I am having an issue where, since I have maxed the plethora of ore and bismuth trees for Mining Prof., despite it saying I should receive Null Stones and no longer Imperfect Null Stones when mining Bismuth, now I just don’t seem to get any stones at all. It seems like my chance to receive Imperfect Null Stones just went away, instead of those Imperfects I would have received just becoming whole Null Stones. Now I’m left only with that low chance to receive a whole Null Stone from a Bismuth node that I had before and…nothing else.
I am on my way to maxing Iron Claw as well, only to expect the same result, being fewer Null Stones?
And the prices are not coming up, they are going down, so clearly people are getting more Null Stones, but how? Being NEW to mining? Because it seems the “better” I get at it, the fewer Null Stones I am getting.
I already put in Bug Report in game.
If true, this is pretty rough. My miner is one point from maxing bismuth and I’m glad I found this post to hold off for now.
I’ve noticed this too. As my tree gets filled out, less null stones drop.
I think I’ve had a similar situation as well. Was mining for a few hours, getting imperfects regularly until I maxed out bismuth - then I got imperfects from everything else but bismuth, and no full null stones whatsoever.
Bump for more visibility.
10/16 edit : Still having this issue, and with more points spent toward maxing Ironclaw this week, the null stones are dropping even less frequently. The solution can’t be (must be?) to drop mining and start over just to get Null Stones. Why can I not get a response somewhere, that someone might look into what’s happening?
I’ve started noticing this on my druid, it was working fine before, seems like since last week the chance of nullstones has plummeted. I used to get 4-5 an hour with just bismuth maxed in hallowfall. I’ve spent 2 hours in isle of dorn so far with 0 drops, no full nullstones, no imperfects whatsoever, not sure what’s going on.
This wouldn’t be possible anyways, as the spec points are maintained if you pick the profession back up on the same character. Only the actual skill and recipes are reset.
Can confirm. Something has happened to Null Stone drop rate. Im not even getting the lessers
Same. The better I get at mining, the worse I am getting at mining Null Stones at all, yet clearly someone is mining them up, as the prices have absolutely plummeted.
This is clearly not working as intended, or at least not for some people.
you can get them from fishing - I still get them often from mining but i haven’t maxed out my trees
It would be quite ironic if this bug resulted in farming Null Stones being more effective with fishing nodes than mining nodes.
well the prices plummeting is likely botters at this point, if you mine in wm off in isle of dorn you’ll notice them in mass, it’s kinda crazy already. I report as much as I can and get the action taken notification the next day but at this rate, i think there are way more bots than people reporting.
Anyone know if the bug mentioned here was fixed? Still sitting at 44/45 on my miner for Bismuth because I don’t want to activate the bug if it’s still present.
Still broken for me, and worse because I’ve maxed out another. No response whatsoever to any plea for help, nor explanation.
