concealed nodes

[AskaRay]

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).

Still prolly because of BTN. Some favors I only got one or two concealed nodes. >.>;

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

I do it like this:

1) There's usually one group of two that's farther away that then others. I go and put a flag there. I choose which route I'm going to go and the use '/waymark' to put them on the highest viable point that's around them. This makes it so you can just look around you and go. The flag thing was something I developed in Churning Mists with the botanist. I haven't really needed it for mining but I just keep it up.
2) Go and exhaust the first two sets of nodes until there is one left in each.
3) start favor and go at it. The concealed nodes stay up, even after the favor is finished, so you can go back and collect the clusters if you wish.

Exhausting the first 4 is just a time saver. /shrug Sometimes if felt useless.
