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. >.<'

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 ^^

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!!

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

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 =_=

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!

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

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!


...is what she was saying

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.
