Ore nodes respawn faster than other node?

Milvan

Hello comrades

First of all has been some long time since I don't farm mats for my daily writs (I build up some nice stock last year and maintained it with surveys and roaming around questing).

So, yesterday I finally went to some gathering. I went to my usual route in Hew's Bane and after a while I realized that ores respawn much faster than the other nodes (like 3 to 1). Is this always been like this? I really can't remember. Or it's a new thing because of jewelry craft?

I don't know the numbers, but as someone who farms a ton I've noticed ore has always respawned faster since I started playing (about 2 years ago).

It does seem a bit faster since summerset, especially when the jewelry node spawns, I may be imagining that though

I think because of jewel crafting, people have been harvesting ore nodes more than the others. This is causing them to respawn faster. Sorta like when you're in a delve with a lot of players and the respawn rate of mobs is increased.

It's the new seam nodes. People, especially on the starter islands, have figured out patterns to harvest them in quantity.

I've actually added new friends because of it as we "fight" over the nodes the second they appear.

Funny community.

I don't think they spawn faster, so much as they are being farmed faster (due to 1/2 ore , 1/2 jewelry seam).

Since the zone is set up to have so many active nodes of a certain kind at any given point, it leads to the appearance of a lower cooldown.

Oh boy some players have become toxic. More than usual. For the most if a player sees u fighting next to a node they will wither move on or help fight a littl and not take the node. Holy hexk get tied up for 3 seconds and 2 players will fight over then start on chat lol
