Hi! I have been reading these forums for quite some time now (though I don't always post very often) and I don't think I've read any threads about this.
Also yesterday I read back about 10 pages or so and didn't see anything, Im not a premium member so no forum search for me.
Does anyone know how long it takes for a node (such as herb/mine/fish) to respawn in that spot again.
I have never paid too much attention but here recently I've had alot more competition for nodes and knowing the respawns would be a big help.
So I've been trying to calculate the respawn. However it seems random of sorts.
If you look at maps that show node spawn locations, you will see that there are nodes of the same thing that apparently spawn very close to each other. However I have never seen these spawn at the same time.
For example... This allakhazam map shows that there are some spots where mithril can spawn right next to each other. However some of the boxes are filled in where as in other spots on the map there are 2 boxes next to each other one filled in white the other blank.
Anyone knows what this means? Alternate spawn points?
From my experience nodes eventually always spawn in the same spot, so I don't understand why it shows the multiple nodes next to each other, yet I've never seen them both there at the same time.
Also this morning as I was timing nodes I had a node re-spawn in 30 minutes give or take 5-10 minutes. It was the same node in the exact same spot I made sure of this. Then also timed another node that did not re-spawn in the hour and a half I was farming nodes.
So I'm beginning to think that the game does have a certain respawn rate for nodes however It might not be the same node to spawn. What do I mean? Well lets say you break down the map I linked into sub categories or camps. It seems the game takes into account how much of that node is in the mini zone or camp and then when someone farms them to 0 nodes it begins re-spawning them on a timer, but randomly choosing which node in the mini zone or camp gets re-spawned.
Any way I will allow for more experienced players to perhaps fill me in on how this works before I make this long post an epic.
