I have tried every tool on sipteh to harvest crystal but nothing works! Idk if this is a bug or they changed how you can only harvest it by hand.
Read the patchnotes! You can´t use an tool for harvesting any small ressources (single stone, branch, kristall). Only by hand.
Effectively, the original being able to mine huge volumes of crystal with tools was the bug as it became exploitable. I have not tested every and all crystal placements on Siptah and Exiled Lands, but I understand this is not hand-pickup only, which unless FC do a 180 on the fix, then this is Resolved.
I have tried every tool on the big crystal nodes and they disappear after you hit them. I’m saying the only way I have been able to farm crystal is by hand picking it.
Yes. You can only gather crystals by hand.
If there is an error in this then watch the hotfixes for a reversal. Otherwise crystal will be by hand only.
The issue is not mining single crystals, it is mining crystal nodes.
By the current reasoning, every rock and tree should give 1 resource if crystal nodes give 1 resource.
I get that folks harvesting single branches and stone for 4-15 resources is a huge game breaker and follows the Funcom policy of letting bugs stand while they immediately jump on standard harvesting that has been in place for 5+ years to “fix” it.
I predict, similar to mushrooms, this will be revised to allow harvesting nodes with a tool. But, until then, everyone is safe from the exploits of standard harvesting mechanics.
Just farm T2 bearers and you’ll find yourself swimming in crystal in short order.
