Having done both over the last few weeks, I can’t help but notice how substantially worse herbing feels right now over mining. Two main issues:
- Far lower yield
- Persistently lower quality
For example, my miner regularly pulls 2-4 ore from a normal ore, and with maxed bismuth its almost always 2* with a good supply of 3*. Rich nodes consistently give 6+ total ore with a chance for the chunk for an extra gather.
Herbing on the other hand, despite also having a maxed herber with 40/40 bountiful harvest and 40/40 spear scavenger, still regularly plucks only one 1* arathors spear from a node.
That doesn’t even get into the finer details like how overloading an ez-mine node is literally 300% better than overloading an irradiated node. Has it always felt this imbalanced between the two?
