just found this thought yas might like to know
Especially you Val lol
Hi everyone,
My apologies for the belated response! There’s been a lot of confusion surrounding these changes, so while dev posts have been made in other threads, I’ll try to answer questions here as well.
We made some changes to the respawn timers on the resource nodes so that they only respawn once per day. This happens based on our server time at 00:00 UTC, which is 5:00pm PDT and 4:00pm PST, not based on when you last harvested them, which may be why some of you think you are seeing varying respawn rates.
In that sense, the patch notes may seem confusing as they state:
Ancient wood, Orichalcum Ore, and Mithril Ore nodes respawn rate is now tied directly to characters
What this means is that mining the same node is characater based, not account based, so you could mine the same resource node with multiple characters on the same account.
These changes were made for the same reasons that we made changes to butter; and as Jon Peters has previously mentioned, we’ve gotten to a point where we’re aware that this update was too harsh and we will try to increase the supply of these resources again soon.
If you’re seeing different behavior from what I’ve outlined here, then please let us know so that we can investigate further. Thank you!
