Eternal Ice Shard Home Instance Node not available for purchase?

[Cosmic.2390]

I am curious if anyone else has run into this issue - I can see the Eternal Ice Shard Home Instance Node in Jora's keep at the Karma vendor as available for purchase however, for my husband it's just not there. He has a full home instance with all nodes and has completed the story. Has anyone else run into this and been able to resolve?

It seems to be a bug. I had no issue whatsoever buying it but others have been unable to

[Cyninja.2954]

Same here, can't buy it. Probably the same bug that has been plaguing every single living world release. I guess it will get fixed with some upcoming patch.

Same hier, I can't even see the node at Vendor..

[Roamer.3259]

I'm able to see the node, but my partner cant, but we are waiting to see if this node is available from the strike mission again before wasting gold we dont need to.

Shouldn't you wait to see if there isn't a non-account bound version that drops from someone somewhere? Fool you twice and all that...

True, but given the new node appeared almost immediately on the TP last time, chances are high that 1-2 days in, and no node on the TP, that it's not available vie chests.

it's probably just like the grothmar valley node thingie-cause mucho dinero to buy n gives useless mat that u cant sell to npc or players n cant consume it for Violatile Magic n then a few days later u can buy it on TP for half the cost from npc vendor :( we just have too much in game gold :( :)

[DebraKadabra.5278]

That's not the issue. Some folks are able to see the node to purchase it from the karma vendor at the Keep, while the majority of the rest of us (myself included) can't.

[Pifil.5193]

I can't see the node to buy it either. Don't think I ever had this problem before with any other episodes.

[kcgutjahr.6480]

Having the same problem. Can't see the node in the keep's karma vendor, so can't buy. One of my guildies can't see it either. All my other guildies can see it, though. Haven't had this happen before.

[Teratus.2859]

It's not for sale at my NPC either.. likewise i've seen in chat that certain items for acheivements are not spawning for some people but have spawned for me and others so yeah.. bugs.

You know, now that i've seen the hatched chili node for 1/4 of the price (tp) i paid for it (vendor) i'm just going to wait and see if the same thing happens with this node. 50g is a lot to ask for if it's just a reskin/reuse of the hatched chili (can't be consumed/sold) and we only get 3 eternal ice; which is better than the normal 1 or 2 hatched chilis i get from the rip-off home instance node.

Edit: it's bugged for me too.

doesnt seem like theres a sellable version of this one.

I bought it and now I've got a Dragon Crystal Node in my home instance; not an Eternal Ice Shard Node.

[Vash.2386]

It’s now showing up for me as purchasable from the karma vendor. It wasn’t before, so maybe this latest patch fixed it. I haven’t bought it yet so I don’t know whether it will turn into a dragon crystal node as the above posters experience.

[Bowch.3018]

My Eternal Ice Shard Node has now turned up; and I've still got the Dragon Crystal Node as well...

That's happened once before! The Orrian Oyster node, IIRC, at first gave the Fire Orchid instead! That's how my partner got it for their home instance!
