Just a wish.....

I think it would be really really really cool if you could use special abilitys with your pick, tree axe, essence syphon, etc. on the reasource you are gathering.
Just think...being able to multi-strike and critical them little piles of resources , it kinda makes sense that you would be able too, whats the difference of hitting a big golem with your normal axe/sword, and whacking a dead golem/ore pile with your pick I dunno, I think it would be fun for us and all those craft nuts out there, whats every one else think of it, i wanna hear it

You can, just get the necessary abilities and skills to use them.

I kinda ment like if you hit multi-strike while you where gathering a resource you would hit the pile 5 times instantly and still get the resources, exactly like when you hit a mob you hit them 5 times... Can you do that, and I just never figured that out??? lol, cause that would be cool

[Seranthor]

Nope, doesn't exist. Are you also suggesting that we should be able to hit the stone golem with a rune stylus and get a spell off him? But you can use gummy maggots to make you gather faster.

*chuckle*

lol, I give up, I meant if you where gathering a bronze golem....chop1--5 bronze ore....chop2--3 bronze ore chop3 you hit multi-- 5,7,2,3,1 bronze ore, I guess it would kindof be an "easy button" but is it not the same think to hit
the "easy button" when you use special abilitys to kill a mob.

But don't mobs attack back? Yes they do.

Does Iron Ore attack back?

I can see it now...

"ouch! The iron ore hit me for 34 point of damage!"

or a Debuff...

"Ouch! The iron ore hit my foot for 2 point of damage!" For the next 30 minutes... decreased running/walking speed by 25% and every time you take a step you say in the chat channel "Ouch!" or "Ohhhh my foot!" or "Arggggg!"

Sorry about the rant I just had Pop... and I have not had Pop or any thing with caffine in a very LONG time. Plus Horizons is down, too.

I think Arkan's point is a valid one.

The ability to attack multiple times is not only there for ending the fight sooner, but to save your hide/scales/fur/whatever in dire need.

To gather more effectively there are very useful alchemist potions; at least as long as you're not optimal for gathering the resource they really make a big difference in the speed your cargo gets filled.

okok, you people win

[Arkan543]

However, it still not a bad idea...

If depoits of gatherable goods had a risk to them i think mining would be funner.

But with the added risk you could do those move stated above.

Ryzom did this... Could this game do the same thing?
