DanielKingston.3947 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Is it me or is the lack of Orichalcum Nodes after 2 Expansions getting a bit tedious now? I've just noticed as I'm going for another Gen. 2 Legendary that these Nodes are so few yet the level of the areas are 80, why wouldn't there be more in these areas?I wonder if Arena Net will put more of these nodes in come the next expansion because the material really isn't that rare in terms of its use, it would be more beneficial to players to be able to find more of these instead of having to rely on the Trading Post for purchasing a large amount of it in the future. Might just be me but it's just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Well they’ve been upping it on maps quite a bit esp since PoF so it’s likely they will keep upping it. It is certainly so much easier to acquire than it used to beDon’t forget you can turn mithril into Orich at the forge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scavarius.6059 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 there where once rich ori notes in core maps, but bots/glitchers lead to anet removing them on f2p maps. there is a rich note all the way up north in lake dorik.but maybe i'm doing something wrong here, as i'm sitting on over 500 ingots and ores without actively going for it :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 You could always obtain/use the Glyph of Alchemy. That's what I use; there's so much Mithril around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilora.9524 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I doubt most gather them they just play obtain a ton of unidentified gear and champ bag type things and open and salvage and get them that way. If you do find that rich node you can hit it on all your alts once a day until it moves when update or that map closes. There used to be static one's in the same spot like in southsun but idk if those still around where we used to park our alts back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blp.3489 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Before starting on legendaries my material storage would overflow with orichalcum, 750 ingots plus 750 ore, without any focus on it on my part.gw2efficiency.com has a list of permanent orichalcum nodes, including 3 rich nodes on the PoF maps:https://gw2efficiency.com/gathering/permanent-nodes?filter.materials.copper=false&filter.materials.silver=false&filter.materials.iron=false&filter.materials.gold=false&filter.materials.platinum=false&filter.materials.mithril=false&filter.materials.potatoes=false&filter.materials.lettuce=false&filter.materials.strawberries=false&filter.materials.spinach=false&filter.materials.grapes=false&filter.materials.cabbage=false&filter.materials.pumpkins=false&filter.materials.cauliflower=false&filter.materials.butternut=false&filter.materials.artichoke=false&filter.materials.carrot=false&filter.materials.cactus=false&filter.materials.elderwood=false&filter.materials.flax=false&filter.materials.seaweed=false&filter.materials.lentils=false&filter.materials.mussels=false&filter.materials.clams=false&filter.materials.passiflora=false&filter.materials.quartz=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahkeus.8243 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 They are harder to farm, but since they're spread across so many maps, orichalcum is far from scarce in terms of overall availability. The price of it is so low, you may actually be better off farming something else, selling it, then buying orichalcum instead of directly farming it.

Vavume.8065 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Finding Ori is like finding ancient wood, it is supposed to be somewhat rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It is definitely you. I have over 3750 ingot sitting around and that is after crafting more than 30 legendary weapons and leveling every crafting profession to 500 twice. Also one of the materials I never really had to farm for unlike mithril, elder wood, platinum and iron.@Jilora.9524 said:I doubt most gather them they just play obtain a ton of unidentified gear and champ bag type things and open and salvage and get them that way.

Static non-rich one Auric Basic but that one is really not worth the effort. Several other easy to find locations in AB. Also good for Ancient Wood too. There is a rich one in VB that moves around but finding it is fairly easy. Even easier with mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a rich node on the peaks in the middle of Kourna, which I always end up mining once a week because it's in my volatile magic gathering path for the Kourna daily. I think it moves around a little bit but not too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be mean but I think a dude w 30 legendary and lvl's crafting 2 times for w/e reason is not exactly the typical GW2 player to compare to him and say It's def you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 they're certainly few and none inbetweenbut does it matter, they're only worth as much as copper on the trading post. Just buy them en-bulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 There's rich nodes in the expansion maps, they can spawn in all maps from HoT onwards, although I think there's only a few in fixed locations. Also the main source of Orichalum and Ancient Wood is mostly salvaging UID gear from meta events.If you do happen upon a rich node remember you can spam multiple alts at it once per day.
