[Describe the bug here]
It’s not a bug, I think. It’s just that there is very little gold in the volcano now. I am used to hitting as many obsidian nodes as I can, and I usually come away with 240-260 gold nuggets. Sometimes more. Since the last update my average take is 22 nuggets. Where are we supposed to get gold now?
It’s old, and one chest was slightly moved to a nearby cave, but the video below explains how to gather enough gold and silver for more than 1 maproom. In addition, brimstone galore, there is a 3 skull croc near the end, a patch of shrooms that yield me around 1k with a good sickle and access to the breathing mask and argossian dream powder. An interesting place to visit !
I guess it depends… I come down NW (since my base is in middle of map, and I got depot at oasis)
One along wall, 3 up top(which can be nab from ledge, and only got relic bow hunter), dragon spot has 2 (thou 1 isnt always up) cut to right, climb tower, then one by relic hunters… lure them out and around. XD or skip it. Got few more up top on tower and keep.
You get more coins and ingots then ore. I know theres few more chest about… but climbing is fidgty with 1.50 on ps4.
Isnt whole lot of combat. (I do this at lv10-20 stocking up along with L-repair kits. )
I havnt done jungle route in sometime, alot of swimming and diving…
granted…no were near is awesome as Volcano…(which use to have alot of chests for it) and mining. Both paths don’t require fighting if you know which to avoid.
I’ve manage some shadespice off blue eye, got a silvervein rocknose… Cannot seem get a gold one.
New Wine cellar has some chests scattered about. I guess now with the variety of areas for chests, they are veering away from gold being a pick mining resource, and more of a pirate treasure hunter mechanic.
It be nice if it was random node, in Volcano that could replace a node of Obsidain. Or just has its own node in general. You could place them in those far nocks and crannies no one really goes to.
You may have simply had an unlucky yield on this harvest. Other players have offered up some excellent alternatives as to where to find more gold until we can establish what is going on. However…if this is a covert nerf we dont want it! The game has had enough nerfs already, and we dont need to turn this into a further race to the bottom.
