Mining Grade 5 Impossible after 1.18

[AlphaLion]

Mining grade 5 now is a nightmare (have tried Treespeak and Halatali only so far). Due to the fact that u now have to stay wihtin ur gather class - 3 mining nodes are nescessary (not 3 nodes of any type) it is also very much harder.

Treespeak: the north and the northeast is cluttered with hordes of R46+ beastmen. A node i saw was within aggro-range of 10 of these. I was able to get to 2 nodes but never a third.

Halatali: there are groups of R40+ Assassins in around half the cave areas and half the outside is filled with hordes of R40+ antlings. Not possible to find 3 nodes.

This makes the ranking of miner and possibly botanist impossible. I welcome the fact that beastmen tribes have been added, but there is enough room outside the node areas for those.

PLEASE CHANGE!!

Yes, there are dangers associated with the better nodes. This is unreasonable why?

Let's put Hostile NM's on top of your solo content and call it reasonable. You don't understand the differences between danger and impossible.

One or two mobs to clear off a node is no problem at all, don't get me wrong. This is just a bit too much, and even if u are R50 there is no way u can clear mobs to get to a node. You should go try it out urself.. ^^

ya you cant even kill them then mine as they respawn before you are finished

[AlphaLion]

Exactly, this is just what i meant. Just asking for repositioning of some of these mobs, then we can all be happy fighting and gathering

Been ranking in Camp Dragonhead area to cap mining just fine. I bet Iron Lake is still doable. Honestly Treespeak always gave me problems because of the damnable Gob NM, but I am sad to see Halatali lost now too.

Zephy, Iron lake got swarmed with raptors i believe

Welcome to Jurassic Park! (Raptors(TM) now included)

Seriously, the future of my miner/blacksmith/pugilist is sounding bleaker and bleaker by the moment.

I pointed this out in the other thread in general

Iron Lake is relatively safe to go to if you avoid the spot with the raptors

MOST of the nodes are in safe zones(granted i said MOST, not ALL)

for example, i mined all morning and didnt get attacked once....40k sp before i fatigued...so yeah, iron lake is good



also if your doing leves, hala is the place to do them, you can do them all safely there
