ each
grade 4/5 will give you all the bigger items that crafters want for endgame

grade 1-2 take so little time that even though they may suck for profit, youll have them done quick

I'm sure if they increase level cap more achievement rewards will be made available. Maybe in order to get future achievements you will have to complete current achievements. Something along the lines of you must obtain the gold rod before you can obtain the platinum rod! (level 65);D

I don't think I'll be *actively* going for it. The way I saw it, it was a lifestyle choice.

I'll still need lots o' iron for armorsmithery and blacksmithery since it looks like it's in lots of recipes.
Not too interested in goldsmithing, but in my quest for mythril, the silver is going to come my way.
And cobalt to follow.

If I do see the grade 5 mining achievement for a region, I probably would consider dropping a grade in that region. But do not think I would forcefully start with lower grades just yet.

This confirmed? Don't really want to do 1000 fatigue fails and have it not count.
