Exploding Minning nodes - why?

I don’t understand why this is considered a fun and engaging way to mine ore. First, you can’t trick it, you can’t control it, all you can do is hope to not get hit. If you get hit of a cliff, then fly up to find the node gone -Oh…my…lawd no he didn’t.

Anyway, these types of nodes suck. They sucked in Dragon Flight, they suck now.

At least in DF, they were a risk/reward type scenario since they dropped specific mats. There were also profession talents that made them easier to manage (i.e. gather while mounted so you wouldn’t fall to your death). I would guess it’s likely the same in TWW.

“Hi imma just stand here, blow me up!”

Node go boom

Holds A for half a second

whatchu talkin bout willis

you think the Ez mine nodes suck now oh just wait…when you overcharge them you create a huge stick of dynamite and if you’re still in the radius when it goes off it’s insta death. Your corpse even goes up in smoke as when I got caught in one it didn’t even leave a corpse behind till i ran back to my body. If you overcharge it mine the node quick and back away otherwise you and the node going up in smoke, quite a twisted idea they’ve done honestly

If you overload an EZ node it will toss lots of random ores and a big boom so you mine as much as you can then run for it before it kills you.

You gotta level your mining up. Pretty sure you need more Deftness, to gather faster. Or is that Finesse? Judging by the meanings I would wager I am correct in saying you need more Deftness stat. They have some potions for that now. Or flask. Whatever, its a drinky bottle thingy you can buy off the ah or make with your alchemist.

Somebody tried to blow me up a few days ago by empowering the exploding mines. Whatever it’s called. It makes a huge red circle instead of multiple ones. I was mining the node, and she flew in, empowered it, and left! Be careful out there. People love seeing others blow up on these things.

they should have just made it explode into chunks you could just mine safely afterwards

sounds cool how do i do it tho, how to overload it

You should have an overload ability in your book. If you don’t see it under general try K and look under crafting tabs.

It’d be okay if the nodes produced more ore or better quality ore but they don’t. I just ignore them now.
