Basically nothing’s changed? Damn, this game wants to be a 2nd job or something!
I was always able to farm ori ore on El Dorado by looping a few areas I know timers on. I think if you come back and feel it out, you will find a run that works for you.
I mean there are new nodes. If the price plummets far enough, or people start having a ton of excess you will see less people camp nodes.
It’s all about the gold per hour for ori nodes versus any other kind of resource. Economics. People will likely stop camping ori if there are good quantities available at decent prices.
Ori ore went up as far as 4g per ore, which is 32g per if you wanted to upgrade to ori ingot. Those days are most likely over with this change.
People will adjust their behavior to the fact that they should be able to purchase orichalcum ore without being price gouged to hell and back. Thus opening up nodes for those looking to farm it.
Might see more people do greenwood runs to make charcoal to sell. Given that ori and starmetal will see at least +70k additional Ores generated on the map per server per day (70k being a hypothetical number.)
There should be less of a bottleneck on Ori and Starmetal with the changes.
Here is a potential hot take. I dont think the vials of Azoth are gonna sky rocket in price like people think they will. A lot of people have been hoarding them, myself included.
out of 30 odd different timeless shards only 5 have any value. The rest are worth nothing.
I wish there was a shortage of timeless shards. I have acquired 500-1000 of each with 1g buyorders the last few months.
Ya I dont think azoth skyrockets either. 20 azoth is way too cheap for conversions. To convert my 30k quartz into 6k ironguardsman is only going to take like 2500 vials.
Instead of using vials I was planning to convert my 20 odd thousand by running OPR’s in-between.
I cashed out on all of my crafting components like iron guardsman insignias. I expect a huge dip in price post update.

Yeah I have almost 1k of azoth just from farming stuff
I just keep em for crafting. I remember selling either 60 or 30 pcs for 16k
Pricing on potions and coatings will probably go down a fair amount since you can get bonus items when crafting. I think on the PTR right now it’s 60% on coatings and 30% on potions.
That is not how you make money. It’s better to sell them all now for 340 a pop and buy more later for like 50 a pop.

Is that only for smelting/mining, or other refining/gathering aptitude crates as well?
I try and keep track of these changes by reading the PTR notes. Am I just not seeing it, and/or is there other website that more meticulously tracks these potential upcoming changes?
Talk about some serious RNG issues.
I think its all. Its in the PTR patch notes somewhere. List is too damn long for me to go through again. here is one of them though…
- Legendary refinement materials drop chances in aptitude boxes have been reduced
- Legendary refinement materials drop chances in gathering have been increased
- Skinning legendary refinement materials have been reduced
- Rarities on Legendary refinement and legendary materials have been adjusted so the refinement is epic and the refined materials are legendary.

yeah I have RNG issues everywhere. Always have. Although today I mined about 1200 ore and hit two nodes with Tolvium. I probably wont see that again for another week haha.

Are you wearing full mining luck, mining luck axe, mining trophies, mining food and pvp flagged? Because the ratio that you’re describing is basically what I see when I’m just PvP flagged. Although in all fairness, I’ve been getting all the tolvium and cinnabar that I need from aptitude crates, so I’ve been ignoring the mining luck stuff until yesterday, when I decided to see how many small quartz crystals I could farm in a couple hours. Didn’t even realize that my main mining axe didn’t have luck on it.
I have food, trophies, luck axe, and I flag pvp. I do not use the gear. I reread the notes and it sounds like they are increasing the drop chance from nodes though. It might balance out from not getting as many in the crates.
Yeah, looks like it will benefit you and hurt me, since I don’t mine a lot of ori anymore. Competing with campers is not my preferred method to play the game. I will hit veins as I pass by them in the Illurmin rift, but that’s about it. Most of my mining is platinum now… But that may change when there are more nodes with faster respawns. Although the faster respawns will help campers more. And people buying it, but not necessarily more casual miners like myself.
Hopefully the more nodes and faster respawn helps. Im lucky to be on a server that where I farm there isn’t really too many that camp the nodes. They just run around the route like I do. Different people there at different times of day. I get some, they get some. I spend probably two hours to get 1-2k ore. Some days I hit the spot at the right time and get about 800 ore just one go around.
