Willing to buy a Thief to stealth me while I harvest...

noooooo, my orichalcum D:

Sigh, I knew it wouldn't last long. Parked all my low-lvl characters there, finally a use for those Black Lion pickaxes... No idea why Anet has such a "You're not allowed to make money"-mentality. It's already hard enough to maneuver low level characters there.

Edit: Ah, no matter. If you stand on the wooden beam next to the ore vein, you can mine it and the Karka won't attack you. If it has already targeted you, get on the beam and switch to character selection for a second.



Watch out for other players though, if it attacks those, you might get hit by the AoE.

Inb4 nerf.

And it is a problem for it to be hard to maneuver low level characters in a LEVEL 80 zone?
How easy is it to maneuver a low level character in Cursed Shore?

So hard that the ore nodes don't require additional guards.

[Lordkrall]

All (or at least most) Rich nodes are protected by guards though. Why should this be any different?

[madmaxII]

I thought they would remove the rich orichalcum vein after the lost shores event. The patch notes sound like we get it permanently at a fixed location. Nice!

[JunoGuts]

Killed a few champions yesterday and got zero loot!
I bet they forgot to add that patch!

True, a thief or mesmer can be useful to help people.stealth near the node.

I love my Snow Leopard form ^ ^. My necro can sneak behind just fine.

Thats what i've noticed with alot of rich ore nods. It shouldnt be different any yet.

[Kymeric]

They forgot to include:

* Thought about rolling back LoS changes that cause half of Mesmer's clones to fail until we could figure out how to make the fix work without crippling Mesmers, but decided to just leave it until the big December update.

I just did it, the ori is still farmable if no one is around or you can get someone to hit and target them for a bit while you are mining for it. =P

Dude... how are you level 38 but somehow using a mining pick that requires you to be level 60?

I assume those Black Lion pickaxes mentioned on the very post you just quoted might be the answer
