Jojo.6140 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I was looking around for a bit but the best info i got was this reddit thread and that is from 2018:https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/8bbwcm/science_exact_gathering_tool_speeds/So i want to get some unlimited gathering tools since i dont have any and want to get the fastest ones, wich ones would that be? I assume the consortium sickle is still the fastest, but im not sure about the mining and logging tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliamRationem.5172 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I don't know the answer, but it's a good question. I'd like to know that! Also, do the speed glyphs make them even faster if they're one of the odd quick animations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylan.2187 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Aren't they all supposed to be the same duration? You need upgrades to make gathering faster after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta.2563 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Fastest is Consortium sickle for plants, and then Unbound Magic Logging Pulse for trees, and Unbound Magic Mining Beam for ore. There should be a new gathering tool with a timekeeper glyph coming out in a few days that says it has a 33% chance to finish gathering instantly. Not sure how that will be compared to Industry which is 50% faster gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need upgrades to make gathering faster after all.They are supposed to be the same duration, but it's buggy as hell and each skin has a different speed. There is also that bug on the Swarm Logging Flute where it's obviously supposed to gather 4 times, but the 3rd time never works and you just end up gathering 3 times just more slowly than any other tool because the last one takes ages to proc. So basically you pay for a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the Consortium sickle one of those that gathers the whole node all at once or something weird like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Keep in mind some of them you can cancel the animations after receiving the items by moving, which cuts the time in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robban.1256 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Best in slot?: Fused Molten/Consortium harv sickle + Focused solar logging tool + watchwork mining pick(If you dont cancel the animation from the tools then consortium sickle, and unbound logging axe, and unbound mining beam are the fastest without cancelling.)Heres proof that Fused Molten Sickle is equal fast as Consortium Harvesting sickleFor more see note by morbidel - https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/bx9z3u/unlimited_gathering_kit_speeds/( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1stw9RIOjS2ENOelHPhp494ne90e2G3xQNUUfmQ6mXBs/edit#gid=1489005975 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the Consortium sickle one of those that gathers the whole node all at once or something weird like that?same, i thought Fused Molten Sickle was supposed to be the fastest for gathering plants because it you can animation cancel itwith glyphs, reaper is still the fastest for node farmswhere as individual nodes, the new Timekeeper is too much to chance, lets assume it takes 1 second (easier to calculate) to gather a nodegather 3 nodes is faster with Industry at 1.5 sec whereas Timekeeper takes 2 secondsgathering 6 nodes Timekeeper needs to proc 3 times (50%) to be equal to Industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo.6140 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Ok thank you everyone for your answers :) . Luckily i was still ably to pick up the consortium sickle 2 days before it rotated out. Im a bit surprised that the older tools are still the faster ones.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Fastest set is Consortium/Fused sickle, then Unbound logging and mining. This is especially true with animation cancelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
