concealed nodes

[Roth_Trailfinder]

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

Fly to node area. Pick two of the pairs. Hit both members of both pairs so that you are 1 away from completely depleting the node. Activate the Favor, clear those 4 nodes first, then work on clearing the third pair and going in the cycle.

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

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.

For comparison with miner -- only one? concealed node that I can think of requires flying to get to after popping in (Sea of Clouds), and only one aggro mob (Hinterlnads). For BTN all three of the Birch Logs SoCs require flying elevation/long distance, and one of the Churning Mists. One of the CWH is far enough removed to be obnoxious and right next to a mob. Hinterlands is reasonable full of aggro, Forelands is probably the best of the btn ones...

I hate favor gathering thus far. T.T

thats why i usally let ppl gathering it for me ^^ always looking for ppl who do it for me =)
because i am lazy for, if you count you get 9 red scripts per week and each give you 5x 5 min Favor thats makes 3:45 h without counting the prepare time of the node and also didnt count the time you need each week to collect the red scripts ^^

I never run favors on those nodes, I use the other 6 L60 nodes in Sea of Clouds, over at (21-13) by the Groundskeepers.
Usually my wife rides shotgun (taking out the groundskeepers) while I run the nodes.

Yeah, that's where I seemed to have more luck too. It's still a painful area. That one, single group of nodes that spawns the only concealed node that's near the normal nodes has that stupid Groundkeeper sitting on it. It's sad that the emph node that spawns is closer to the nodes than the spot where that shared concealed node spawns.

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!

Im glad i wasnt the only one that learned how to master favors. Hi5

You have a good system going! Once I get more of my gear crafted, I'm probably going to lean that way too. I'm getting there! Just made mah 170 LW HQ offhand. /very proud XD!!

Mind numbing and hard aren't the same thing. They aren't hard to master. They are just a drag at times. But I'm the kind of gatherer who likes to make tons of mini-breaks to do other things while gathering. XD I generally stealth or afk in the air every round or two. You can't do that with a favor going.

No they aren't, lol. I just remember trying to explain prepping nodes(or priming, as I first called it) to some friends and they didn't understand at all. With me I'll probably reach a goal like 20 bladeleaf or 30 then move on for the time being. I don't think favors are bad at first, just after 10 in a row when it becomes a bother =_=
