Mining node on mini map - not there is "real life"

Community General Discussion

right now I am standing right on top of a mining node according to mini-map, yet nothing is showing to be mined. I have noticed this a lot in Dragon Isles. I’m standing in a cave right now in the waking shores, right between two nodes, no up or down arrows, I’m on a flat spot in a large cave, with two serevite deposits clearly visible to my left and right on the mini-map, yet absolutely nothing appearing to my right or left.

I’ve looked closely, slowly moused over the entire areas both left and right, not even a sliver of ore is visible. My character’s has mining skill of 67 / 100, and all my 22 points of knowledge is currently in the main specialization of mining process, and I have the helm equipped to further increase my perception by 23.

Is it possible I can see it on my mini-map yet not have enough perception to see it when I am on top if it?

One of my other characters is at 100 / 100 mining and a few places I have had her I have noticed very tiny slivers of ore visible in caves, etc.

Any thoughts?

I have the interact key enabled just for this reason. It can hit nodes/treasures you can’t see in walls or under rocks.

Ore has been known to act strangely in the Dragon Isles. Sometimes, it is embedded so deep in the rock you can’t mine it. Sometimes, it rejects the earth and enters the air, too far for anyone to reach.

Posting here cus this is still an issue. I’m currently standing on top of a rock that has a titan touched serevite node underneath it. The part that indicates the elemental type is sticking out just above the rock, but can’t mine the node. Please fix.

This is helpful information that they need to pin to the top of this forum. I’ve been playing since late vanilla and never knew this existed. Just searched in settings and was able to mine a node that’s trapped under a rock. TY so very much!

Interact key ftw

Well they just added it this expansion alongside their other UI overhauls, so that’s probably at least part of why you overlooked it in prior years. :wink:
