Taking Out the Garbage

Riswa

Often I go to harvest jute and there is only a worm (worms sell for 30g a piece) or I open a chest and find only the unwanted items or I harvest a rune node and find someone else's unwanted runes. I typically take all the items and throw away the trash and keep the goodies so the item respawns. But now I am wondering do I need to clean up after other people. Do the resources, nodes, chests, etc. respawn just as quickly if they are only partially looted? I would love to know.

I thought it might be good manners to fully loot chests, etc. and take out the garbage. But I am only assuming. I would like to give those coming behind me the best chances to get a resource or chest.

    They eventually reset but i'm pretty sure it takes longer if they're only partially looted.

    I also always take everything and later weed out the trash in my inventory. Really not any more work that way.

    I don't think there is anything like "good manners" in looting chests or resources. Everyone take what they need, leave what they feel is trash to them.
    I also pick such almost empty chests or the worms, but this is only rare issue and rather funny than a case for complaining :).

    Man I love finding worms in nodes. I do a lot of fishing, so I'm like JACKPOT when I find jute and worms in the same spot

    Me and @lordrichter did some testing few months ago in previous PTS. Partially looted nodes usually respawn in about ten minutes with some variation. Details here and few posts around it.

    Great answer helediron! This info should be supplied by Zenimax PERIOD. Zenimax - Making gamers figure out basics that give no advantage is RUDE. But you probably never thought about that did you? If it is like helediron wrote it IS RUDE not to clean out something you open. Doing that is selfish and not thinking of other players. Saving yourself 1 second which denies someone else something for 15 minutes is selfish. Any rationalization for being selfish as being good manners is child-like. Lets be adults. NAH. All for ME.
