I just did all my woodworker surveys, refined 1.4k logs, got absolutely nothing.

Ceejengine · March 2021

I have all max craft skills + CP perks. I just finished up my Woodworking Surveys and headed over to Vivec City to get my refine done for mats. I just received literally nothing. My logs were consumed and I gained nothing.

I know I'm screwed and there's no help coming. Just a heads up to everyone else. Be careful. If you need to bulk refine, do it in small chunks. Do NOT do all 1k+ at once.

I had an inkling that something was screwed up with refining when I came back with 2.1k platinum dust to refine. I refined it all at once and got 20ish bars, a couple green and blue dust (didn't pay attention to numbers on those) but only got 2 zircon grains and 0 chromium.

At the time I wrote it off as JC having super low drop rates. But now I'm able to confirm that mass-refine is broken.

Please just be careful.

Thanks,
Ceej

Maybe a silly question, but did you slot Meticulous Dissasembly on your Champion Bar and have your skill points replaced in the extraction passives?

Not getting anything from the logs seems very bugged, though.

RNG. If you refine 1000 platinum and roll a 1 you aren't going to get any chromium, so do it in small batches to even the odds.

The wood does sound bugged though

It's definitely got to be a bug. I farmed all of my surveys over the last few days and refined close to 4K wood in one batch. Got a ton of resources and improvement mats.

Highly suspect OP did get decon mats.

The issue is the floating popup message saying X, Y, Z received doesn't come up sometimes when decon a large number of mats. Not sure if a bug, buffer filled up, or whatever - but mats are always there in craft bag (or inventory if no bag. Just the lack of msg makes ppl think didn't get anything.

Second reason is if you decon right after doing writs, a common action for many, the spam of writ reward messages will sometimes hide the decon msg - like above, not sure if a bug or the buffer being filled up, but very common to not get any decon message at all when you just recently got a lot of writ reward spam messages.

I've refined 220k+ mats since 3/8 (PC launch of FoA) and have had no issues. All done with "mass" refine.

File this under user error.

Either forgetting to put skill points back in. Failing to slot Meticulous Disassembly, etc...

I refined 1k iron ore and got 11 alloy, seem fine to me.

Messages I receive from results of refining, deconing, harvesting, looting &whatever are quite flakey. It's not rare to have some or all stuff which should be there missing from messages but still getting into my inventory.

(However I've had once some Pulverized Dibellium vanish in void without any result from refining. At the time I assumed it was because my crafter - who did have JC 50 and full points on all JC passives - had not yet researched that trait.)

vgabor · March 2021

Refining result are flaky like hell, sometimes good but sometimes abysmally crap. I always do a small batch of 100-150 first and only do the mass refining if the extracted results are good on the small batch. If the small batch yield crap I leave it there and try next day.

I've refined about 80k wood last week (after update, 10k (max) a time) and got the appropriate number of mats (including tempers).

Sounds like a log in error

I've had this happen a couple times so far this patch as well.

Crafting and addons has been really buggy since the patch. At one NPC vendor my max level GMC will have mats in her inventory show up as redded out, like she can't use them, when selling to that NPC, and then I take her to another NPC, and they are normal again. I had to stop using Advanced Filters and anything related to it because it made items being sold not show up as sold and nothing show up as buy back. No matter how many times I refreshed my UI it didn't fix itself. I had to completely get rid of Advanced Filters...But I am getting used to not using it.
