Which is fine, if you are a PvPer. For people like me, who hate PvP (and are also horrendously bad at it), any attempt I would make to farm the TV stones I need would simply result in my farming them for the first person to gank me. No thanks.Outside of the Imperial City, I may have seen a Repora and or Itade potency rune maybe once in Wrothgar. I personally think the best bet of obtaining these are through the Tel Var Stone merchant in the Imperial City.
This isn't the thread to debate the TV stone system, but for people like me who feel it's an abomination of a system, and refuse to get involved, we need another way to reliably acquire V16 mats. As it stands, V16 glyphs are basically "for PvP players only."
Nodes will despawn after like 10 minutes if they've been triggered by a player but not emptied. This was put in a recent patch not too long ago and I've personally seen one despawn in front of me too.Since nodes don't respawn if not emptied, most blue nodes are kura/kude.
Nodes only or chests as well? Could you point me to the patch notes where this was specified?
