Max limit on nodes

What source do we have on the 28 node limit per account? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 115.64.225.152 (talk • contribs).

These patch notes (2016-07-28) establish that the daily limit is per-account. The actual number of nodes per day should be easy enough to determine by experiment. --Idris (talk) 17:20, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

I just went through multiple characters (doing 1 first to get all nodes possible on the map), and found that you can get up to 28 nodes per character (if there's that many left in the daily limit for the account), but by logging into alts, you can harvest up to a total of 35 (afterwhich, no alts are having any nodes show up). I assume that the person who said there was the 28 account limit only went through it on 1 character, so it was a bit off, since there seems to be a daily cooldown per node for each character, preventing new ones from spawning, and therefore you are unable to reach the cap on just a single character (ANet's language in the patch notes made this seem somewhat intentional, to keep a tiny bit of the only mechanic of getting more with alts, but very little).

I did a round of harvesting with two characters using the Glyph of Bounty on my mining pick, which grants extra strikes on each node (up to 3, in the case of normal mining nodes such as the Bloodstone Crystal Node). I still mined 35 nodes, plus 2 on the 36th node, before the rest of the nodes disappeared. 35 x 3 would be 105 strikes; I was recording numbers of strikes carefully and registered 133 strikes. Got 14 Blood Rubies. Therefore, it seems the limit is on nodes, not strikes, and that the extra strikes effect from Item Booster and Glyph of Bounty is beneficial. --Evilsofa (talk) 08:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Home Instance Node

On first day it provided 3 rubies. Will update on subsequent days. Separ (talk) 21:13, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

I just received 1 Blood Ruby per whack, totaling 3 Blood Rubies from home harvesting. This matches my recollection of multiple visits. Adeira Tasharo (talk) 23:21, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

The home instance nodes provide 3 rubies per day. The main page should be corrected.174.5.217.110 15:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)Roj

respawn time?

Has anyone gotten a sense of how long they take to respawn? In my experience, They are not _just_ a daily reset, there is a delay before they are available again. Seems to be less than 24 hours, but not as little as 12. Maybe 18 hours? Adeira Tasharo (talk) 23:35, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

I think it's a 02:00 UTC reset. 99.63.169.4 02:45, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Confirmed, not 2:00 UTC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.220.172.133 (talk) at 15:02, 9 March 2021‎ (UTC).

Bloodstone Crystal Node should have own special icon on map. (Like Dragon Crystal Node has own icon special icon.) --Cemo (talk) 09:15, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Well even the orrian perals has their own icon in the map yet not in home instance . Some things just are how they are sadly. --DiegoDeLaHouska (talk) 13:30, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
