Love the New Gathering Glyphs.

Great idea! Love this!

Can't wait to see it expanded upon! I can finally have a pick that is not a watchwork!

bwahahahahahaahahahaha. so many unbreakable tools sets and transmutation charges are about to be bought...

kitten where's my wallet >.>

I know right.. and the Unbreakable Set is 25% off.. Woohoo!

I look forward towards Leather prices skydiving.

That material has been so disproportionally overpriced for years now.

Oooo good call for what to add! Was wondering what to do with my free glyph.

They should take this time to put all the Mining Pick Skin Options back in the store.. for a limited time.. just so all the people that passed up on buying a style.. can get price gouged.. I mean.. given a chance to complete their sets, when they opted to take the watchwork instead.

I dont think we needed more way to get free base mats. Oh well, the rest of it is cool.

@STIHL.2489Can't wait to see it expanded upon! I can finally have a pick that is not a watchwork!

My biggest excitement is to have something when logging; I have the Lucky Dog for foraging and the Watchwork Pick for mining, but until now I've had no bonus on logging.

I think this will be a well received change. It also helps all us loons that had bought a permanent tool for an appearance that was later superseded by one with more utility. All I can say is "Oh Shinny!". Now where did I put that Skrit tool. Nice one.

PSA for those who haven't used the free glyph yet, don't be like me -- I was in a rush due to having to get out the door so I gleefully nabbed the leather glyph, then, subconsciously cued by the blog article, applied it to my Lucky Dog because I like leather better than trophies.

Oops.

That just overwrote my trophy glyph, so I actually lost a glyph doing that. I probably won't bother Support with it, it was me not taking time to understand the new system, but I hope to save others from the same error.

The glyph should have been put in your inventory, you're supposed to be able to swap them freely.

From todays article: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-gathering-storm/

"Most tools in the game will now have an upgrade slot, and you can swap glyphs in and out freely without using an upgrade extractor. Glyphs applied to limited-use tools will go back into your inventory after you consume the final gathering charge."

Yup.. love my molten harvesting tools, now I get to use them again!

Checking ... nope. Probably because the trophy one isn't available yet? The only ones in the free box were swiftness, leather, cloth, and ... um ... I forget. Wasn't trophies though. Nothing else shows up in the gem store.

Anyone know where you can buy the temp ones? The only glyphs I've seen are the ones from the free black lion box.

Pretty sure you need to trade in any of the current bonus tools, such as the Lucky Dog, in exchange for the same tools, except you will get the tool back with the appropriate glyph. I'm guessing if you didn't turn it in to get the glyph, then there is no glyph to return to you when you added the leather glyph.

Did u visit the npc to swap the tools with existing perks? it converts them to the new set up, where ur previous perk like unbound magic or sprockets becomes a removable glyph?But as you said, not sure about the doggy one as it's not one of the glyph that are available. However, the npc had the doggy conversion as well so not sure. I would still contact the support, they're very helpful and may fix it up for you.

Ooh. That's unfortunate but makes sense. :(

I bet that's what happened. Guess it is worth a ticket after all. Thanks for the clarifications, all.

Are you sure you applied the Glyph, I noticed that my Watchwork did not even have an Upgrade Slot available, until I traded it in.

Regarding the Leather Gathering Glyph, I have only been able to get Thick leather in Lvl 80 gathering zones. Anyone get anything of a higher tier than that?

Good to know. Maybe it goes by your characters level.

I got thin leather sections in brisban wildlands using a lvl 80 toon with mithril pick, coarse leather sections in dredgehaunt cliffs. will update on what map gives what leather.

with guild gathering boost and surveying banner, mined the ff rich iron nodes and some iron ores on the way:

brisban wildlands: 2 rich iron (thin leather)dredgehaunt cliffs: 3 rich iron (coarse leather)lornar's pass: 3 rich iron (thin leather)blazeridge steppes: 2 rich iron (coarse leather)fields of ruin: 2 rich iron (thin leather)gendarran fields: 2 rich iron (thin leather)harathi hinterlands: 2 rich iron (thin leather from Martyr's Tomb in Ruins of Demetra & coarse leather from the rich iron south of War King's Greatcamp near the ulgoth event)

I didn't bother to mine kessex hills, snowden drifts and diessa plateau. I assume with the same recommended level of 15 - 25 like brisban wildlands it will also give thin leather.overall i got 331 iron ore, 59 thin leather sections and 26 coarse leather sections.

Just want to add how much I love melting rich nodes with my upgraded unbreakable mining pick. +50% mining speed from glyph, +50% Speed from quickness, +20% from warrior dual wield trait. Like WOW so fast!! :D

Thanks ANet !!!

I edited my post but that doesn't show my shame enough ... so I'll add a fresh post to note that I goofed, I didn't overwrite the Scavenger glyph, I just stuck it in another tool in a hurry and then ran off to an appointment. I realized when I got Thin Blood from logging today.

My bad, so much my bad. I've closed my Support ticket on a chagrined note.
