Leather/cloth gathering glyphs are common-sense defiling.

Um what? have you played this game? They do exactly that.

@Ashen.2907 said:Every gathering node in the world has a corresponding node of the same or different type an alternate universe. The glyphs allow you a chance to gather across dimensional barriers. The type of glyph used determines whether you reach into a dimension with the same type of node or into one with a different node. Of course this is based on asura magitech so it works only about a third of the time.

Those crazy asura and their amazing inventions will get us all killed by attracting interdimensional horrors one of these days...but at least Ive got a little extra leather on hand now.

I dunno if it'd be good to be wearing a snazzy suit made from some extra dimensional horror's uncle when he comes through a portal torn in our reality by gemstore harvesting tools, (I mean the Ascalonians wore charr skins and look where that got them) but leather is pretty expensive... so it's understandable...

This is a game in which a giant fireball drops from the sky and burns only your enemies, in which trees are not set on fire by burning but some underwater objects are. It's a world in which Bay Leaf, Chili Pepper, Coriander, Dill, Clove, Garlic, Mint, Rosemary, Sage, Sesame, Thyme, and Vanilla all drop from the same plant.

Of course it makes sense that a magic glyph can spontaneously generate leather or cloth.

PS we already get leather and cloth from certain foes; it just turns out to be an inefficient faucet for them.

Hey.

You can still go back to WoW.

No one will stop you.

We're finding the tattered armor of people that were killed when recklessly training to those nodes. We're getting animal claws and teeth too, after all. Must have been lost in the fight with said dead characters. Maybe they can add the occasional skull as a harvest too.

Some games.. need that realism to make them work.. this is not such a game.
