Homestead Collection Boxes - Critical Successes


Recommended Posts

Anyone know if the collection boxes are affected by crit success/extra strikes etc? For example, would I get charged quartz as a possible drop from the quartz node if I used the collection box instead of manually?

I know using the collection boxes doesn't count to wizard's vault harvesting tasks, so I wondered if affected this too

I have not had a single charged quartz since i use the collection boxes (multiple accounts). I had those regularly in my home instance. Bad luck? Maybe...

This is partly why I've asked the question. I've not noticed any either. I might switch to manual on that node and see if there's a difference.

There is. I am always gathering Quartz manually and often get additional ones, plus a Charged one every now and then.

Home instante node aren't affected by extra strike, may it be manually or with the collection box. Critical success doesn't exist in gathering.

Let me rephrase or clarify

Manually on nodes I got extra mats (eg 1-2 extra wood on trees rather than straight 3 and charged quartz on quartz nodes). Whether that counts as critical or just extra resources I'm not really bothered by in terms of terminology, my question was more whether the auto collect boxes also generate those. So far, my observations show they don't whereas manually they do. It could be rng though, hence my wider query to others

Well, those change in drop are the normal yield of some of this node (basically, the quartz one only), so there are no reason it wouldn't work.

But charge quartz is really a rare occurence, you can go days without seeing one, did you always get 3 quartz or sometimes more? Because the 5 quartz instead of 1 is a more frequent one.

As far as I could tell, it was always 3 on each of the non-ls nodes on the auto collect, but it’s poss I may have not noticed an extra or two. I will monitor though until a definitive answer appears

Fairly sure I did get a charged quartz from the collection box once. I don't do it regularly and it stood out to me cause I wasn't aware you could get charged quartz from the node. (the 'fairly sure' is cause there's a small chance I may have manually used the nodes then and don't remember clearly)
