Talk:Consortium Harvesting Sickle

Unlimited use, limited usefulness

I have noticed that despite the flowery animation, these things are somewhat limited on the amount of harvesting you can do. I have had occasion where I got upwards of 5 or 6 of a collected plant item from one plant, on all sorts of regular sickles, but with this, one swipe and only 2 of whatever the plant yields, every single time I have used it so far. Did they take away the random possibility of getting more than usual from the regular sickles if you use this one instead? 69.183.31.50 06:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Addendum to above, I haven't used it there yet, but does this also limit the chance of getting a passion flower from a regular passiflora plant in areas like the Southsun Cove? 69.183.31.50 06:27, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

No, it functions just like an Orichalcum Harvesting Sickle.--Relyk ~ talk < 07:49, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure you weren't just in an Overflow (likely if you were in Southsun) and not getting your WvW gathering bonus? Danikat (talk) 09:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I've used this and gotten well over 5 gathers from a single node before, so I'm pretty confident in saying that it's pretty much exactly the same as an ori sickle but with a fancy animation. 76.26.89.9 00:03, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Item ID

[&AgFipgAA] (42594) is for the soulbound version. [&AgEivwAA] (48930) is for the account bound version. BryghtShadow (talk) 06:55, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Faster

Is it slightly faster than other sickles or it's just an impression of mine? 79.9.192.224 23:03, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

It is most certainly faster. —Dr Ishmael 00:44, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
