concealed nodes

[Alisi]

Is there any rhyme or reason why some of the concealed nodes pop up SO FAR away? This seems to be a botanist thing, in my limited experience so far. Why is this? Why do they pop up so far away that even your little 'find the nearest node' will give you the next group of two nodes rather than the concealed one?

It makes no sense. I just wasted a favor trying to find the freakin' concealed node. it was soooooo far away. >.<'

I hate favor gathering thus far. T.T

Am I weird to find Favors fun?! Planning and speed. It all gives me a rush! Making a little mini game.

So, put up your Way Markers so you won't loose your way.

Prep node to final hit. Prepare 4 nodes.

Pop that Favor! Sprint, fly, and don't loose your direction.

When concealed node pops, always pops next to you. Only hit rare. Skip the clusters.

Good Luck!

BTN is annoying -- all the MIN ones pop in close locations, and have very minimal mobs to dodge. But BTN... ugh. SoC Birch Log option, conceal nodes so far away. Churning Mists, the one up on the ledge. Hinterlands all the stupid crawlers, etc

I know! I'm trying around 22, 13-ish area in sea of clouds for btn. It seemed better than the place with the birch logs but there are mobs and the concealed nodes pop up so far away. >.>; It's so weird how BTN and MIN are so different. They're essentially the same thing but MIN is so much easier in so many ways.

I was about to say "they're always nearby for me" but I realized I've never done a BTN one... are they really that far away from the nodes? That's awful D:

Yeah. It's like you can't even use Lay of the Land because they tend to be farther away from the two you're at then the next group of two. You'll just get redirected to the next two nodes. >.>; BTN nodes are already farther away than MIN ones. Why do they have us having to cross half the freakin' map to get to the concealed ones? BTN concealed ones tend to only get like 2 of the rares per favor used. Biggest part of that is because the distances are so much bigger for BTN.

I hear we're gar. one node for each favor in the next patch. That's probably solely for BTN (though they won't admit that.)

That was 3.1 IIRC. It was stated in the patch notes.

But it means you are guaranteed 5 hand ins per Red Gathering Token (seeing as you get 5 Favors per Token).

Can you please repeat that in a way that's more clearly stated?

Before favors start with depleting 4 nodes to one hit (not all six or they reset).
Set up flags and stuff so you know where the nodes are (they always appear in the same spots so I don't do this but hey if you need to)
Consume favor, sprint and fly between the nodes. Those first four depleted should go first,
Once you pop a concealed node just get the rare favor items, you don't have to deplete the concealed node.
Good luck!
