Love the New Gathering Glyphs.

[Rococo.8347]

Has any kind soul out there done a 'for science!' check on what leather/cloth drops from home instance nodes?

Also is there a ELI5 on the whole system? im sort of confused about temp glyphs and if its worth it,also where my 'free' one is best placed and which type- im assuming as the only regular gathering I do is in my home instance and most of it uses the mining pick that I should get a leather one and pop it in there?

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

At least you didn't lose anything, no harm, no foul. life happens.

While clearing my home instance yesterday, I got hardened leather (T6) from the Fire Orchid node. It is definitely a possibility.

I have the leather glyph in my mining pick. Tier 1 stuff, sadly, from all the mining nodes where I got a hit. Copper to Ori, it appears to count as a low level zone. Which is only fair, I guess.

Edit: Post above mine seems to suggest that some of the nodes (maybe the LS ones) have better drop tables. I don't recall getting any leather hits on the LS nodes, so I wouldn't know if they work different or not.

Does the glyph of industry stack with quickness or nah

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

It goes by effective character level and material type. This means a level 80 being downscaled in lower level zones will get lower tier materials from gathering nodes. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glyph_of_the_Leatherworker And since there's no upscaling character level, a level 60 gathering from a level 80 zone will only get T4 materials from the gathering tool glyph, even if you're gathering T6 mats like Orichalcum or Ancient Wood.

And as far as Hardened Leather goes, it's always been hard to come by. Even with the leather farm in Lake Doric, players complained they seemed to get more Thick Leather than anything and hardly any Hardened.

[Ze Dos Cavalos.6132]

I mined some ori nodes and got maybe 2 t6 leather and the rest t5.On my home instance all I got was t1 leather, very sad for that since I do home instance every day.

[Linken.6345]

Well looks like home instance count as t1 then.

[Galaa.8475]

I believe, according to this poster.. it does.. as well as other effects.

@Omnicron.2467 said: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 !!!

To those saying "home instances are dropping T1", I can tell you're testing it in Salma District (home instance in Divinity's Reach).

Salma District is inexplicably a level 15 zone while all other home instances (well, at least Rata Sum, Black Citadel, and Hoelbrak, I never go into the Grove) are level 80 instances.

This DOES impact the results from the cloth/leather glyphs.

Yes the leather I got in my home (Hoelbrak) was t5 & 6. I haven't tried the others yet.

One thing that would be really neat is an ability to (at a cost, of course) duplicate a gemstore-exclusive glyph that is already account bound.Currently getting an extra Watchknight, Scavenger, or Unbound glyph requires purchasing a new copy of said tool(s).

Which is weird, because using the leather glyph in a home instance, the only type of leather I got from it was thick leather, which is a T5 material.

Linken was harvesting in the human home instance, which is a level 15 zone. The other 4 are level 80.

[Charrbeque.8729]

Just wanted to point out something I noticed: while in a home instance you're not downleveled. I opened the hero panel while there and saw my level as 80. If I was downleveled the hero panel would say "Effective Level ##" to show what level you're downleveled to.

So it seems the home instances are counted as level 80 zones. But even though I have gathering nodes of different tiers, I still only get Thick Leather from the leather glyph no matter what node I use it on.

Edit: Just reread the item description: "Material types are determined by your character level and location in the world.". Doesn't mention the tier of node your gathering from. I think it means that it doesn't matter what type of node you're gathering from with the glyph. Only what your effective character level is depending on what map you're in. And since home instances count as level 80 maps, I'll only get T5/T6 leather from any type of node in the map.

This whole glyph system is great, and I love it, but at the same time a little confusing. It is nice to finally be able to add a chance for extra mats to my Super Adventure Logging Bear. Watchwork Sprockets from trees? Leather from metal ore? Seems logical =)

Oh and, my Glyph of the Leatherworker is from the free glyph choice in the gem shop (not from black lion chests or trading post).

[Charrbeque.8729]

Ooh! I actually got a Hardened Leather Section from the leatherworker glyph using it on my candy corn node in my home instance. So it seems it's not a myth.

[Cragga the Eighty Third.60]

"Material types are determined by your character level and location in the world."

As far as I could tell from what I puttered with today (Lucky Dog with leatherworker's glyph), it pretty much all depends on the map level.

I started out with a Level 80 character on a Level 80 map, and got all thick leather. So I gave it to my Level 40 character who was doing map complete on Plains of Ashford (Tier 1) and she got rawhide. Moved on to the next map or so and got thin leather on the low end and coarse on the high end. I actually had to get all the way to Fireheart Rise to get rugged, and my 40-level was getting swatted like a mosquito by casual mobs, so I gave the leather-lucky-dog to an 80-level character again, who got all rugged leather while doing Sparkfly Fen events.

Maybe the place where your character level counts are non-level map areas like guild gathering. (Or are there any non-leveled areas?)

[Charrbeque.8729]

Effective level 66-69 I got rugged leather instead of thick leather. Seems to be working as intended, and I think I understand how it works now. All good.

[Charrbeque.8729]

Hmm........got T1 leather from leather glyph on my gathering tool with my human ele. I noticed my human's effective level in the hero panel was 15 while in the home instance. Until today I was playing my asura, and that character wasn't being downleveled while in home instances. Her effective level was 80.

Seems to be a bit of inconsistency here.

Edit: It seems only humans are downleveled to 15, but only in the human home instance. All 4 other home instances they're level 80.

One thing remains to be properly tested: Underleveled characters. Does a lvl 40 in VB get Thick/Hardened Leather or Coarse/Rugged?I think it scales to effective level, that is it takes downleveling in consideration.

A level 40 get level 40 range materials even if they are in a 80 area.

Salma District (home instance in Divinity's Reach) is a level 15 zone. Everyone is downscaled to that, not just humans.

Oh! It seems you're right. I checked charr and asura and they were downleveled in Salma District (home).

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

There's a fix in the works for the L15 Salma District, due out in a release or two.I think it would be great if each Home Instance was a different range of levels; then you could choose which Tier(s) you would like to harvest.
